Morgan Speranzo Hoda
Building homes has always felt like a natural path for
Morgan Speranzo Hoda.
Raised in a family with more than 30 years in the
construction industry, Hoda followed that legacy
while earning her contractor’s license, a milestone she
describes as one of the proudest moments of her career.
“I opened it and just stared at the certificate,” she said.
“I worked so hard for this, and it was finally here.”
Today, as owner of Coastal Homes LLC, Hoda enjoys
helping families bring their dream homes to life. Seeing
a finished project and the excitement on a homeowner’s
face as they step inside for the first time remains her
favorite part of the job. This year marks another
milestone as Coastal Homes builds its first custom spec
home in Florence Gardens.
Outside of construction, Hoda has a passion for speed
and is a licensed NHRA drag racer, proving she’s just as
comfortable at the racetrack as she is on a job site. She
also has a lifelong love of Disney and hopes that one day
a client will ask her to build a home filled with hidden
Mickeys.
Her advice to other women pursuing their dreams is
simple—have the courage to chase them.
