About Tier 1 Custom Builders

Maurice Sweet, Certified Florida Building Contractor, Owner, Tier 1 Custom Builders
Maurice Sweet

Our owner, Maurice Sweet, began his journey in Destin, Florida, when he joined the U.S. Air Force and became a Pararescue (PJ) specialist in 1985. His passion for construction was sparked when he purchased a dilapidated mobile home. With no formal training in construction, Maurice taught himself the necessary skills by reading books in the pre-YouTube era. Over time, he invested in tools and equipment, converting each paycheck into a step closer to building a livable home for his family. After completing his service in the military in 1990, Maurice obtained his Florida certified builder contractor’s license and launched a construction business that would thrive for the next 30 years.

He credits much of his success to the discipline, leadership, and problem-solving skills he developed as a Special Operations PJ. These attributes, combined with his extensive knowledge helped him build over 100 custom homes between 1990 to 2007 and establish himself as an elite custom home builder. His first model home, built in 1997 won the prestigious Aurora Award for the best home under $1 million in the Southeast, presented by the Southeast Builders Conference (SEBC). In addition, the company received multiple Parade of Homes awards for consecutive years.

Since 2012, Maurice has focused his efforts on building a successful, highly-respected business to include water-intrusion and remediation, renovations and new homes with a strong foundation of loyal clients. Maurice and his team are guided by core principles: honesty, integrity, and excellence. Regardless of the size or complexity of the project, Tier 1 Custom Builders is committed to delivering consistent quality and superior service for every client.
