FSB JD Contracting

It is our pleasure to recommend Jorge DosSantos and J.D. Contracting & Renovations, LLC for your next home construction project. Jorge oversaw the recent renovation of our kitchen and the conversion of an adjacent sunroom into an informal dining area. Our plan called for integration of the two rooms, enlargement of doorways, and demolition down to studs everywhere, together with installation of new insulation, cabinets and appliances. Jorge is a consummate professional and extremely organized and detail oriented. He obtained without a glitch all the necessary permits and required inspections. At our first meeting, before we had retained his services, he reviewed elevations of our plans, asked insightful questions, and punched multiple holes in the soffit to know exactly what was behind the walls, something our kitchen designer had never thought to do. Jorge’s discovery of concealed waste pipes that could not be moved necessitated revision of the plans, specifically using 30” tall upper cabinets instead of 36” tall cabinets. I credit Jorge with preventing a disaster had the designer ordered the taller cabinets. Jorge’s proposal was detailed and comprehensive, as well as competitively priced. Jorge has an extensive background working with all types of cabinetry and tiles, and he has an amazing color and design sense. He has truly “seen it all.” His suggestions were invaluable. His team of subcontractors, plumber, electrician, flooring specialist and especially his master carpenter and tile installer, are all skilled professionals and artisans. They showed up on time, spoke English, were pleasant and happy to answer questions. Jorge is a perfectionist who expects the same of his team. He clearly has their respect. During the demolition phase Jorge made sure that plastic sheeting was hung to contain dust and debris. Work areas were swept and left very clean at the end of each workday. Jorge was a constant presence. His communication skills are excellent, both in person and via daily texts and phone calls. He always kept us aware of what was to be done each day, and limited the disruption the construction caused to our daily lives. Jorge was such a fixture in our home that after our project was completed, we missed not seeing and speaking with him daily. Personally, Jorge is a true gentleman. He is pleasant, calm, and patient. I would not consider using anyone else for our next home project. We are already planning a bathroom renovation project with him. We give Jorge DosSantos and J.D. Contracting & Renovations, LLC our highest recommendation. Meet and speak with him. You will not be disappointed. He and his team are simply the best!

We recently hired Jorge and FSB Contracting to renovate our 20-year-old kitchen. And boy were we lucky to have found them! Jorge was very helpful and efficient in preparing the budget and the timeline in advance, and he stuck to it until the very end. Jorge was extremely present with his communication, always available to answer any questions we had (and we had plenty!). He and his crew arrived as scheduled each day, and before leaving for the day, the space was always left clean and orderly. A few items of note was they did an amazing job on our herringbone backsplash, which is not an easy task, and after deliberating on several different color swatches, Jorge’s recommendation of the perfect stain color for the floors was spot on and the floors came out perfect. Overall, this was the best experience we could have asked for and I highly recommend their services. Jorge is an absolute pro and perfectionist, and I can't think of any other better qualities one would want for a contractor. Looking forward to using them on our next project!!

FSB was fantastic! We chose FSB Contracting for a remodel of our kitchen and powder room. They were highly professional, kept a clean job site and did high quality work. They showed up on time and for the few occasions where timing changed, we were notified of the update in advance. Most importantly they care about the customer's satisfaction. Throughout the demo and renovations Jorge and team made sure we were happy by proactively asking for input and offering suggestions about some of the finer details of the work. I am pretty particular with my contractors attention to details and overall FSB provided an exceptional experience. I would not hesitate to use FSB again...and to recommend them to my family and friends.

FSB Contracting is absolutely wonderful and we recommend them highly. We interviewed three contractors for our $250,000+ project and selected FSB based on their detail oriented and caring approach. They guided us through an entire basement completion requiring a legal bedroom, full bathroom, wine storage room, wet bar and gym with sauna. Everything moved seamlessly through the architectural phase, foundation demolition, plumbing, electrical, hvac then to the more fulfilling drywall placement with painting and fixture placement. They are familiar with city codes and requirements and each inspection went off without a hitch due to FSB's excellent reputation and knowledge base. FSB contracting goes the extra mile, meeting me at the flooring store to help me out of my indecision and making gentle recommendations of where to shop for fixtures when requested. They keep cost in mind and stick to their budget and timelines. Any additional costs are explained and signed off with mutual agreement before that work is done and therefore we had no conflicts despite the high cost, high stress renovation of our basement. Anyone who has been through a significant renovation -and we have been through multiple- knows that your general contractor becomes more than an employee on a job because they are in your home and around your family. We can vouch for the professionalism and high caliber of work at FSB contracting and after a year long renovation, we are happy to even call them our friends! We would not hesitate to rehire FSB contracting for future needs in our home.

