Growing City Corp.

We hired Growing City for a full condo remodel, and we could not be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Nihuel, Jocelyn, and their team were professional, organized, trustworthy, and transparent throughout the process. They handled all the necessary forms and permits, and Jocelyn kept us informed with regular updates and progress photos through Buildertrend. The quality of the work was excellent. Although we decided not to add a doorway to expand our view of the Gulf in order to save money, Nihuel liked the idea and completed it for us anyway. We absolutely love it. The team also built a custom dresser for our primary closet and topped it with a spare piece of quartz. It turned out beautifully and was even better than our original plan to buy a dresser for the space. The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget. When Jocelyn asked for a punch list, I had nothing to add. We highly recommend Growing City for any home or condo improvement project. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. They are true professionals who get it right the first time, 5+ Stars!

Growing City exceeded our expectations with the remodeling of our master bathroom and the installation of new floors throughout our home. Nihuel and his team are highly professional and a pleasure to work with. Nihuel’s keen eye for design guided us in defining the scope of our project, and we are extremely satisfied with the decisions we made. From the initial stages to completion, the team was responsive to our needs and maintained constant communication. Monitoring the project was straightforward thanks to Buildertrend, and we eagerly anticipated updates and photos from Jocelyn. This allowed us to track progress week by week, even while we were up north. The quality of work was outstanding, and we are excited to partner with Growing City for future renovation needs. We highly recommend Growing City for anyone seeking renovation or remodeling services.

From ownership to every employee encounter the finest company we have dealt in remodeling. We could not be more pleased and would highly recommend Growing City! Thank you!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Growing City on a project for our condo and cabana, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Their workmanship was impeccable, and their communication throughout the project was consistently clear and professional. The team’s meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality truly set them apart. It was an absolute delight to work with such dedicated and skilled professionals. We highly recommend Growing City for any construction needs—they exceeded our expectations in every way.

We did a complete condo renovation and the Growing City Team did a great job from the design/idea stage through final completion. Their attention to detail and professional experience was very helpful deciding through the different stages of construction. We are very happy in our new home!!!!

Great working with Growing City. Nihuel and Ivo are very professional. High Quality of work and finished project on time.

We had our lanai transformed into a full Florida Room. The guys a Growing City maneuvered the trials and tribulations of Marco’s permitting process like true pros. We spent most of the construction time up north and communicated with them via phone calls, FaceTime, and photos. When we got back to Marco the project had been completed. We were ready with our blue tape to go through the punch list. Never used one piece. The room was beautiful and the quality of work was impeccable. They listened to what we wanted and did as requested. Three minor fixes were done the next day and we are now enjoying the new room. These guys get a double thumbs up in our book. Thanks Growing City!!! Bill and Denise Bailey

I was referred to Growing City by a respected Realtor on Marco Island that I had purchased my condo through. I contracted Growing City to do a complete remodel on the unit. The results were astonishing, completely update the look to what a modern luxury condo on the beach should look like. The Growing City team, Nihuel - Ivo - Jose did a remarkable job with the transformation. I was so pleased with the results, I hired the team again to build some custom closet cabinets in the spare bedroom. If you are looking for the "WOW FACTOR" consider Growing City for your remodeling/building needs.

We hired Growing City to do a complete renovation of our Marco Island condo. After working with Nihuel on design concepts for several months we left for our home in Colorado in May 2019. We made a couple of appliance and buying trips during the summer but did not see the finished product until November, 2019. All we can say is “Wow!” What a beautiful transformation to our outdated condo! The condo looks exactly (only much better!) as Growing City described. Nihuel had made a number of suggestions for improvements to our original design plans and they all added to the making the renovation a stunning success. We are so proud that we own this condo and that we selected Growing City. At one point Nihuel handed off the work on the condo to his brother, Ivo. We found Ivo to be equally competent and his expertise and knowledge is invaluable. But most of all is the way that Nihuel and Ivo treated us as customers. They were extremely courteous and respectful to two clients who were 1,500 miles away during the renovation. Their communication to us as to progress was outstanding. Both of them and Dawn in the office treated us with upmost respect. They are so organized , truthful and trustworthy. We only had good surprises at the end of the project. We unconditionally recommend Growing City to other potential clients for their remodel projects. They will be in the best hands possible.

There would be no other contractor I would use in the Marco, Naples area!!! Nihuel and his team went over and above on the remodel of our condo.Being 1600 miles away and not seeing the project except for the photos that Nihuel and Dawn would send makes it very tough. I will say that if and when you hire Growingcity there is nothing to worry about. The little touches that they do make it over the top. Also, by using the new buildertrend app made things so easy. Dawn was great to work with every time we had a question or concern she would have us an answer In a matter of moments which made things go so smooth.

