LETTERS OF REFERENCE
“I first met Chris Bracken when he was working on a carport enclosure on a house across the street from mine. At that time, I was impressed with the quality of the work he was doing, as well as his dedication to this relatively small project. When I decided to undertake a major project of my own in terms of building an extension to my property and significant upgrading of my master bath and bedroom, I asked Chris to work with me on the project. That collaboration worked extremely well, with significant input and advice and counsel from Chris. I was away whilst most of the work was done and his ability to keep me informed of progress with emailed pictures and telephone communications was excellent. Also, his ability to stay on budget was excellent. Since that first major project together, Chris has replaced all the windows in my house with hurricane proof windows. The major part of that job, which entailed a re-building job on most of the back exterior wall on the house was also done whilst I was away, with the same excellent results.
I would highly recommend Chris Bracken to anyone who wishes to have a partnership with a contractor who is going to put "heart and soul" into the job he undertakes on your behalf.”

“I am writing this letter in support of Chris Bracken.
My wife, Cindy, and I worked with Chris to build our home in Naples, FL. We were never so pleased with any construction project in our lives!
Chris kept to his promised schedule, completing everything on time and coming in on budget. Not only was Chris always trustworthy, competent, and punctual, but he was also very easy to work with. More importantly, the quality of his workmanship was everything we wanted it to be and more!
It was a total pleasure working with Chris, and we wholeheartedly and highly recommend him for any projects for which he is being considered.”
Sincerely,
Ned L.

“My wife and I own the Florida style home located at 1551 Gulf Shore Boulevard South in Naples, Florida. Today, with the multiple changes made to the exterior of the home, it is a much photographed house and attracts many verbal compliments about its style and appearance.
Approximately six years ago, we completely removed all of the original porch stairs, steps, porch decks and railings (both front and back). We redesigned a single main entry on the front into two lateral stairways and many other design and quality changes to the outside of the house. This project required the complete removal of all outside porch surfaces, including modification of all swimming pool surfaces. It included all new surface tile (travertine), the removal of the existing driveway, installation of 18” lower driveway with a concrete base, and the installation of a loose laid Turkish stone surface. Exclusive of all new landscape materials, the project amounted to approximately $750,000.
Chris Bracken was the Project Manager for this complex renovation. It was a pleasure to work with him. He was very understanding not only of our wishes but understood the proper methods to obtain the best results. We have been involved in building several new houses, and we can easily say that Chris was one of the best project managers we have ever worked with. His sensitivity to cost controls and his coordination of sub-contractors were excellent! We were extremely pleased with the conclusion of the project which in the end had no remaining open issues. If we were to undertake another building project in the Naples area, we most certainly would consider Chris Bracken as our construction contractor. We can highly recommend Chris as an honest, fair, and highly effective individual for construction and home building projects.
With a telephone request from Chris, we will accept phone calls to answer time-limited and specific questions relative to our experience with Mr. Bracken.”
Sincerely,
Al M.

“When my pool screen blew away during a storm, I decided to make the changes necessary to be without. It involved a lot of planning, estimating, and performance. Although the plan had been put together by my landscaper, I want you to know that James Bracken did all of the work involved.
He was very professional and completed the whole thing according to plan. I was very pleased with his performance and would recommend him to anyone.”
Sincerely,
Glen from Marco Island