Fabiano and Jorge are kind, thoughtful, responsive, and extremely professional. I have worked with other contractors in the past but FSB contracting has been by far the easiest and most talented contractor I have ever worked with. They recently completed two beautiful bathrooms for me. They are also helpful with design ideas! They were able to maintain the budget and timeline that was set up ahead of time. How incredibly lucky you would be to have FSB work on a project in your home!

Our bathroom project to completely remodel our bathroom is now complete, and the dust has settled, FSB Contracting did a simply wonderful job. Our bathroom is even better than we hoped, in design and very high quality of execution, thanks to the adept and careful work of the team and its dept subcontractors. They made many adjustments and suggestions to resolve the inevitable problems that arose. They were so prompt in responding to our many questions, and patiently educating us: it was a delight to work with them. .

The review I write will never be enough to say just how grateful I am of finding Fabiano! Fabiano recommended one of his sub-contractors, Ricardo, to do be the contractor that would do all the work, however Fabiano managed all of the paper required since I live in a co-op with strict policies. Firstly, Fabiano was ALWAYS prompt to respond to any every questions, text, and phone call. He we prompt in gathering together paper work (licensure & insurance) for my building board approval & and to file for city permits. His professionalism, responsiveness, & customer service is of the highest in a profession where these qualities are non-existent The sub contractor he recommended, Ricardo, is also of the same caliber of professionalism. He has been attentive to detail, super responsive, on time, extremely vocal about each step of the renovation process. He just completed our bathroom and we are now starting an entire home renovation with his work is impeccable. It goes without saying that Ricardo’s hired men are amazing craft men. I added 2 pictures BUT, they really don’t do the work justice

I would highly recommend Fabiano and his team. The price was reasonable, and they did an excellent job. The team came exactly when promised and worked quickly but more importantly thoroughly and with attention to detail. I had experience in the past with contractors who cut corners and I did not want to repeat the experience. I was very happy the FSB team, they showed a great deal of professionalism and I did not have to stand over their shoulder watching as I had in the past. As is always the case, during the course of the job I came up with small additions (and a couple of larger ones) that I wanted doing. Fabiano either absorbed them or we agreed a reasonable price. The job was a whole house repainting and repair of damaged wood and siding. In my youth I had worked with a contractor and I know that painting is 80% about preparation which is easy to skip. However, the team did a very thorough job.

FSB Contracting was great! We appreciated how responsive Fabiano was to any questions we had - always a quick text back. The work he did was perfect. And amazingly the job was completed quicker than initially expected. He replaced floor, counter, backsplash and sink in our kitchen, as well as painting it. He also replaced countertop and sinks in master bath. Did this all even during Covid-19 pandemic. Such a nice guy, with great work product. Recommend FSB Contracting 100%.

On any home project, you hope to have a person who knows what they are doing, has both insight and foresight for the job and above all is honest. With FSB we had it all. His crew were imaculate as far as each day, leaving our home cleaner than when they came in. They showed up when they said they would and there were no surprises as far as the work they performed. They made very constructive observations and recommendations as the job went on. We had constant communication with Fabiano and his crew. We can't praise or recommend FSB enough.

Wonderful experience with Fabiano and his team. Extremely hard working, honest and knowledgeable, and perhaps more importantly, very communicative. Among the most fastidious, organized, and clean contractors I've ever worked with, and I've been in the construction industry for 30 years. With a project of this scope, and with Fabiano and his team in our home almost every day for the past few months, it would have been an awful experience if the entire FBS team was not such a pleasure to work with. Fabiano, his employees, and contractors treated our home as if it were their own. I would give FBS my highest recommendation.

Choosing FSB Contracting to renovate my 1500 square foot condo in White Plains was one of the best decisions I ever made. From start to finish, Fabiano, his entire team, and all the subcontractors he brought in to work on the job we're highly skilled, professional, courteous, trustworthy and extremely neat! They completely gutted and renovated my kitchen and powder room, redesigned the fireplace surround, installed beautiful hardwood floors throughout, reframed several closet doors, and painted the entire place. The estimate Fabiano provided was fair and detailed -- there were no surprise hidden costs at the end. He steered me away from implementing some unnecessary changes that would have been costly but didn't have a big impact on the overall design. His team is a great group of people, with a high attention to detail. They went above and beyond to make the finished product look amazing. Jorge even helped me shop and pick out tile and countertops! If you're looking for a fair, trustworthy, professional contractor, choose Fabiano and FSB Contracting. You will not regret it. I'm looking forward to working with Fabiano and his team again when I renovate my master bathroom!

