Fero Construction was formed in 1974 by Thomas J. Fero and Karen L. Fero. Having moved from Illinois with a teaching degree and a union card in construction, Tom decided building homes was what he wanted to do. Starting out in the 70’s was a lot less complicated than building today, after all of the new hurricane codes that where implemented after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 that hit the Miami area and then after Hurricane Charley that came right through Charlotte County August 13, 2004. Tom started his building career with a 2 bedroom 2 bath spec house, doing most of the work himself, including a tile roof. That home introduced Fero Construction to the public – the quality workmanship and word of mouth did the rest. Fero Construction’s 1^st home was built in 1976-77 in Port Charlotte. Building his own personal homes provided Tom with a way of expressing his talents as a carpenter/designer and his eye for detail.

During the 35 years Fero Construction has been in business, they have built over 2,000 custom homes, 4 condominium projects, a medical facility, duplexes and commercial office buildings. Fero Construction is a member of the Charlotte – Desoto Builder’s Industry Association, National Association of Home Builders, Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce, and the Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce. Thomas J Fero holds a Class A, State Certified General Contractor’s License, which qualifies him to build residential and commercial buildings throughout the State of Florida.
