FDR just became president when Deeb companies had their humble beginnings in Tallahassee in the early thirties. George Deeb, great grandfather of todays management, Ricky, Stephanie, Adam, Nadia and Mariena Deeb, watched his little company grow by leaps and bounds. He moved by way of Panama City to St. Petersburg in 1939. It was the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) that talked George into coming to St. Petersburg and his company was the first in the area to offer housing to the working man. In the early 1930s, builders just would not commit to projects that did not involve cash up front, but Deeb Construction offered policemen, firemen, teachers and other moderate income families a chance to fulfill that dream.
