Scopello Condominiums | Indian Rocks Beach, FL
We own seven homes and currently have two more projects under construction. We were able to accomplish such large scale design changes via fax and phone. As you know, we had many, many incorrect ‘change-out’ orders until you sorted it all out. I know it must seem odd to have someone thank you for pointing out that we owed over $2,000 more for our upgrades, but we appreciate that attention to detail. Such professionalism is rare nowadays.
