The Win Belongs to the Team

Award Winning Homes Are Built by Teams

At the 2026 HBA of Lake Sumter Parade of Homes, Mastrosimone Construction was honored with:

First Place – Luxury Man Cave

First Place – Coastal Farmhouse, $2–2.5 Million Category

Grand Award – Overall Parade of Homes

Awards are meaningful. They recognize vision and execution. But this win did not belong to one person. Or two. Or three. It belonged to a team.

When people walk through one of our homes, they notice the ceilings, the cabinetry, the lighting, the wood details. They see the handcrafted staircase. The teak bench built specifically for that space. The stone climbing the walls. The old brick carefully framing a kitchen that feels like it has been there for generations.

Those elements matter. They are the visible layers of craftsmanship.

But they are only the final layer.

The Strength Beneath the Beauty

Before the finishes, there is the foundation.

The site contractor preparing the land correctly.

The concrete crew ensuring the slab is true.

The block team setting structure with precision.

The framers shaping the bones of the home.

Then come insulation, drywall, plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, roofing, masonry, tile, paint, cabinetry, countertops.

Every trade matters. Every sequence matters. Every measurement matters.

Behind the handcrafted stair is framing done right. Behind the masonry and brick is structural integrity. Behind the cabinetry is drywall that was finished correctly and walls built square. The beauty only works because the structure is sound.

The Partners You Do Not See

Backyard Oasis in progress. Pool Design and Installation by Premier Pool Contractor

Luxury custom homes at the 2 to 20 million dollar level require more than installation crews.

There are vendor partners who prepare detailed estimates and material packages. Teams who measure window openings so everything fits precisely. Suppliers coordinating deliveries so projects stay on track. Painters who transform raw surfaces into finished spaces. Countertop fabricators, cabinet makers, and stone yards who understand that nothing about these homes is standard.

Many of these relationships span decades.

They choose to work with us because we build one of a kind projects for great people. We run organized job sites. We respect their time and talent. In return, they bring their highest level of skill to every build. That mutual respect is what makes complex custom projects possible.

In House Craftsmanship on Top of Solid Ground

Mastrosimone Construction is known for our in house craftsmen. The wood details. The custom pieces. The finishing touches that make each home unmistakably personal.

But those details sit on top of something much larger.

The teak bench rests on floors that were leveled correctly. The reclaimed brick kitchen sits on framing that was measured precisely. The statement staircase depends on engineering and execution beneath it.

Our craftsmen elevate what is already strong.

That is how a home becomes both beautiful and enduring.

Why This Matters to Relocating and Local Buyers

For families relocating to Central Florida from New York, California, and beyond, trust is everything.

You may not be on site every day. You are relying on a builder who surrounds himself with proven partners and holds a high standard across every trade.

For local families building legacy homes in Mount Dora, Tavares, Wildwood, Lady Lake, Eustis, Groveland, and throughout Lake, Sumter, and Marion County, the question is similar.

Who is building something that will still feel solid decades from now?

Awards are appreciated. But consistency is what defines a builder.

Thank You Team. This one is for you.

Every one of those professionals contributed to what was celebrated that night.

True luxury is not surface level. It is structure, systems, craftsmanship, coordination, and pride working together.

We are proud of the awards.

We are even more proud of the team behind them.

Because when you build a home meant to last for generations, it takes partnership.
