FRC: Building on Reputation

Florida Residential Communities has been a leader in the homebuilding industry in Central Florida since 1975. Even through the economic ups and downs of the past 30 years, FRC has earned recognition as one of the most innovative residential builders, developers, and remodelers in the country. The company’s resiliency and reliability has helped them build a solid reputation for excellence. The company stands by their work and has the financial strength to honor its commitments for years to come.

FRC creates total living environments that are tailored to the customer’s needs. They can design and build a new custom home on your lot or theirs, or remodel your existing home using only skilled craftsmen and quality materials. In addition to a one-year warranty, FRC provides a third-party 10-year structural warranty on newly constructed homes. FRC is also a permitting expert, navigating the process to make sure the design conforms to today’s stringent building codes, local restrictions and complex homeowner-association rules.

Is now the right time to build or remodel, given the econ-omy? “Now is a great time to build,” says Mark Bines, FRC president. “Labor and material costs are much lower than at the height of the building boom in 2005.” Another factor: the rebates (up to $1,500 total) that are available through the federal government for “going green.” For example, rebates are available for replacing windows in an existing primary residence, installing electric heat pumps, low-volume faucet heads, and dual-flush toilets. Other tax credits are available at 30% of the cost with no limit through 2016 for existing homes and new construction. (Visit energystar.gov for details.)

FRC’s quality and creativity can be found all over Central Florida, from Lake Nona, Windermere and Winter Garden, to Heathrow, Tuscawilla and several communities in west Volusia County.

Visit their newest community The Enclave, located in historic DeLand. The Enclave is an exclusive collection of luxurious manor estates with European-inspired architecture. All homes feature a true side-entry, three-car garage, paver drive and walkways, and tile roof. FRC will showcase its latest work, Villa Bellaria, at The Enclave during the Volusia County Parade of Homes on April 17-25. The Tuscan-themed Villa Bellaria is 2,200+ sq. ft. featuring decorative trey ceilings, spacious gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, an al fresco courtyard off the formal dining room, plus a porch and lanai . . . all for under $300,000.

Each FRC home is constructed as carefully as it is designed. With more than 5,000 satisfied Central Florida homeowners in more than 35 communities, FRC has earned the trust of their buyers and a reputation that continues to build.
