Testimonials

John and Cathy Canto:

Having had a State Class A General Contractor's License in the State of Florida, growing up in the construction industry with my family, and having built 3 offices and completely remodeled 2 homes, I have dealt with a very wide variety of construction personnel and contractors, and thus have a good base of knowledge upon which to evaluate contractors. 

I have never dealth with a more professional, cordial, and accommodating construction organization than the Oliveras.  From the ladies in the office, to the field superintendents, as well as the Olivera Family, they were all great.  In addition, all of the subs were of the same character which made my experience one I had never enjoyed before, but certainly did this time.  The quality of their work matched the enjoyability of the experience.

I would highly recommend the use of this family-owned business to build any project.  As for myself, I am in the process of preparing to build another office building for lease, and my first choice will be Olivera Construction, Inc. 

It's easy to describe my experience with Olivera Construction -- they're trustworthy, knowledgeable and responsive construction professionals.

Mike Hamic:

I only wanted the best builder to build my dream home. Having sold so many homes in Lakeland, I was aware of all the builders and could pick an Olivera Construction home out of the crowd because of the design and quality of their homes. Naturally, I called Olivera Construction, Inc. Their patience and ideas were most appreciated and my new home is better than anticipated. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I truly believe Olivera Construction, Inc. is the #1 Builder in Lakeland.

Roy and Iris Kasmar:

Phillip and his company are as good as it gets.  I have built 4 custom homes, and the process and attention to detail was absolutely the best with Olivera Construction.  I would consider building a new home just so I could deal with Phillip and his staff again.  You will enjoy the process and receive a great product.

Building a house is a lot more stressful than it appears.  However, we were expertly guided by Olivera Construction and finished with the home of our dreams.  During the course of construction, we made some major construction changes, as well as a host of minor alterations, but nothing was too much trouble.  Follow-up, even after we moved in, has been second to none in the industry.  Overall, we are extremely happy with our new home and would wholly recommend Olivera Construction to others looking to build.

We built our home with Olivera a little over two years ago.  It was our first experience building a home, and from the moment we started working on the plan, we felt completely comfortable.  Phillip patiently worked with us through many revisions to our plan until we got it just right.  Once construction began, we were guided through the process by professional and caring members of the Olivera team.  This company is committed to the satisfaction of their customers and has gone over and above for us to make sure that our home is everything that we dreamed it would be.  Our next home will be built by Olivera.  We highly recommend them to anyone who values quality and true customer service that is uncommon today.

Olivera Construction built our home in 2005.  We have built four homes, and by far our experience with Olivera has been the best.

Donnie, now their foreman, framed our house prior to becoming a full-time employee of Olivera.  He does a fantastic job.  Alex and Donnie were always very, very helpful in assisting us with decision making.  What also separates them from other builders is their commitment to resolve any issues that arise during construction.  You will be simply amazed at how they stand behind their product after you move in, and several years after.  If you have any issues, they will resolve them.

Based on that, we are very, very satisfied, and would not consider building a home with anyone else!!!

What started as a conversation about building a new home, resulted in a lasting friendship when our project was complete.  Our experience with Phillip Olivera and Alex Stangl has been outstanding.  From beginning to finish they made us feel that their primary objective was to make sure we were completely satisfied with our home and proud of it.  Their objective was accomplished!

Without any prompting, friends and visitors often tell us that we have a beautiful home.  They are impressed with the quality work, attention to detail, the features, and the warm feeling it generates.

Their service after the completion of our home has been outstanding.  They have gone the "extra mile" to be sure our home continues to meet or exceed our expectations.

We have and will continue to recommend Olivera Construction to anyone who is interested in building a quality fashoinable home to meet their needs.

We have had three houses built in Florida since moving here 12 years ago, and the Olivera Construction experience was by far the most pleasant, from design to closing and beyond.  Phillip worked with us to design our home to our exact specifications, and all of the usual issues that occur during home building were promptly taken care of, even those that occurred after we moved in. 

Phillip, Phil and Donald were very responsive and helpful every step of the way.  In addition, Olivera Construction allowed us to choose our own landscaper and HVAC system installer, and worked with them to ensure coordination with other contractors.

The quality of workmanship, especially trim carpentry, tile installation, and cabinetry is outstanding.

All in all, we would recommend Olivera Construction to anyone looking for a beautiful home and good building experience.

Do we recommend Olivera Construction?  You bet we do!                                                    Chances are without Olivera Construction, we wouldn't be enjoying our new lake-front home today.  Our project presented many issues, from beginning to end, and each time Alex, Phillip Sr., Donald, and the rest of the Olivera Team contacted the appropriate agency and walked us through each problem.

We had issues with the original developer, involving sewer permitting, muck underneath our site and a final construction deadline that left Olivera Construction just five months to complete building.  But they did it, and we are very grateful to the whole family.

We took our lot layout to Phillip Olivera, looked through the many home designs they had available, and with Phillip's help, we added the changes we needed to fit our needs.  They have an in-house decorating service with a wide variety of options for flooring, trim, and paint needs.

The subcontractors were of the highest quality, and I can't say how many times I heard from them that Olivera Construction will accept only their best work.

Would we use Olivera Construction again?  Yes, without a second thought.                                Thanks again to all the Olivera Construction Family and Staff.

We engaged Olivera Construction to build a home that I had initially designed with a home computer program.  Amazingly, they were able to take these plans and make them into a wonderful reality.  Their attention to quality, deadlines, budgets, and continuous liaison with the customer made them and the home construction process a joy rather than a harassment, as seems to often be the case.  We were completely satisfied with the final result.  The Oliveras are so consious of keeping the customer completely satisfied that they even had their subconstractors repair a couple of things that needed attention well over a year after we had taken occupancy of the home.  We merely called to get a name suggestion from them, and their response was, "Let us just take care of that for you," which they did within 24 hours at no charge!  We enthusiastically give them our highest recommendation!