My wife and I were introduced to Growing City by our Realtor, after we bought a condo on Marco Island. The building was built in 1981, and everything in the condo was original. After checking references and seeing other units that they had renovated, we contracted with Growing City for a total renovation. The experience was really excellent. The design ideas, the quality of the work, their dependability, and their flexibility were truly terrific. We incorporated some unique ideas, and they were very open to whatever we wanted. They finished on time, as promised. Dawn, the Office Manager, was great. It is nice to have a competent person in the office, given that the owners were typically on location at a project. We were not in Florida during the construction, but made a few trips mid project. At each visit, they were open to any changes that we wanted. They took total responsibility for the project, never shirking. When we noticed that an appliance had a dent, they simply said "we will replace it". There was no attempt to blame the delivery company, or the appliance store installer. If we had to do it over again, it would definitely be with Growing City1

Great work and great customer service - it was a small job on my lanai but I was very happy with the work, responsiveness, & professionalism.

The quality of work replacing one bedroom wall in my condo by Growing City was poor. I picked their bid, the highest of three, to ensure quality work. In my opinion, the workers that were assigned the job were not skilled at finish work and they did not have tools to do a quality job. They borrowed my claw hammer and opened a can of paint with it. They used what looked like a $0.47 Harbor Freight paint brush to trim and their orange peel on the drywall matched poorly. The contractor assured me they could complete the work in five days. On the sixth day, they worked a couple of hours and said they couldn't come back until the next day. I repainted the trim on the sixth day and had to beg them to return and help me move the bed back against the wall. I asked the the contractor how this job compared to the one in their photos and he replied "it looks like a rushed job". It wasn't a rushed job. They took eight days to start the job after the permit was issued. They had six days working in the condo and wanted more. A drywall finisher would have done the job correctly the first time, and a professional painter would have done the job correctly the first time also. I didn't pay $43.00 per square foot to hear that this was a rush job and how can they make it right.

Excellent work. This is an extremely well run company. The quality of their work is top-drawer. I would use them again with ho hesitation.

The company performed quality work in a professional and timely manner. Further, it was always available to meet with me and address my questions.

Beautifully executed the renovation on schedule and on budget. The quality of work was exceptional. Also found their responsiveness to be timely.

It's difficult to do a major remodeling project long distance, but working with Nihuel Martinovic made this process easy for us. Growing City did a complete redesign renovation of our 2 bedroom condo. (Approx. 1900 sq ft) Nihuel was very attentive to detail and incredibly responsive. Aside from a major hurricane in the middle of our renovation, everything went smoothly. Growing City far exceeded all of our expectations and we would definitely use them if we were to have any additional renovation needs. They really were full service, from assisting us in emptying the condo, creating the design, to following through in making it exactly as we wanted it. Nihuel was very quick to respond to our phone calls and emails. Dawn (office manager) was very attentive to any of our requests. They made this as easy as possible for us. We would highly recommend Growing City.

Nihuel & ivo, were the conssumate professionals! They spent time determwhat we wanted and were very clear as to their strengths and where they were not comfortable. They build with a good eye for design and functionality. They stuck to their timelines and budget. We look forward to another project with them. Greg & Linda McKenna

I have been involved in both large and small construction projects over many years. This family owned and operated local construction company went beyond what one would expect in my project. Their assistance with design as well as construction management allowed me to relax and enjoy the process and since I was an absentee owner this was important. These are honest and reliable people and I cant remember when I have rendered such an endorsement to a contractor.

Once again Growing City proved themselves with a prompt and timely repair of our storm damaged condo. We returned to the island to discover that our condo suffered water damage from hurricane Irma. Our condo association replaced damaged drywall, but replacing baseboard , matching wall color and texture was left to us. An e-mail plea to Growing City was answered promptly, and after assessing the damage a repairman was on site in less than a day. His repair was exquisite in quality, he matched the colors and textures perfectly, and we unable to tell that the wall was damaged. Baseboard was also replaced and water stained areas repaired and repainted also. The clean up was completed and left spotless. We are very happy and again have no qualms about recommending Growing City for your consideration.

