“Brooks & Freund is a ‘can-do’ contractor. Over many years working with Don Brooks and Richard Freund, thanks to their knowledgeable staff and excellent communication, our projects with Brooks & Freund have always been a great experience for us and our clients.”

Michael K. Sheeley, AIA, President of Sheeley Architects

“I can’t say enough about Brooks & Freund – they’re tops in the field. They don’t know how to say 'We can’t do it.' Everything is backed up with service, and they’re hands-on 100 percent. They have a solid reputation among everybody they’ve worked with.”

Jerry Snyderman, owner, Snyderman Shoes and Sasse’s Italian Restaurant

“We have a very good relationship with Don Brooks and Richard Freund. They’ve done a number of projects for us and have been very consistent. The quality of their work is beyond what we expect, and they get the projects done on time and within budget. On one of our projects, they helped us make changes that reduced the cost significantly, which allowed us to lower the price to home buyers and make the project a success.”

Vincenzo Lombardi, partner, KC2 Investments, TKC Investments and Acapulco Investments, builders of several condominium projects in Punta Gorda.

“From top to bottom Brooks & Freund is a first-class organization. The partners, the senior management and the project managers are straight-up men and women who do good work, are accessible, and provide quality construction. No matter how busy they are, they take your call. And they’re proactive – they have an experienced group of people who effectively provide solutions. The company has grown rapidly in the last few years, and yet all of their clients – whether their projects are large or small – have equal value.”

Max Kamhi, partner, Orbis Properties, LLC, developer of New Brittany Corporate Center, Fort Myers Avenue Shops and two buildings in the Colonial Executive Park

“Working with Brooks & Freund was a very positive experience. They stepped up when the need was there to meet challenges along the way, and they brought the building in on time and within the budget we laid out.”

Hal Tate, president, Reliance Bank

“When we started the bank and acquired the first office it was in dire need of renovation. We knew we wanted Don Brooks to do it because he would be honest and fair and give us the best quality and price. He was a small company then, but because of his character, integrity, fairness and honesty, he has grown into a large organization. And he has assembled a team of professionals with those same qualities. Today, we finance some of the projects where Brooks & Freund is the contractor, and the clients always tell us their experience with them was awesome, and they would definitely use them again.”

Robbie Roepstorff, president, Edison National Bank

“They did such a great job on our first project that we brought them in for the next two. They’re a very professional organization and they do a quality job.  We have a lot of trust in them, and our teams have a great working relationship.”

Bob Imig, president, Stock Development

“They’ve been building projects for our clients for many years, and they are now building a new bank for us. They’re extremely professional – a very organized and on-time builder. Our clients repeatedly tell us how pleased they are to be working with Brooks & Freund.”
