I was starting to believe that there were no honest contractors left within the State of Florida that they had all been extinct like the Dinosaurs and the only contractors left were the dishonest Cockroaches. But pleasantly I found, which I believe to be the only honest one that is left in the State or at least in Central Florida. He seems to be the only one that really cares about doing things the right way, i.e. build by the book without cutting corners, finding the best and the lowest priced subcontractors, moving things along without delays and making sure that everyone on the job cooperates. In addition to this I can honestly say that his manners are courteous and professional. I do not expect to ever hear from him the words that one of his predecessor on this job said to me, when I pointed out to him that when he was asking for a change order, which was already in the contract: “ You f……, s… I will get you for this”. After spending four years building a 1.175 Sq. Ft. heated home and being on the third contractor and finally finding an honest and hard working one, surrounded by honest and hard working subcontractors, I feel that I have to let everyone know, THAT THERE IS HOPE OUT THERE! This is why I am listing his company’s name, the subcontractor’s names and their contact numbers: Atlantic Development Corporation, Jeffrey Lantz, tel: 407-328-0123 Optimal Electric, Inc., Gary J. Monsees, tel: 407-323-0377 Direct Plumbing Solutions, Inc. John Ashworth, tel: 407-221-1249 Anthony’s Wallpaper and Painting, Anthony Biskner, tel: 407-221-4257 I want all to know that no one asked me to write this blog, but I am getting tired of all the publicity that the bad guys get in the media so I wanted to let you know about the good guys. Wouldn’t it be nice if the media would report about the honest hard working people that are out there instead of always talking about the negative ones in the news?

It is unfortunate that some people always try to make money of other people hardship. HUD and the U.S. government are franticly trying to stop these practices and guide people in the right direction. This is why HUD has opened a page on their website which helps homeowners and guides them to HUD approved nonprofit counselors. This is a part of Presidents Obama Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan (HASP), and has the purpose of helping you to get real results and avoid scrupulous scammers. Here is a link to HUD's website.

The U.S. Treasury Department has also opened a website to assist and guide people that need to modify their mortgages and or refinance their homes. You don't have to be late on your mortgage to qualify for this program which is called Making Home Affordable. They have also opened a telephone hotline: (888) 995-4673 and the website is: www.makinghomeaffordable.gov . These websites have a lot of information and explain to homeowners how the system works and guides them in a safe way in the right direction. If your mortgage is a burden to you, I urge you to check out these websites and wish you the best.
