Recommendation 1
 
Dear Joe,
We spent three years searching for just the right spot for our retirement home. We visited many builders before we decided that International was the best choice to help us complete our dream home. We mention this, because the choice was exceedingly important and not to be made without research and many considerations. You built a home for us in 1984, and the company that would build our new home would have to meet and if possible exceed these standards. It was a bit like coming home, and a pleasure to see so many familiar faces still hard at work. We knew what to expect in many instances, but we had a great deal to learn about new materials and products and we were astounded by the sheer number of choices that we had to make. We were very pleased to see the many new changes in the company, especially the division of responsibilities that reflected the growth of the business, and to meet the new personnel.
We appreciate the long hours spent in the planning stages of designing ideas and dreams into a workable plan . A special thank you to you, Joe, for the advice and direction, and to Louis Szilvagyi for his architectural expertise, especially the roof design which is so pleasing to the form, beauty, and style of the house, It is the reason that no matter what angle we view our home, we find it artistically pleasing. Thank you both for your patience and guidance through these initial steps.
There are so many people who deserve recognition for the outstanding work that they did. One common theme we witnessed is that all the people worked hard, all knew what they were doing, had the latest tools to do an expert job, and had pride in the work that they were doing. To see the growth of a home day-by-day is an awesome experience. As we look back over our notes, we can visualize each step again. We appreciate the very personal care that you and all your staff dedicated to building our home.
We have lived in our home for seven months. We have received many compliments on the design, the quality of workmanship and building materials employed by International. We are very appreciative of the advice you gave us on this project. If we had to do this all over again, we would build the same design with International.
We have enclosed some pictures that might help a future homeowner. You may use us as a reference and we invite you to bring clients to see our homes.
We are pleased that you shared this wonderful experience with us!!!  THANK YOU ALL.
Sincerely,
Ron and Marilyn D.
