The Empire Custom Builders Story:

Whether it’s a new home, business or remodeling job, Empire Custom Builders Owner Matt Joyce gives personal attention to every detail performed throughout the building process.

Matt says, “The remodeling business today is overrun with inexperienced builders not focusing on their clients needs.  Value engineering, maintaining schedules, and staying on budget are essential to client satisfaction.  Since our inception in 2003, we’ve had 100 percent client satisfaction on every project completed by Empire.  Our philosophy is promises made, promises kept, that’s why our customers trust our quality work.”

As a fourth-generation building contractor, Matt has an in-depth understanding of the industry.  “I received my first toolbox from my grandfather when I was 3 years old,” he says.  “His values and work ethic remain with me today.”

Throughout the years, Empire Custom Builders has included homes and remodeling projects in prestigious neighborhoods in the Central Florida area including Lake Forest, Spruce Creek Fly-In, Alaqua, Magnolia Plantation and many others.

Today, a key area of Empire’s focus is quality, cost-efficient remodeling.  “We are a full design-build firm, so I am heavily involved in the design of all projects,” Matt says. “The reality with remodeling projects is that they are very dynamic.   When you get started with a remodel, everything changes.  Our experience allows us to foresee the future and correct issues without slowing down our schedule and meeting client expectations.   

Matt sits on the Board of Directors of the Volusia Homebuilders Association, and is an active member of the Florida, National, and Metro-Orlando Homebuilders Associations. “We are actively involved in our industry, and we are aware of what is going on in our industry — whether it’s new products, new building trends, or legislative issues with
helping communities,” Matt says. “We are blessed as a company, and we know it is important to give back.”
