Founder & CEO, Golden Grove

Meet John Sardina

Born and raised in Naples, Florida, John Sardina has a deep-rooted appreciation for the homes, families, and lifestyle that make this community so special. With firsthand knowledge of the area’s unique estates and seasonal rhythms, John set out to redefine what it means to care for high-end properties in his hometown.

After years of seeing homeowners frustrated with unreliable contractors and disjointed service, he founded Golden Grove with one mission: to elevate how luxury homes are protected and maintained in Southwest Florida.

What makes John's approach different? It’s the combination of modern tools and old-school trust. Every Golden Grove client receives access to a custom-built digital portal making it easy to request service, view inspection reports, and stay connected with their property, no matter where they are.

Just as important, John is building something bigger: a network of vetted, locally owned vendors, many of whom he has personal relationships with. From landscapers to electricians, he partners only with those who deliver the highest quality work at prices you don’t have to question — people homeowners can trust in and around their most valuable assets.

“I grew up here. I know these streets, these homes, and the people who live in them. Golden Grove is about bringing peace of mind back to estate ownership — through consistency, care, and local relationships that stand the test of time.”

Today, John oversees a growing team and multiple service divisions under Golden Grove Holdings — from estate management to power washing — all rooted in his vision of professionalism, discretion, and reliability.

Founder of Exterior Detailing | Division Lead, Power Washing

Meet Alex Sardina

Alex has always believed that if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right — and that mindset set John for the path he went on leading to Golden Grove Holdings.

As the original founder of Exterior Detailing, Alex built his reputation on delivering reliable, results-driven service to homeowners and businesses across Naples. Early on, he became obsessed with finding better, safer, and more effective ways to clean — investing in the latest equipment and building custom rigs that could tackle any surface without harming delicate landscaping or high-end finishes.

Today, as part of the family’s growing companies, Alex continues to pour his expertise into the division he built. He remains hands-on in:

• Equipment design and rig development
• Power washing and training new technicians
• High-touch client care and quality assurance

His leadership ensures that every job reflects the high standards he's upheld for decades.

“This work matters to me — not just the result, but how we get there. It’s about respect for the property, the client, and the trust they place in us.

”As he transitions away from day-to-day labor, Alex plans to focus more on mentorship, client relationships, and building the next generation of Golden Grove / Exterior Detailing field leaders — ensuring that the care and craftsmanship that started it all stays at the heart of the operation.
