Testimonials

We are in the process of building our home with Sterling Ridge Custom Homes, and we have been very impressed with Dominick, Laura, and their entire team. We feel like we get very personalized attention, and we know that Dominick and Laura are committed to helping us create our dream home for our family. We interviewed other builders, and felt as if the home was the builder’s home that they were building for us, rather than the home being OUR home that has now come to life through the efforts of Sterling Ridge Custom Homes. Dominick and Laura are very down to earth and easy to deal with. We have recommended them several times already to close friends.

We are currently working in various projects with Sterling Ridge and we have enjoyed dealing with the entire team; the professionalism, dedication and above all the way they care about their clients are some of the qualities that make this firm exceptional.

I’ve designed several homes for Dominick and Laura of Sterling Ridge and their clients over the past few years. They have been a joy to work with. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and appreciation for design is rare in today’s market. They have consistently gone above and beyond in their efforts to build quality homes incorporating the details that often are left out by other builders. I enjoy working with them and their team, and look forward to designing and building many more future projects with them.

Sterling Ridge did an outstanding job on our 2009 renovation of our South Tampa home. From the design phase through construction to completion Dominick and Laura and their team were professional , providing quality work while still meeting all deadlines for our kitchen , bath and bonus room renovation. I would strongly recommend them for any new house or an existing home renovation. I look forward to working with them again. We love our Sterling Ridge renovation!

Sterling Ridge is a privately-owned high-end custom home builder. Two years ago they built our Pool House with immaculate precision. We have a pie-shaped lot and we made use of every inch of available space. Our design, by Hittmeier Design Consultants, was a modern take on a Mediterranean style. Our “small addition” was almost 1,500 square feet and included a bathroom/shower, air-conditioned living space and full bar and kitchen with pantry. We now have a backyard paradise we enjoy every single day. Sterling Ridge was on time, on budget and incredibly helpful around every turn. I would highly recommend them for your next home or home addition. We invite anyone to come visit this space as a token of our appreciation to the job they did.

We are so thankful for the chance to build our home with Sterling Ridge. Early on in the building process everyone warned us of the stress and headaches that come with building. Our experience with Sterling Ridge could not have been more opposite. Every step of the way with the Sterling Ridge team was wonderful. Dominick is a true master builder. He is not just a businessman behind a desk talking you into upgrades. He is at the job site every day. Dominick’s attention to detail is one of his greatest strengths. So many builders would try and talk you into an easier or cheaper way, Dominick never compromises ease over quality. Laura Scarpanito works tirelessly on the interior of the home. She is dedicated to making sure your vision for your home becomes a reality. Laura is with you every step of the way to guide your decisions. She listens to every idea and goes above and beyond to make your house a home. Sterling Ridge has the best team of sub contractors in Tampa. Each group of workers on the job site cared as much as Sterling Ridge about the quality of our home. They are eager to answer questions and concerns along the way to make sure the homeowner is happy with the end result. It is common to see crews working on weekends and holidays to get the job done. We are so grateful to Dominick and Laura for holding our hands in the building process. We could not have imagined how smooth and easy building can be when you are with the right people. How many people can say after building a home they have become true friends with their builder? We are happy to call the Scarpinato family dear friends.

From the very beginning of the project, through the final details, Sterling Ridge was exceptional. Their professionalism and attention to detail never wavered. We were able to stick to our budget, because their “standard” is very high quality in both workmanship and appearance. Dominick Scarpinato’s honesty and integrity were refreshing, and he was a pleasure to not only work with, but to get to know well. We would highly recommend Sterling Ridge Builders.

Custom quality home and experience building with Sterling Ridge. Made the home building process an enjoyable one for us as the relationships with the clients are as valued as the product itself.

I’ve worked with Dom and Laura on a beautiful Mediterranean home. They did a fantastic job paying attention to the smallest details of the design. The building was fairly complicated structurally and they pulled it off flawlessly. I would highly recommend Sterling Ridge for your next custom home.

Sterling Ridge built our new home for us and we could not have been happier with the final result!! The design of our home had a lot of specific detail, particularly on the interior trim and tile work. The tradesmen used by Sterling Ridge took pride in their work, were extremely professional and the final product exceeded our expectations. We feel like we could not have had a better building experience. Working with Dominick and Laura Scarpinato was a sincere pleasure. They are honest, dependable and very detail oriented. We highly recommend Sterling Ridge for any building project.

Dominick and Sterling Ridge Custom homes built a beautiful and quality home for our family. From the very beginning designing with the architect to the final stage of hardwood floor refinishing we felt like we were in good hands, We used a plan designed by Dominick and modified it to meet our family’s needs and the result is a unique quality home. Dominick and Laura were with us every step of the way. Dominick’s building expertise and love of woodwork is evident in every stage of the process. We were new in town and unsure where to go for granite, tile, carpeting, appliances, etc. but they were very knowledgeable and recommended great vendors for the various items, often accompanying us to the showrooms to help us choose the right thing. We have recommended Sterling Ridge to many friends and continue to do so because they have only continued to build beautiful custom homes since ours was completed 10 years ago.

My husband and I were dreading the building process because of the horror stories we had heard from friends and family. Dominick and Laura changed all of that. Building with them was like building with family. They listened to what we wanted for our home and did everything in their power to help us achieve it!

