Our Story


Bill on Porch

Bill Petkoski brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to The Cottage Home Company

We began The Cottage Home Company with a burning desire to create a different kind of Homebuilding Company, one that was based on a real passion for good design and focused on how families really live in their homes today. Our goal was neither to be the biggest builder, nor to brag about how many closings we had per year. Instead, our goal was real simple – “Create beautiful, inspiring places for families to live, places we could be proud to call Cottage Homes.”  This simple goal drives our intense passion every single day.

 

The Cottage Home Company prides itself on the principle of “right sized design.”  Whether it is a 1700 square foot Cottage or a 3800 square foot Custom Home, every square foot in our designs has a purpose in how our clients live.  Gone are the days of wasted space or rooms we don’t actually ever use.  We simply can’t afford the waste any longer. Our customers are embracing this new movement.

 

Bill Petkoski (Founder) spent over 17 years with large residential building companies and community developers before starting his company.  Most recently, he served as Vice President –Operations at The St. Joe Company in Jacksonville, FL.  He has been responsible for the oversight of the building of thousands of homes in the state of Florida.  His intense focus on operations and customer satisfaction has helped communities such as Weston, FL garner numerous awards over the years.  He is a hands-on owner, taking pride in making daily visits to every jobsite and in serving as primary contact for his customers throughout the homebuilding experience.
