A Fort Lauderdale native, Rick Pfendler started his career in home construction following his Marine Corps duty in Vietnam. He began in construction as a laborer and quickly rose up the ranks. Rick’s resolute passion for perfection is evident throughout the entire home-building process, year after year. His honesty and integrity are deeply inbred and unyielding. He says what he means and never “over sells” or promises what he can’t deliver. Rick Pfendler, an industry veteran with more than four decades of experience, has stood at the helm of National Custom Homes and operated the company on his own since its beginning. Today, Rick continues his leadership role alongside his son Scott, who joined him in business in 2002.

Scott continues to be guided by the man and mentor he calls “the best of the best.” Like his father had done decades ago, Scott worked his way from the ground up, garnering home-building proficiency out in the field. Scott graduated from Cornell University in 1994 with a degree in Business Management. He went on to work for J.P. Morgan in New York City before joining the family business. Also, like his father, Scott approaches each home they build as if it were their own. They share the desire for always doing what is right and putting the customer first. Scott, too, is in this business for the long run.
