Choose the builder
your neighbors keep naming

You have a lot of choices when it comes to picking a contractor in the Keys, and the list grows every week. Before you sign anything: get three bids, check the Florida DBPR for licensing and complaints, and ask your neighbors who they have actually trusted on a job.

We're confident our name will be at the top of that list. For your protection and ours, we carry twice the liability insurance Florida requires, written through Regan Insurance.

We take the stress off
so you enjoy the process

Fifty years on construction sites means we've run the high-pressure jobs already. We take the stress of design, permitting, scheduling, and building off you.

Stay as involved as you want. Out of state? We send video updates. Either way you hear from us early and often, with no surprise calls about something we should have flagged a week ago.

We want you happy in your home, not stuck in meetings about it. If you're anything like us, you'd rather be on the water. Let us handle the build so you can.

Sammy & Patty Sparks

Patty and Sammy Sparks

Sammy has built everything: restorations, additions, residential, commercial, new construction. He's a master craftsman with an eye for detail and a no-nonsense way of doing business.

Skilled carpenter and foreman by 18. On commercial high-rises by 21. Commercial superintendent by 25. Commercial project manager by 33. In 1993 he moved to Homestead, FL to rebuild 13 National Park Service buildings after Hurricane Andrew, then settled in Key Largo. Historical preservation has been a specialty ever since.

Patty served in the US Air Force in public affairs, trained as a military photojournalist at DINFOS, and sang with the 8th Air Force Band. She brings 20 years of HR experience and a stint as a legislative aide for the State of Florida.

Sammy worked alongside Hotel Impossible host Anthony Melchiorri and designer Leslie Segrete on the Creekside Inn renovation in Islamorada. The Travel Channel episode reached 100 million homes.