As a custom estate home builder in Canada, finding someone that has the same philosophy and integrity in providing your client with the highest quality of finishes and craftsmanship and accountability was very important to me. Out of all the contractors my wife and I interviewed Eduardo was the only one that came fully prepared with condo floor plans in hand, he knew what was expected of him before he set foot into our condo. Eduardo listened to our expectations and understood our time lines and he met and surpassed all of them. Living in Canada Eduardo kept us in constant communication from the demolition stage to the final finishes. My comfort level was immediate with Eduardo, his team of contractors, even our property manager from the Somerset was completely impressed by his professionalism and respect for our building and the occupants that live there. For me the most amazing thing about our complete remodelling at the Somerset besides the incredible results was the friendship that was created with Eduardo and his family. He and his wife have become one of our dearest friends, we are truly honoured to have met such honest and caring people. I have and will continue to recommend Eduardo and his team from the Growing City Corp. for your next renovation or complete remodelling...he will not let you down!! "Thank you Eduardo...you have allowed us to enjoy a piece of paradise for years to come."

Our experience with Growing City was nothing short of outstanding. We contracted with them to completely gut and refurbish our Marco Island condo based on a recommendation from a family member who had used them before, and as you can see from the photos, the final product is just beautiful. Eduardo and his son Nihuel made the entire process - from initial planning all the way through completing the final punch list items - very simple and painless. They had great recommendations on the design, and guided us in the right direction for selecting materials such as tile, cabinets, fixtures and countertops. They helped us make cost/benefit decisions on upgrades we were considering, and we never felt that they were trying to up-sell or encourage us to spend more than our budget allowed. We trusted that they had our best interests in mind, which is something we've rarely experienced when dealing with contractors. Eduardo and Nihuel handled all of the required permits and paperwork, and dealt with our condo association and inspections, which eliminated a lot of headaches for us. They kept us updated on the construction process and sent pictures so we could see their progress. They were very responsive to our emails and phone calls and we always felt fully informed on what was going on. We are absolutely thrilled with how our condo turned out. The entire project felt seamless; there were no surprises and everything happened exactly as planned. In fact, they finished the project almost a month earlier than they originally estimated. The quality of work and attention to detail is excellent, and we feel that Growing City fully met, and even exceeded all of our expectations. Not sure if Growing City is the least expensive option around (we didn't do a lot of comparisons), but I doubt that there are many (if any) contractors who could provide the same level of service, quality and value that they do. I've done enough rehab projects to know that they are truly exceptional at what they do. We will definitively use Growing City in the future, and we are happy to recommend them to anyone needing a contractor.

Very friendly and eager to please clients Still need a couple of adjustments but confident they will get it done

WE have been in business for 31 years, with 12 retail stores we have dealt with many contractors through the years and we have never found someone like Eduardo from Growing city. He is a man of his word, honor and integrity; understanding, patient, professional and responsible. It was a pleasure to deal with him and his son Nihuel, we are super pleased with the total remodeling of our apartment, we will recommend them to anyone, any time, they are amazing. I only wish they were in Miami to give them all contracts from our stores.

I read all of the reviews of Growing City and was skeptical that they were true; however, I found Growing City to be a very professional firm that delivered on their promises. The quality of the work was excellent and the results were absolutely beautiful. Growing City did a complete remodel of my condo, including new hurricane glass sliders and windows. The project was completed before the deadline and I could not be more pleased. I love the results. Nihuel was always prompt in his responses to my questions and I enjoyed working with him. I would recommend Growing City any time.

Growing City is a family owned/operated business spearheaded by parents and two very capable sons. The contractor was thoroughly vetted beforehand uncovering nothing but glowing recommendations. Our project consisted of a whole house remodel. Construction started ahead of schedule and correspondingly was completed in advance of expectations. Growing City was extremely organized, detail oriented, and customer driven. Communication throughout was excellent and project modifications yielded favorable results while remaining on budget. Total satisfaction was definitely the end result and they are highly recommended!

Quality work, easy to work with, Eduardo always puts the customer first. Eduardo suggestions turn out to be home runs. His technical knowledge is outstanding. Only one negative is that he is such demand u need patience while waiting on permits and getting the appropriate inspections completed so the project can expedite to completion. His workmanship is impeccable.

Growing City did a complete remodel of our vacation condo and we could not be happier. They were on time, on budget, and exceeded our expectations. The family was great to work with and professional and courteous. They made the experience enjoyable and we love the results. I would recommend them to anyone.

Growing City, a family-owned company, did a beautiful job on our condo renovation. They made two promises: To finish on time and make us happy customers. They succeeded. They used quality products and modern fixtures to update and improve our home and it's stunning!

