Our Home Owners Say
“I have been working with Rich Perrone and Perrone Construction since 1983. His eye for detail, superior quality of construction and the ability to deliver a beautiful home on time and within budget all while keeping the client confident and happy have put Perrone Construction at the top of the list of Sarasota’s luxury custom builders. In addition to the many homes he has built for my clients he has built one home for me personally and remodeled another. I would not hesitate to recommend Perrone Construction.”
