Hasn't paid final balance for over a year with multiple excuses. Claims of unprofessional installation, poor quality work all the while it's been over a year. Bob Lyles will claim the floor is not level, however overlooks the simple fact Carl is the project manager who mandated we " just get it done". We brought it to their attention the plumbing flange, electrical floor J-boxes, oak sills and slot drain in the shower - we all at different levels and this is a problems. As of today January 08, 2020 they still haven't paid their bill... Any suggestions ? **Comment from RCL Development:** > Sorry you feel this way. Please know that our reputation is very important to us and very rarely do we receive negative feedback. However, in our experience working with you as a subcontractor, we felt is was necessary to cut our relationship short due to quality control issues. If you have any further questions or concerns please contact our office directly so we are able to better address them. We wish you the best of luck in the future. **★★★★★ — melissamiller6717, Nov. 2016** > The architects at RCL Development were really able grasp an understanding of what we wanted our project to look like. **★★★★★ — Lacorte Enterprises, Inc, Feb. 2016** > Over the last 10 years we have had the good fortune to collaborate with RCL Development on several high-end homes in Vero Beach. Bob and his staff are highly professional and a true pleasure to work with. The attention to detail shown company-wide is exquisite and unparalleled. RCL Development maintains exceptionally clean and safe worksites; and in turn, builds beautiful homes that exemplify quality, durability, strength, and solidity. We very much look forward to working with RCL Development in creating many more superb homes in our community. **★★★★★ — C.S.H, Dec. 2015** > We could not be happier with the end result on our renovation project. Working with RCL - especially our wonderful project manager, Geno - was a great experience. Business was conducted in a professional yet personable manner. It was a real treat to be able to trust our contractor so totally to deliver a quality product. We love our home...and isn't that what's it all about? Thanks, RCL. **★★★★★ — jchcjs1942, Sept. 2014** > RCL development has completed 4 residences for me over a period of 15 years. I have been both architect and owner of the residences. I think the entire firm is a group of seasoned professionals dedicated to delivering excellent customer service, comprehensive project management and thorough attention to detail - producing the highest quality in residential construction. They work early with the owner, architect and other professionals to insure that the collaborative process necessary to produce an on time, on budget, successful project is achieved. RCL would be my only recommendation for a General Contractor in the Vero Beach area. **★★★★★ — L K DeFrances & Associates, Sept. 2014** > I have had the good fortune of working with Bob Lyles and RCL Development over many years and on many fine projects. As a design professional, I always appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Bob and his staff whenever possible because they are equally committed to good design and conduct their affairs with high ethical practices. Acting on the client's behalf, I have always felt that RCL is interested and respectful in clarifying what the vision and design goals are for the project. With deadlines, budgets and emotions involved in construction projects, RCL has proven to me they have the knowledge, experience and patience to work through projects to the client's best interest. **★★★★★ — amywlsn, Sept. 2014** > RCL delivers top service. We were thrilled with our renovation. It was on budget and on time. They billed clearly, fairly, and promptly. Geno was our foreman and we recommend him and all of RCL's sub contractors most highly as well. Go with the best. **★★★★★ — sr108kr, Sept. 2014** > My wife and I hired RCL for a large renovation/addition project after considering and getting proposals from 3 other contractors. RCL did an A+ professional job in every way: Quality of work, Ability to Communicate (and Listen!), Supervisory skills, timeliness of work completion, Attention to budget were all excellent. > I would definitely use them again and again > > Here is a link to an article (with pictures) of the renovation in a local design magazine > > http://www.verohomelifeanddesign.com/articles/ethereal-elegance/\#.VAZhzEuZyxE ## Selected projects - [Windsor Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windsor-estate-pj-vj~2239885) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 16 - [Estate with a View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/estate-with-a-view-pj-vj~2239833) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 13 - [Renovation in Vero Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/renovation-in-vero-beach-pj-vj~1804198) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 22 - [Renovation of Golf Cottage in Windsor with a Modern Twist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/renovation-of-golf-cottage-in-windsor-with-a-modern-twist-pj-vj~1175781) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 4 - [Extensive Renovation to Golf Course Estate in Windsor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/extensive-renovation-to-golf-course-estate-in-windsor-pj-vj~1175806) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 18 - [New Home in Windsor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-home-in-windsor-pj-vj~1177079) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 24 - [10705 Charleston](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/10705-charleston-pj-vj~1177071) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 28 - [Panhandle Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/panhandle-estate-pj-vj~2264470) - Location: Santa Rosa Beach, FL - Photos: 13 - [RCL Portfolio - Newest projects!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rcl-portfolio-newest-projects-pj-vj~623265) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 9 - [Windsor: Renovation with Modern Approach and Finishes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windsor-renovation-with-modern-approach-and-finishes-pj-vj~927788) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 4 - [Community of Windsor, Custom Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/community-of-windsor-custom-renovation-pj-vj~928775) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 18 - [Portfolio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portfolio-pj-vj~934958) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 64 - [Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-pj-vj~927759) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 23 - [Vero Beach Coastal Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vero-beach-coastal-makeover-pj-vj~5839462) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 20 - [Wittington Estates Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wittington-estates-renovation-pj-vj~5839473) - Location: Vero Beach, FL - Photos: 10 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/rcl-development-pfvwus-pf~1040834240) ## Community Q&A **Q: Who makes the windows and doors?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: MQ Windows and Doors **Q: What is the roofing material?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is a blue ribbon perfection cedar shingle **Q: Can you please tell me what's the countertop..** *(in Photo Questions)* Very nice. A: The hood was framed to that shape and then we applied a venetian plaster to the exterior to accomplish the finish that is currently in place. There is an insert within this hood itself to exhaust the air from cooking, etc. **Q: Can you tell me how wide the vanity mirror is?** *(in Photo Questions)* I'm debating on cutting into a mirror to put sconces/lights or getting a mirror that doesn't require me to do that. Any help you can provide would be great. Or even tell me how wide the vanity/sink area is? A: Mirrors were 26" wide by 49" tall. Vanity width was 52 1/2". Hope this helps. Bob **Q: What material is used for the flooring? thank you.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is a man made product manufactured from a company called Herple out of West Palm Beach. This particular stone is referred to as an "acid wash herpel". Bob **Q: Love those lights.** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you please tell me who makes them? A: Unfortunately I do not know the manufacturer for these globes. They were provided directly by the Interior Designer out of New York with whom our clients engaged directly for this project. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
