We
love
our
new
Jacobsen
Home!
It’s
comfortable,
quiet,
energy
efficient
and
beautiful.
And
we
can’t
say
enough
about
Shane
Robson-Smith
and
the
wonderful
people
who
worked
with
us
at
Citrus/Meadowood
Homes.
Even
with
the
unique
challenges
and
delays
our
project
posed
-
a
custom
built,
triple
wide
with
an
attached
garage
located
in
a
FEMA
VE-Zone,
working
with
the
team
spearheaded
by
Shane
was
a
great
experience.
The
team
was
with
us
at
each
step
of
the
process,
offering
suggestions,
mitigating
problems,
and
presenting
solutions.
When
we
first
met
with
Shane,
we
handed
him
8-pages
of
construction
details
and
design
and
finishing
features.
We
well-remember
the
expression
on
his
face
as
he
perused
our
list
of
wants,
needs
and
the
quality
construction
we
were
expecting.
We
had
spent
over
a
year
conceptualizing
a
design,
measuring,
visiting
showrooms,
drawing
and
modifying
blueprints,
gleaning
ideas
from
friends
with
new
homes,
and
doing
extensive
on-line
research,
before
deciding
on
a
Jacobsen
Home.
Rather
than
our
lengthy
wish
list
putting
him
off,
Shane
leaned
back
in
his
chair,
smiled
broadly
and
said,
“This
is
great.
Let’s
get
started”.
He
embraced
our
ideas,
recommended
additional
features,
and
the
year-long
adventure
began.
Due
to
engineering
constraints
on
a
manufactured
home
and
because
of
very
specific
VE-Zone
regulations,
our
learning
curve
was
steep,
and
there
were
a
few
bumps
in
the
road,
but
even
through
the
glitches,
Shane
guided
us
skillfully
and
cheerfully
through
the
design
and
building
process.
Nothing
was
too
small
or
too
large
for
him
to
address,
and
as
the
project
evolved,
he
engaged
superior
sub-contractors,
companies
and
workmen:
Alan
at
HiTech,
whose
firm
engineered
and
created
46-unique
building
piers
on
which
to
set
the
units;
Juli
at
Burns
Kitchen
and
Design
in
Lakeland,
who
designed
our
beautiful
custom
kitchen;
Keith
at
Lily
Electrical,
who
enhanced
our
electrical
capacity
for
the
boat
lift,
dock
and
garage;
and
Marty
at
Bahrs,
whose
team
met
special

and

and

VE-Zone
requirements
to
skirt
the
units,
construct
the
porches,
and
built
an
attached
garage
with
flow-through
louver
insets.
We’ve
lived
in
the
home
now
for
several
months,
and
we
couldn’t
be
more
pleased
with
the
construction
quality
and
the
design
choices
we
made.
Shane
and
the
entire
Citrus
Meadowood
team
(Jan,
Greg,
Donna
and
Grace)
have
been
great
to
work
with.
Throughout
the
entire
project,
they
have
been
friendly,
efficient,
professional
and
responsive.
We
have
always
been
treated
as
valued
customers;
in
fact,
we’ve
been
treated
as
family.
