Horizon Homes Of Tampa, Inc.

What Horizon Homes Of Tampa, Inc. does

Horizon Homes of Tampa, Inc. is a privately held custom homebuilder founded in 1985 by Phil Duffey in Odessa, Florida. The company designs and builds one-of-a-kind custom residences, custom horse barns for equestrian clientele, and remodeling/additions to existing homes for individual homeowners in the Tampa Bay area. All client engagement is direct-to-consumer, with Phil Duffey acting as the sole point of contact from initial design concept through move-in, integrating residential design expertise with state-licensed building contractor capabilities.

The company initially operated in the traditional model home/spec building market, earning local and state Homebuilding Design Awards, before transitioning solely to individual custom home construction around 1995. Its core technology is an integrated design-build workflow: Phil Duffey combines his background as a past President of the Florida Residential Designers Association with a State Building Contractor license, working directly with architects to complete full house packages and maintaining a network of qualified subcontractors. Clients may use Phil's preferred interior designers (Kenneth Poley Interiors, Karen Voda Interior Design, Dreamland Interiors) or bring their own.

The business operates on a referral-based revenue model with project-based, quote-driven pricing on multi-year custom home contracts. Revenue streams consist of one-time project fees across three product lines: Custom Home Construction, Custom Barn Construction, and Remodeling and Additions. The company also develops within equestrian estate communities (Steeplechase, Citrus Green). There is no institutional funding, no disclosed revenue, and minimal marketing beyond word-of-mouth referrals, a basic website, and a Facebook page. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees.