Dominick and Laura built our custom dream home in 2014/2015. They were referred to us by a local realtor as the best custom home builder in the area and they did not disappoint! From the beginning, they showed themselves to be genuine, trustworthy, and passionate about building the perfect home. Dominick’s years of experience make him a true expert in the field. Not only were my husband and I happy with his work but we frequently got compliments and words of approval from other sub contractors who worked in the home. Laura worked endlessly to help hand select every finishing detail of the home and help make sure the home building process went as smoothly as possible.

Sterling ridge completed our custom home in 2016. When we initially considered building our dream house, we knew we wanted to use a builder who could be trusted with such an important part of our lives. We wanted to use a company that would put the time and effort as well as attention to detail into our home as they would their own. We can undoubtedly say that this is the hallmark of Sterling ridge custom home builders. Dominick worked tirelessly to create a luxury custom waterfront home to meet all of our needs. We also relied heavily on Laura for interior design choices. They were both a pleasure to work with, and we feel that the houses they build are second to none with regards to luxury homes in the Tampa Bay area.

I would highly recommend Sterling Ridge!! The quality of work is above and beyond!! They treat the house as if it’s their own. They are a builder you can trust which was most important to us. The attention to detail was so appreciated. Would work with them again although probably won’t ever leave this house!! We love it!!!

After living in an older home for a year we knew where the problems were and what needed to change to move things out of the 1960s. We just did not know how. We talked over our list with Dominick and Laura. Their experience and design ideas gave us a house that feels better, is lighter and insulated, and has many updates and upgrades we never would have thought of but they make daily living easier. Dominick worked hard to find the contractors who would give us the quality of work we wanted while keeping an eye on the budget. Working with them was a pleasure and I would do it again.

Rarely will any customer be completely happy with their contractor after completing a home building or other large construction project. Things happen during construction that can often make a customer unhappy or very frustrated. WELL… I am VERY HAPPY with this company. I had Sterling Ridge knock down and rebuild a large custom home several years ago and was extremely happy with the quality of the work and the kindness, honesty and excellence of Dominick Scarpinato. More recently we hired Sterling Ridge to handle a complicated office addition/renovation for a 9000 square foot property. Once again, the work was excellent and I am even more convinced that Dominick Scarpinato and Sterling Ridge are the best builders in Tampa. Lots of contractors make promises but few keep them. This company will not disappoint you. They will complete your project as promised and you will love the quality. And, if for some reason something goes wrong Dominick Scarpinato will make it right. That is the way he does business. I give this company my highest recommendation. And if I ever have a need for their services in the future you can bet I will be using Sterling Ridge.

There is nothing easy about building a new home. The most difficult first step is convincing yourself that the old place that has been home for 38 years had seen its best days. I would not part with the view I had grown to love since I first moved in, so relocation was not an option. Every evening I came home from work and watched a new house across the street being built. I went into the new build occasionally to see what was going on inside. The site was neat and clean and building debris was kept to a minimum. I noticed the Sturdy, straight wood work. I also notice that every midday and evening the contractor was there to inspect the work. I noticed the meticulous framing and concrete work that was being done and decided to approach the architect, Clement Foss to design for me a home with the idea of having Sterling Ridge Properties build my new home. Sterling ridge is owned by Dominick and Laura Scarpinato. They meshed well with the architectural firm of Clement Foss. We proceeded with the building plans and within a few months we were having the old house demolished … I couldn’t watch. In one day it was gone and scooped up. Sterling Ridge took over from there. We had weekly meetings to keep me and Amy appraised of the subcontractor schedule and the utilization of the agreed upon allowances for the building. From “building” start it took approximately 18 months to erect the home. Sterling Ridge brought in specialists to put in the 70 pilings under the foundation. Concrete specialists from New York were brought in to oversee the pouring and curing of the concrete into the foundation and then many times more to encase the tons of steel that went into the first and second floors. The house is concrete and steel from the ground to the roof. The windows were another specialist challenge. The eight seamless main living room windows weighed 850 pounds each and were poured in China. I watched the installation of the windows and I can say that was an engineering masterpiece. All the windows are 145 MPH missile proof since the house is open to the water. The master plan from Clement Foss was masterfully executed by Sterling Ridge and orchestrated in person by Dominick Scarpinato. I could go into greater detail about how difficult this construction was, but in conclusion Sterling Ridge delivered the exact home we specified. We have now been in the home for three months and it is more than we expected. It is beautiful. The view of the water is spectacular and most of all, it is very comfortable!!!!!!! And we are very happy.

Dominick and Laura understand the importance of the architect and the value of good design. They deliver a project superior in class and exquisite detail.

It is hard for people to understand before they begin the process but when you are in the middle of a project and hundreds of thousands of dollars are involved, who do you want watching your back. We picked you guys and thank God everyday that we have you watching our backs.

I have found great enjoyment in working with Dominick Scarpinato and Sterling Ridge Properties in the past. Dominick pays very close attention to detail and truly understands how to bring a vision to fruition. From an architect’s perspective, I have great confidence in his ability to build no matter how complicated the design may be. I look forward to working with Dominick and his company in the near future and also winning more awards together!

Our home building experience with Sterling Ridge Properties has been purely enjoyable. The Scarpinato team combines Dominick’s hard work and attention to detail with Laura’s style and vision making each step of the process relaxed and exciting.

As first time home builders, we have been completely impressed with the work and communication between Sterling Ridge and ourselves. Both Dominick and Laura work hard to provide a personal as well as professional experience and relationship throughout the building process.
