Thank you Get The Coast!

LOCAL HOMEBUILDER: When Thomas Watkins retired from Winn-Dixie in 2003 after a 24-year career, he approached a young man he’d watched grow up in the grocery business about joining a construction venture.

Nathan Harris, who had started at the store at age 16, initially said no.

Twenty-one years later, Harris has obtained his contractor’s license and launched Aroha Builders, carrying forward the values and team that made Watree Construction a trusted name among Okaloosa County military families.

His mentors, Watkins and co-founder Brent Acree, aren’t just stepping aside — they’re championing the transition.

“People say, man, where’d you get him from?” Watkins said of Harris and his wife Chimera, who serves as office manager. “He’s got the field knowledge, he’s got the business knowledge — he’s the complete package. It took two of us, me and Brent, to do it, and Nathan and Chimera are doing it by themselves.”

For buyers considering new construction, Watkins and Acree want one thing understood: the team delivering Aroha homes is the same team that built Watree’s reputation.
