Latitude 26

We would like to comment on the post in regards of being dissatisfied with the Latitude 26 builder.
My husband was a General Contractor who built homes in the Hamptons on long Island.
When we moved here in 2012 we decided not to build ourselves with not knowing codes, contracters etc.
We went to basically every builder in the area including Latitude 26 To find the best builder we could. We are knowledgeable of what to look for. We felt Latitude 26 was the best and felt quite confident that THEY would do an excellent Job.
Latitude 26 builder were totally honest, straight forward and very easy to work with. The budget and time frame of the work done was exactly what was told and written in our contract.
Latitude 26's contractors, who has worked for Ray for years, were a pleasure to have on the work site and did an impicable job.
We had a friend visit us who owns Sea Level Construction who builds Multi Million dollar homes in the Hamptons, long Island.
He inspected the whole house and could not find any mistakes. He was very impressed. So impressed he asked to buy the house from us. But we wouldn't sell it, we love our house.
If anyone has any questions you are welcome to contact us.
Sincerely, The Priscos

None

Approx 4 years ago my husband & I decided we wanted to get out of the busy surfside area..so we went to look at lots out at the NW Cape for privacy and of course we wanted to be on the canal. We looked at several lots belonging to Tommy B. We settled on one on a corner and on spreader canal, then Tommy asked us if we had a builder in mind as we didn't we knew of none. He recommended Ray Scalero of latitude 26 and had nothing but good to say about this builder, so after securing the land we went into lat26 to talk with the Scaleros. Ray sat down with us and he throughly went over the plans with us as to what we wanted in a home. Long story short...we now have the home of our dreams for Ray went above and beyond to meet our expectations and everything in contract he did at the price he quoted to us from the get go. We were excited and couldnt wait to move into our beautiful home!! This was our third new home we have had built so we knew exactly what we wanted and Ray fulfilled our needs! LAT 26 built us the home we thought we could only dream of owning, all was to perfection and we couldn't be happier! Would highly reccomend this builder

Latitude 26 Homebuilders

I would like to disagree with a complaint I saw posted against Latitude 26. We built a custom home with this company nearly 2 years ago and found them to be just the opposite of the way they are characterized in the complaint. Ray is honest to a fault. We experienced no "mistakes" in calculations and were informed about the adequacy of allowances for lighting, flooring etc. If a customer builds a home similar to the Latitude model, the allowances should cover the items specified. If there are upgrades in the customer selections then of course there will be additional charges. As far as sub-contractors, we felt they, for the most part, were competent and experienced and were some of the oldest most well established companies in Cape Coral. The contract is straight forward and self explanatory and I'm sure Ray would have answered any questions or concerns about the contract before signing if requested. We have found Ray's service to be very good, and actually felt he has gone above and beyond in many instances. In terms of how our home turned out, I would put our house up against any in Lee county in terms of quality, appearance and livability. It is especially disappointing to hear someone "bashing" such an honest and competent company. If anyone is planning to choose a builder, we would be happy to talk to them about Latitude 26 and even invite them to look at the house they built for us.

Construction In Cape Coral

This Southwest Florida home builder can't be trusted! He makes "mistakes" in his calculations, always in his favor. If he gets caught he acts disgruntled, irritated and snarly, which is pretty much how he acts all the time AFTER the contract is signed. The contract is a completely other problem. It is loaded with loop holes and double- talk, always in his favor. For example, the lighting budget isn't enough to cover one fixture, leave alone the whole house. There is no budget for fans or garage door openers and the flooring budget wouldn't even cover linoleum. Every time you turn around, Latitude 26 is adding an uncharge. They are difficult to work with so they are forced to hire less experienced sub-contractors. The good ones won't have anything to do with all the drama Latitude 26 creates. They do not stand behind their product and they definitely do not look out for the best interest of their customers. They are all about the money. The service is terrible from the time you put your signature on the line until the one year warranty is up. And good luck trying to get any mistakes cleaned up as they almost never answer their phones or return calls. Unless you have unlimited funds and don't care about how your home turns out, I would run away from this builder FAST!!!! I wish we had!!!!
