F. John LaBarba Construction

F. John is so popular I had to wait two years for him to get started on my project, but it is well worth the wait. He and his crew are perfectionists, and isn't that what we all want in a contractor? He has known and used his subs for years, and they are almost as perfect as F. John and his crew. His only complaint about them is his fear that they will retire before he!! I am replacing my 40+ year old rough-cut cedar siding with cement board in several stages over hopefully not more than the next year or two (depending on F. John's availability). It's his first job using cement board, so to prepare he and his crew took tutorials from the manufacturer and purchased special tools to use on the job. Everyone arrived every single day shortly before starting time, took precisely a half hour for lunch and left shortly after quitting time. F. John stopped by nearly every day to check on progress and discuss potential problems at length with his crew and with me. He is always available via phone and email for any questions or concerns. His billings were detailed and fair, except I know he under-billed me on a couple of things but wouldn't change the bill because his records didn't jive with mine.

I've worked with John and his crew for well over a decade, they are always professional and organized, they are always there to facilitate any of our needs, communication is always clear and prompt. I highly recommend them for anyone needing a contractor for a residential or commercial project.

This is not my first project with F. John LaBarba Construction. The craftmanship and professionalism of F. John LaBarba and his staff are topnotch. From the design concept to the finalized completed project, their expertise shows in their work and it is outstanding. I could go on and on – but the most important part is that the quality of their work is great and I would definitely recommend them. I know that I will use F. John LaBarba Construction and his crew for my next design Michael Maloney

This is the 2nd project F.John La Barba construction has done for me. The 1st was a 1st floor renovation: new hardwood flooring, smooth texturing the walls, gas fireplace etc. This time we totally renovated the 2nd story: New windows to replace old and dated ones, smooth wall texturing, new master bath, new flooring throughout , new doors etc. He and his crew are very knowledgable about all facets of construction, the sub contractors are professional ( they have worked together for years). Everyone works in a timely manner, polite, cheerful. I love my house !!!!! Michele

F.John did an expansion and remodel of my pharmacy, doubling in size to 8,000 sq feet. He assisted with design, coordinated architects, engineers, carpenters, electricians and more to finish the project. The end result exceeded my expectations and has been a lifesaver during the pandemic, allowing us to easily distance and help protect staff and patients. Our workflow is greatly improved and I could not be happier with the result.

We are amazed by the craftsmanship and appreciative of the professionalism we’ve received from F John LaBarba Construction. The eye for detail and ability to capture what we were going for went over and beyond. They provide a high quality product and we definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a remodel, new build or commercial property.

F John LaBarba Construction came recommended to us to do the remodel for our new restaurant. The work was much more extensive then we originally had imagined and included structural reconstructing in most places. F John and the crew knew how to meet each issue that came up along the way, and there were many.. The crew worked competently and steadily when they were on the job. It is a big plus that they are all trustworthy and pleasant to interact with and went above and beyond to help us with our unexpected issues. We were confident that they would take us through to passing all the final inspections which we did. We would definitely recommend F John LaBarba Construction and would use them again. They are an honest, helpful and competent team. Vim Dining & Desserts

F. John, his crew and his amazing Rolodex meant that our large(for us) commercial remodel ended up being the crown jewel of our three local cafes. F.John was patient as we struggled through our permitting process and assorted landmines on the way towards construction. Once given the green light La Barba and crew made fast work of our complete remodel/expansion. See our cafe in F. John's portfolio of job picks--we're Coffeetopia!

We hired F. John LaBarba's firm for this project because of the high quality of his work on another project three years ago. He is knowledgable, explaining clearly what we need to do to reach the outcome we sought. His estimates proved to be sound. Mr. LaBarba paid close attention as his subcontractors did each element of the project. We remain impressed by his conscientious attention and would seek a proposal from him for any subsequent work requiring his expertise.

John La Barba is an excellent contractor. He is very knowledgeable, has many years experience and has a wonderful crew who are very professional and friendly. His subcontractors are the best. He listens to my ideas but will tell me what will really work. The quality of his work great. He always kept me current with the work calendar. He came in on budget. I will hire him again.

Our experience with F. John LaBarba Construction was excellent from the very beginning. F. John was highly recommended by our architect, and we were not disappointed. F. John quickly understood the nature of our project and got us a quote in short order. His carpenters (Bryan and Matt) were on time, worked quickly and neatly, and were very conscientious and friendly. It was also clear that they cared about the project and worked with integrity. If anything was unclear, they always made sure to ask. F. John's subcontractors for electrical, drywall and painting were likewise very efficient and conscientious, even working weekends a couple times to keep everything moving. F. John did an excellent job of communicating to us how things were progressing, what was next, and checking that everything was as we were expecting. As a project manager in a previous job myself, I was very impressed at how F. John coordinated and managed all of the subs to keep things flowing and on time and budget. When we got stuck or had an issue, F. John was right there to help with solutions and possibilities.

He created a cement foundation for 2 rotting pillars that supported my studio. It turned out really nice, very attractive, and fit in with the architect's design. He was easy to work with, supplied pictures of the work daily, he was competent, confident and completed the job when he said he would.
