Favorite Quote-
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
30th Us President
Favorite Person –
My favorite person is James Madison, our fourth president and one of our founding fathers. Famous for drafting our constitution and the bill of rights. He also famously oversaw the Louisiana purchase, the greatest real estate deal in the history of the world!
Proudest Accomplish –
My proudest accomplishment is my wonderful three boys! Watching them grow up and being a positive role model in their lives gives me the greatest joy!

My favorite architectural style is Mediterranean. I appreciate the extra details on the exterior, and I like the style because a lot of the details are very functional here in Florida!

My favorite hobby is big game fishing. Marlin, blue or white, really any billfish!

“Most important of all, to be successful in life demands that a man make a personal commitment to excellence and to victory, even though the ultimate victory can never be completely won. Yet that victory might be pursued and wooed with every fiber of our body, with every bit of our might and all our effort. And each week, there is a new encounter; each day, there is a new challenge.” –Vince Lombardi

Steven Kuharske's Bio
Steven has been building since 1998. Over the years, he has built numerous houses, townhomes, apartments, commercial buildings, and commercial build-outs. One thing he loves about his job, is the ability to learn something new every day. "If you’re not learning as you go, then you’re not doing anything. Every job is different. You can build the same house twenty times and each will have its own problem. Weather, material, lot, deliveries, you name it. We just adapt and overcome!"
