Maybe they make good buildings, but their construction crews illegally block streets, aren’t certified for some of the work they do, and generally are unprofessional when interacting with the community. I wouldn’t choose a construction company that’s going to give you a brand new building and an angry mob of neighbors who have a negative opinion of your business before it even opens its doors.

I wouldn’t choose a construction company that’s going to give you a brand new building and an angry mob of neighbors who have a negative opinion of your business before it even opens its doors. Maybe crews working elsewhere are better, but the crew in Winter Garden needs some serious help rehabilitating its professionalism and respect.

Whoever works for you and lives in Saint Cloud down wayleys landing needs to learn how to drive. That yield sign is not a suggestion for cutting across traffic that has a green light.

Whoever is driving the F150 with tag 713BAU needs to be looked into. 6:45AM and they're swerving all over I4 doing 20 over the speed limit, rapidly changing lanes with no signal and cutting people off. Way to show a brand image