I've used Growing City in the past for two remodeling projects, and currently using them on a new pool project. They are very professional and understand good customer service. Also, they have a great attention to detail. This alone sets them apart from the majority of contractors out there. However, what I really love is their wonderful design skills. They do little things with their construction, materials, interior design, and finish that results in a uniquely modern look. They are way ahead of the game here vs the competition, Plus they are competitively priced. I'm sold on Eduardo and Nihuel at Growing City. I trust them and know my project will be a success and I'll be happy with the outcome.

I would highly recommend this company. As one of the top real estate agents in the area, it is important that I only recommend contractors who will be honest, have great customer service and high quality work to my clients. I can say Growing City exemplifies all of these qualities. Their work is superior and they have a very creative design edge that most contractors do not offer. I have personally used Growing City and many of my customers have now used them. I will continue to recommend this company.

I found Growing City Corp through an on line search - one meeting with Eduardo Martinovic and I knew I had the right professional. He showed me several examples of completed and ongoing total renovation projects that were of comparable upscale water front condo properties. He was very open to my ideas and always gave me additional options to consider. He mastery of efficient floor planning created the highest and best use of a relatively small living area - 1100ft2. His team is highly skilled - in particular tile/flooring, windows, finish carpentry and special lighting. We were on budget and on time - no "oh by the way..." We are very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Growing City Corp to neighbors. A great family business to work with.

What a great decision we made! A couple of years ago, our family decided to reinvest in Marco Island property. At that time, we were looking for a condo on the beach. Our realtor found a unit for us with an ocean view. The unit we purchased was all original and outdated with blocked views of the Gulf. We decided to do a total renovation on the unit. Our realtor recommended Growing City and the owner, Eduardo Martinovic. We met with him and the work began. Our goals were to expand the ocean view, take full advantage of the floor space, to update the unit and to bring as much light into the condo as possible. Never in our wildest dreams would we have believed our family unit could have turned out so beautifully and so state of the art. People always want to come to our unit to get ideas for their condos/homes and are truly amazed and awestruck at its beauty and craftsmanship. Eduardo's ability to design and listen to what his clients want, make it possible to put together a beautiful finished product. And, as an added bonus, it was finished on time. Eduardo is creative and detailed in his work. He is a man of true integrity, honesty, hard working and has a positive attitude. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We would highly recommend Eduardo and Growing City to anyone without hesitation. Paul and Donna Ganote

I am a registered architect in the state of Florida and happen to have been a client of Growing City Corp. for doing major improvements to our condo unit in Marco Island. Mr. Martinovic, its principal, is a true professional, who complied and exceeded all our expectations, with a very high quality of workmanship, in budget and on on time.. If someone needs to do renovations, or any type of construction, in Marco Island or Naples, I would not hesitate to recommend Growing City Corp. without any reservations.. Sincerely, Alfredo Rodriguez-Walling, A.I.A.

We suffered water damage in our condo from a plumbing leak in the unit above us in April 2015. It required a professional that was responsive and more importantly one that could put a strategy together for a quick fix and an upgrade to our two damaged bathrooms. Growing City Corp. ("GCC") was called, was on-site that day and minimized the problem working with the association management and us. The bathrooms turned out amazing! GCC's unique ability to put modern designs together economically eliminates the need for micro management of the project which is a benefit as we were not local. This is our second renovation using GCC, the other being a kitchen that went together equally well. Sincerely, Jackie and Dave Eckstein

Selecting a renovation contractor to remodel your condo or home is an important and big decision, especially if you are not going to be present while the work is being performed. You need a contractor who is honest, customer focused, committed to performing the work to the highest quality and all while staying within budget and on schedule. Eduardo Martinovic and his company, Growing City Corp., meets all the above requirements. My wife and I were fortunate to meet Eduardo to discuss the remodeling of the kitchen and baths for our condo and hire him to perform the work. From our first meeting Eduardo was focused on what we wanted and assisted us in our decision making. His knowledge of the work and customer focus throughout the whole process was outstanding and he was always available to discuss work progress or any concerns we had. We are happy to say the finished work met, and in some cases, exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Eduardo and Growing City Corp for your remodeling project.

We hired Growing City to do a total renovation of our condo. Kitchen two baths, floors, etc. All of this, long distance. The work not only was done on time, great care for detail, cleanliness and professionalism. Eduardo and his crew were great to work with. In person and via telephone. Thank you! for a great experience. Definitely would use Growing City again. "The Pereira Family"

Growing City Corp. completed a gut and remodel of our Marco Island condo. This included the gutting and rebuilding of a kitchen and two full bathrooms. A popcorn ceiling was even removed. From the painting to the tile, this was a high-quality finish. The work was completed on time and with no financial overages. What can we say about Eduardo and his crew? They are simply the best. Eduardo offers creative advice and hand-holding for the less-experienced homeowner. His crew is polite, clean and talented. We completely recommend Growing City for your remodel.

