About Superior Home Builders

We’re not just another general contractor — we’re a builder with a legacy. Since 1981, Superior Home Builders has built a reputation for excellence, affordability, and craftsmanship across South Florida. These questions will help you understand our background, our values, and what makes us different from every other builder in the region.
How long has Superior Home Builders been in business, and where do you build?
Superior Home Builders was established in 1981, giving us over four decades of hands-on construction experience in South Florida. We primarily serve the Wellington community and surrounding areas, including Royal Palm Beach and greater Palm Beach County. That depth of local knowledge means we understand the permitting landscape, soil conditions, building codes, and community standards better than any out-of-area contractor ever could.
Who runs Superior Home Builders, and what is their experience?
Superior Home Builders is owned and operated by David Richert, who began working in the home building industry at just 15 years old alongside his father — who famously built the 4th house in Wellington, FL. By age 18, David was already running full building crews. Today, he brings decades of expertise in everything from custom residential homes and medical buildings to high-end equestrian facilities and government housing. When you hire Superior Home Builders, you’re getting a hands-on owner who knows every phase of construction from the ground up.
What types of projects does Superior Home Builders handle?
We are a full-service general contractor specializing in three core categories: custom residential construction, commercial construction, and equestrian facility builds. Our portfolio spans custom dream homes, kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, guest houses, medical offices and build-outs, retail spaces, horse stalls, and large-scale equestrian estates. If you can dream it, we can build it — on budget and on time.
Is Superior Home Builders affordable, or do you only handle high-end projects?
We proudly serve clients across the full spectrum — from budget-conscious homeowners looking for cost-cutting solutions to clients who want luxurious, high-end builds. We guide every client to keep costs down without sacrificing quality or your vision. We also offer eco-friendly and environmentally conscious construction options for clients who want a sustainable build. No project is too modest or too grand for our team.
What makes Superior Home Builders different from other South Florida contractors?
Three things set us apart: quality, affordability, and a commitment to perfection. We don’t consider a project finished until it’s absolutely right. Our team manages every aspect of your build from start to finish, so there are no gaps, no surprises, and no finger-pointing between subcontractors. Our loyal, repeat clientele speaks for itself — most of our business comes from referrals and returning customers who trust the Superior name.

Superior Home Builders approaches every residential project with that reverence, bringing microscopic attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Here’s what you need to know about building or renovating your home with us.

Can Superior Home Builders design and build a fully custom home in South Florida?

Absolutely. Custom home construction is at the heart of what we do.

We work with you through every phase — design, permitting, construction, and finishing — so your new home reflects exactly who you are.

How does Superior Home Builders ensure quality in residential builds?

We hold ourselves to a simple standard: we don’t finish a project unless it is absolutely perfect. Every residential build goes through careful oversight at every stage, with our team personally managing the details so nothing falls through the cracks. We combine construction excellence with an outstanding client experience, because we know that a great home is only half the story — how you felt during the build matters just as much.

Can I remodel or add on to my existing home, or do you only build new construction?

We do both. Whether you’re dreaming of enlarging your kitchen, adding a guest suite, converting a garage, or doing a full home renovation, Superior Home Builders handles renovations and additions with the same care and precision as new builds. We’ll work within your existing structure and help you explore the most cost-effective approach to get the result you want.

Commercial Construction

In commercial construction, delays cost money and poor quality costs your reputation. Superior Home Builders delivers innovative, cost-effective commercial builds with the speed and precision that business owners and developers demand. Whether you’re breaking ground on a new facility or building out an interior space, here’s what you should know about working with us on your commercial project.
What types of commercial construction projects does Superior Home Builders complete?
We handle a wide range of commercial projects across South Florida, including medical offices, medical build-outs, retail and commercial spaces, government housing, office renovations, and other commercial facility builds. Our experience across diverse commercial sectors means we understand the unique demands of each industry — from healthcare compliance requirements to retail foot-traffic flow.
How does Superior Home Builders keep commercial projects on time and on budget?
We manage every aspect of your commercial project from start to finish — no handoffs, no gaps, no surprises. Our project management approach is built around your timeline and your budget.

Our clients choose us because we say what we’ll do and do what we say.
Can Superior Home Builders handle complex or large-scale commercial construction?
Yes. We specialize in navigating complex commercial construction challenges. From multi-phase builds to technically demanding projects like medical facilities and government contracts, we have the experience, crew, and systems to execute at a high level. If your project has unusual requirements, tight deadlines, or strict regulatory standards, we welcome the challenge.
Does Superior Home Builders assist with commercial permits and regulatory requirements in Palm Beach County?

Yes. Navigating South Florida’s permitting and regulatory landscape is second nature to us after 40+ years in the region. We manage the permitting process on your behalf, coordinate with county and municipal offices, and ensure your commercial project meets all local building codes and compliance requirements — so you can focus on running your business while we handle the paperwork.

Why should I choose Superior Home Builders over a larger national commercial contractor?

Local expertise matters. As a South Florida-based builder with deep roots in the Wellington and Palm Beach County community, we bring personal accountability that a national chain simply can’t match. You get direct access to ownership, faster communication, and a team that’s invested in the community where they build. We’re not just your contractor — we’re your neighbor.

Equestrian Construction

Wellington, Florida, is one of the premier equestrian communities in the world — and Superior Home Builders has been building exceptional equestrian facilities right here in its backyard for decades. Whether you need a private retreat with a few stalls or a full professional-grade equestrian complex, we have the specialized expertise to build it right. Here are the most common questions we hear from equestrian clients.
What types of equestrian facilities does Superior Home Builders construct?

We build a full spectrum of equestrian facilities, from simple private setups with a few horse stalls to large-scale, complex professional equestrian estates. Our equestrian builds include horse stalls and barns, riding arenas, tack rooms, feed rooms, wash racks, staff quarters, hay storage, and full multi-structure equestrian compounds. We design each facility around the specific needs of the horses and the operational requirements of the owner.

Does Superior Home Builders have specific experience building equestrian facilities in Wellington, FL?

Yes — and that distinction matters significantly. Wellington is home to the Winter Equestrian Festival and some of the most prestigious equestrian estates in the country. Our team has extensive experience building high-end equestrian facilities in this community, which means we understand the local standards, the aesthetic expectations, and the functional demands of a world-class horse property. Our facilities are built for both beauty and performance.

Can you design a custom equestrian facility that fits my specific horses and disciplines?

Absolutely. No two equestrian operations are the same — a hunter/jumper barn has different needs than a dressage facility or a polo stable. We work closely with each client to design and build a facility tailored to your horses, your disciplines, your staff, and your vision. From stall sizing and ventilation to arena footing and lighting, every decision is made with the welfare of your horses and the efficiency of your operation in mind.

Are Superior Home Builders equestrian facilities built to withstand South Florida's climate and weather?

Yes, and it’s a non-negotiable for us. South Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricane season present unique challenges for equestrian construction. We build with materials and methods specifically suited to the regional climate, ensuring proper ventilation for horse comfort, structural integrity for storm resilience, and durability that holds up year after year. We don’t just build to code — we build beyond it.

How do I get started on an equestrian construction project with Superior Home Builders?**

Getting started is simple. Call or reach out through our contact form on our contact page. We’ll schedule a consultation to discuss your vision, your site, your horses’ needs, and your budget. From that first conversation, we’ll guide you through every step of the design and build process, making sure the end result exceeds your expectations — and your horses’ standards.
