MEET THE FOUNDER

The Face of Trustworthy Renovations and Home Building

Jeff Burns has spent the last 45 years carving out a notable niche in high-end home building, custom residential renovations, penthouse renovations, additions and historic property renovations. His current business slate includes three unique projects in Delray Beach’s historic landscape between Swinton and Seacrest, and three more Lake Ida properties ongoing, with two more to follow.

Burns started building his career at 15-years old when he enrolled in trade school and became the youngest licensed general contractor in the state of Delaware in 1983. He built one addition after another and soon had six carpenters and 20 subcontractors working for him. He and his team became a wonderful asset to his community and had a positive impact on the city of Wilmington and the state of Delaware.

In 2000 he moved to Delray Beach and has been building there for the past 25 years. Mr. Burns is known for his honesty, his integrity and the quality of his work. He is also known to be one of the most experienced on-site contractors in the area with a reputation for being very  personable, well-spoken and friendly. His popularity comes through in the countless referrals that suggest, “If you don’t know this guy, you should take the time to meet him.”

With hundreds of projects under his belt and many more on the horizon, he is living his best life and doing his best work for our community, leaving an indelible mark professionally and personally.

HOW WE WORK

Craftsmanship Meets Commitment

At Sandhill Builders, we believe every home has a story—and we’re here to help you write the next chapter.

We specialize in home renovations that respect what already exists, while making space for what’s next. Historic restorations, kitchen overhauls, seamless additions that feel original to the bones of the house—we handle it all with care and precision.

Our goal is simple: when you walk through your home, it should feel like yours. Not because it’s finished, but because it finally fits.

Building your Dreams

Plenty of firms can deliver fine craftsmanship. What makes the difference is how you feel along the way.

At Sandhill, we focus as much on the relationship as the result. Our team doesn’t operate behind closed doors. We stay present, communicative, and genuinely collaborative, from that first sit-down to the last walkthrough. No confusion. No vanish acts. Just good people doing careful work, in sync with your vision, your schedule, and your expectations.

Building a home is a big deal. You shouldn’t have to manage the process alone. With us, you never will.

Our Mission

We don’t just build homes. We build legacy.

Our mission is simple, but the work is anything but. We create custom residences that feel rooted in place and built to last—timeless in design, thoughtful in execution.

In South Florida, where beauty and resilience must go hand in hand, we blend modern thinking with enduring craft. That means using the right materials, never rushing the details, and designing with both today and tomorrow in mind.

The goal? A home that lives beautifully now—and still holds meaning decades from now. One that feels like yours from day one and still fits when your story evolves.