We were very happy with the high quality of the work, the price, and the professionalism of the Growing City team. Eduardo was a delight to work with. His workers were respectful and very professional. the work they did was extraordinary. We are very happy with our condo renovation and would highly recommend Growing City to anyone considering having work done.

I have a condo on Marco Island on the beach, It is on the 10th floor. They replaced 18 windows, 2 triple sliding doors, and a double sliding door. It was a pleasure working with Growing City to purchase and have my new WinDoor high impact windows installed. Their estimate was detailed and very fair. They even took down my plantation shutters, which were in every room and reinstalled them. When I got the original estimate, I did not know if they could take down the shutters and reinstall them. Other companies who gave me an estimate said I would have to do that with someone else, or there would be an extra charge. Growing City's estimate, which came in less then other suppliers, did not include the shutters, but Growing City said they would do the shutters without an extra charge. The work was excellent. Growing City does not nickle and dime you-they do quality work at a fair price. VERY IMPORTANT--The workmen were very were respectful of our property/furnishing, making sure everything was protected. They were courteous and friendly. Nihuel, the owner of the Window/Door Division of Growing City was very accessible and always returned phone calls in a short period of time, If there was any concern, Nihuel addressed the situation immediately. A real plus is that Growing City is also a builder and renovator of properties, that is why they could handle my shutters with no problem, and they did some other small repairs that I asked them to do when they were working in my unit. . Their follow up after the job was done to fix or attend to some details was excellent.

We found that they were very good to work with and had great ideas about how we could improve our condo. They charged a fair price and didn't charge for anything over the contract price. The work was completed on time. We have now hired them for another project at a different location.

There are not enough words on how our project turned out. We told everyone it was a remodel but in actuality it was a complete renovation! Eduardo was absolutely wonderful to work with, he had great suggestions and left the final decisions in our hands. He far exceeded our expectations! We picked out our floors, granite, cabinets, etc., and left for four months. With picture updates and emails, we came back to our condo for the great "reveal" and it was spectacular!!! We cannot convey enough how happy we are to have chosen Eduardo and his Growing City Corp., and we do not hesitate to recommend them to everyone we know.

We hired Growing City to perform a total remodel of our beachfront condominium. We found Eduardo and the team at Growing City to be extremely professional, very talented and completely trustworthy. They partnered with us and blended our vision with their expertise and experience to deliver a beautifully remodeled condo to us on time without any issues with budget or cost. Eduardo and his team truly partnered with us, were flexible, provided valuable suggestions and ideas we did not conceive of. He could see things we would not have considered...resulting in a result we could not be happier with. When issues occurred, Eduardo was forthright and contacted us to let us know about an issue or concern. When an issue was created by Growing City, he was proactive pointing it out to us and suggested fixes/alternatives that were great. Our experiences with other remodelers is they would be inclined to hide those things and avoid them. We would highly recommend the team from Growing City.

We were referred to Growing City Corp! We were shown a number of condos that they remodeled and we liked what we saw. Being a Realtor up north and having built two of my own homes I recognized excellent building and finish work! We hired Growing City Corp and totally remodeled our entire condo including both bedrooms, closets, both bathrooms, kitchen with new granite, living room, removed popcorn ceilings in all rooms, crown mounding throughout and all new window treatments! We were very pleased with the end result and our condo was all brand new!

Growing City (Eduardo & Nihuel) facilitated a complete condo renovation of our Condo (South Seas West) in Marco Island, FL. The work included a complete kitchen, 2 bathroom, and floor plan renovation. The Growing City team did a great job of managing the overall project including staying within cost and timeline targets. What sets them apart is their attention to detail, innovative design ideas, and overall professionalism. The finish product exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier. AO

The entire Growing City team is the best. From the professional consultation and quote, to the step by step job completion, to insuring that I was satisfied completely, you cannot find a better remodeling contractor. The finished product of my completed Condo exceeded all my expectations. I would engage Growing City again for any and all contracting needs.

The overall job came out nice and they tried to work with your budget. The process was grueling due to a couple of big things and many little things that weren't done right. Deadlines not met and not receptive to changes. They tried to fix the problems but when problems continue to arise it became uncomfortable to deal with them.
