FD Building Company

If I could give the entire FD team more than 5 stars I would. To say we were beyond impressed with each and every one of them, is an understatement. We've renovated two homes now and the night and day difference it makes working with a good GC can truly make or break a project and FD made our project a dream process and project. Don't look any further - just hire them. The star of the show was George, who was truly what every GC should aspire to be. He is knowledgeable, incredibly on top of it, attentive to detail, communicative, responsive, and proactive. I like to think I can think through various scenarios having been in the architecture industry for years. But he brings it to a whole other level. I only know 10% of what he saw and fixed ahead of time or on the spot. He was so incredibly organized, held his crews to the highest quality standards and always communicated anything going on that needed my assistance. He kept things moving at a pace that I didn't know was possible. Meaning, only 2 weeks behind the initial proposed schedule for a renovation of a 800-sqft house and 1200-sqft addition. And the delay was only because of weather completely out of his control. And to him, the 2 weeks was unacceptable. Let me tell you this, that is almost unheard of. To have a GC this on top of it that can get crews scheduled, actually show up, do an incredible job with the quality of work, and to work with so many moving pieces is truly a rare find. Mike, the owner, is involved, friendly, knowledgeable, aware of ongoings and has built an incredible team. Jason worked closely with us for a month or two in the early stages while we were bidding the project. He far surpassed any other contractor we were working with to get the project bid. His attention to every detail in the bid was close to perfect. Cherrice did a top notch job getting us set up with all the systems, keeping all the specs up to date, and clearly communicating anything she needed from us. And huge thanks to Melanie for communicating so clearly on all accounting needs. A++ service all around. This has all been focused on the people, because they are really what makes the project a success. But I also want to mention our final product (the house) is absolutely gorgeous. Like I said, they renovated an existing 800 sqft home (meaning stripped down to the studs - literally just a stick frame), reorganized the entire home, and added on 12,000 sqft and it's top notch quality and absolutely beautiful. Cannot recommend enough.

Working with FD Building was a great experience! Jason did an amazing job meeting with us (multiple times) to set up the details for our full exterior renovation, provided a clear understanding of product options and stayed within our budget. Decision making is hard, and Jason made it fun, while lending his great ideas for how to achieve the look we wanted. Our Project Manager, Jim, was the best! He worked to keep the timeline on track, which was difficult given material delays and other unforeseen circumstances. He fully oversaw all of the work being done, and fielded all of our questions with professionalism, guiding us with his expert knowledge. Jim truly went above and beyond every day, available by text/phone and sending photos, as we were not at the property during most of the job. Because Jim cared about every detail like it was his own house, the quality of work is just outstanding. Thanks FD, we love the house!

We hired FD Building Co. to do the remodeling of our house in Southampton and are pleased with their work quantity and responsiveness. The team was professional and courteous from the beginning. Although the Site Supervisor left the company in the middle of the project, David Ospina quickly stepped in to fill the role and couldn’t have been more pleasant to deal with. When we had to use the house during our son’s Spring Break before the project was completely done, FD went above and beyond to finish the kitchen/baths installations and even hired a cleaner to get the house ready for us. The project did drag on longer than expected but most of it due to materials/fixtures being on back order. Mike Alberti was very responsive to our emails and usually replied during the same day and addressed the issues within the same week. We would highly recommend FD Building, and would use them again if we do more home remodeling.

Overall, the final look is nice. We love the shower and floor tile.. The 2 men doing the installation did a very good job and it was done in a timely fashion. We encountered a few issues with incorrect plumbing and shower fixture that was corrected. Also, the wrong door moulding was installed and had to be replaced. In the end we love the bathroom, with the exception of the generic window trim which we did not like the look of but did not want to have torn down at that point.

Reliable, courteous, passionate,,knowledgeable, professional, neat and respectful. FD did an amazing job after another company destroyed my bathroom. Their designer was so helpful that I saw a different design and went with it. I love the outcome! And yes if any problems arise they on top of it immediately. I would recommend them to everyone.

Wow, ahead of schedule AND on budget. I've done renovations with different contractors and FD was by far the best. Project management is top notch.

FD Building did an amazing job on our complete home renovation. They offered perfect service and quality throughout the entire project. I would gladly hire them again and recommend them to everyone I know looking for construction.

My wife and I used FD Building Company for our home renovation in East Hampton and could not have been happier with the result. From the start of the process through the finish FD Building Co proved highly responsive and dedicated to the successful completion of the project. We had an extensive renovation including a full gut of the house, the building of an addition, and the renovation of our existing kitchen and 3 bathrooms. Both Dennis and Mike are extremely professional, organized and detail oriented which made the whole project much easier to manage and the result was excellent. Most importantly they are honest, easy to work with and take great pride in their work. We have been through 2 previous gut renovations on different properties and interviewed over 6 potential candidates for this project and now that the project is finished we can say we are thrilled to have had the good fortune of selecting FD Building Co as our partner.

I hired FD building after receiving 3 bids. They weren’t the lowest but were the best in regards to clear communication and trust which is more important to me. There is always some room for improvement but giving the horror stories that are told of Contractors these guys are straight shooters. Helpful if on a budget too.

I am extremely satisfied with the overall experience with FD Building Company. This was my first home renovation project ever and had heard horrible stories from people who had undertaken similar projects in the area. However, Dennis and Mike delivered and excellent quality job, and importantly, delivered on their commitment to complete the job on time and within an agreed upon budget. Communication and transparency throughout the process was excellent, they prepared and constantly updated a calendar showing what tasks were being performed at each different stage. They also have their own full team to handle the different trades already assembled so the coordination and cost control is perfect - hence their ability to deliver the project in time and within the budget ! The others aspect we were very satisfied with s their attention to detail and quality of work. They even proactively recommended some practical but tasteful solutions/ideas that fit within our style vision when we were indecisive with respect to some finishing and design choices. In summary, I would definitely recommend them !

FD Building did a great job on our house renovation. We first met Mike to discuss a few modest improvements, but we ended up hiring FD Building to do a top-to-bottom renovation (new roof; raised the ceiling in our living room; renovated both bathrooms and kitchen; all new doors/millwork throughout the house; new AC zone; lighting and electrical upgrades; repainted the interior and sanded/refinished the wood floors; new outdoor shower enclosure; etc.). The FD crew and subcontractors showed up when expected and kept the workspace clean and organized. Mike and Dennis were professional and responsive (as was Laura) throughout the process, and FD promptly corrected the few items that were done differently than we had requested. Bottom line: we are very happy with our choice of contractor and we love our renovated house.

Extremely talented and 100% professional at all times, Michael, Dennis & Lauralynn are a dream team to work with. I have had the pleasure to design several projects for them thusfar, and look forward to many more to come in the future!