Cannot say enough about the wonderful work Fabiano and his guys have done for us. We had a kitchen renovation and added two new windows in the living room and dining room. Fabiano did the job within (about 2 wks ahead of) the time line. Job was done perfectly, and the communication is great! As new homeowners, we didn’t know much about renovation. Fabiano was able to guide us throughout the whole process (even help us to secure better deals than we could on our own). I would recommend him 100%.

To start off, we should say that we were hesitant to begin the project of finishing our basement, as we had heard many horror stories about contractors' shoddy work, incomplete projects, and an overall lack of professionalism that one desires when completing an extensive project. Having said that, Fabiano and his team were the absolute antithesis of our fears. Their amazing work and attention to detail throughout the project were noticed by almost everyone who came to see the basement in progress -- the architect requested Fabiano's information twice so he could recommend him to his clients. The work was done in installments, and done with such care that there was only one "fix" that was needed, which took all of an hour and half, over the course of a 4 month project. Furthermore, the payment process and the contract generated with Fabiano eliminated any concerns over transparency or fairness. The work was paid out in installments, and both parties signed each copy of the contract to indicate that the work had been done, and the appropriate payment made. In fact, everyone Fabiano worked with during the project went above and beyond in ensuring that we were comfortable with what was being done. An example: we bought a TV to install in the new basement after it had been completed. Fabiano offered to mount the TV for us to ensure it was safe and secure, if we didn't feel comfortable doing so ourselves. Another example: Jorge, the foreman on the project, became friends with our 2 year old son, who loves tools and "workers". Overall, and most importantly: Fabiano, his team, other employees he brought in, and absolutely everyone associated with the project completed their work with professionalism. There were no corners cut, no attempts to complete work at any less than 100% of what was expected, and no hassles whatsoever. They take immense pride in their work, and are firm believers that these finished projects demonstrate their commitment to their craft and expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend FSB Contracting for any project! The pictures attached are just more evidence to support what has already been said in this review (and many others).

Let me start by saying that all of the overwhelmingly positive reviews of FSB Contracting are 100% consistent with my excellent experience with them on my now beautiful kitchen. My situation was a bit desperate because I had initially hired a different contractor that basically burned through my money and left me and my home in shambles. I contacted Fabiano through Houzz late on a Thursday and he made time for me the very next afternoon. I was late to meet him but I am so glad he was patient enough to wait. My luck was about to change. Fabiano took his time, listened to me and made careful notes of what I was looking for. Within a couple of days he provided me with a detailed estimate that included everything we discussed. At first, my husband and I were skeptical of the reviews, but as we evaluated the other bids, it was clear that Fabiano was the most thorough. He was also sensitive to our situation and responded promptly to all of our questions. He did not use any of the hard sell tactics. And, most importantly he was willing to expedite the start date so we could have a complete kitchen in the timeframe that we needed — by then we had already lost several weeks. What I hope you get to experience is the high standard of professionalism to which Fabiano holds himself and his staff. They showed up when they said they would, on time, fully equipped and ready to work. They took great care to protect our home and exterior from damage. Fabiano did not just send workers to my house. He arrived every morning to go over the work plan in detail and he personally inspected all of the work. Fabiano really does treat your home as if it were his own. Fabiano and his team were meticulous with their work and they delivered a very high quality finish. He is attentive to details and always went out of his way to explain options and the pros / cons. Fabiano takes pride in his work and takes time to make sure you feel great about your project and the space you live in. None of our many questions went unanswered. Fabiano runs his business with as much care as he delivers services. He always had all the tools and materials needed. We never had to wait because his crew was on another project or because he did not have materials. If something was ever needed, he always found a good yet economical solution. Very importantly, we did not deviate from the estimate or payment terms, and there were ZERO surprises and no hidden charges on our scope of work. We learned the hard way that doing your homework on a contractor is critical. It’s stressful not knowing if you are making the right choice about such a personal and important project. However, we genuinely believe you will not go wrong in choosing FSB Contracting. We completely satisfied with all of the work they did in our home. It was worth every penny. We only wish we had gone to them first. Fabiano and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with and we will definitely hire them again for future projects.

Fabiano and his crew did an excellent job. They communicated well and showed up when they said they would or notify me in advance if there were changes. The craftsmanship is superior and they were always respectful and courteous

If I were you, I would run, not walk, to Fabiano Banhara to do your contracting job. Fabiano and his crew started out with our request for an updated bathroom, and we kept adding things for him to do. We now have the most beautiful master suite, including gorgeous new bath. He reconfigured our space to make a huge walk-in closet. We started at the master, and then had them paint our entire house. The reason for all this was Fabiano’s flawless work, brilliant suggestions (that made my ideas better) and unfailing professionalism. He and his crew were always—and I mean always—on time. They always cleaned up after themselves, and were pleasant to have around. Jorge was particularly helpful to me with design and color choices. They were incredibly patient and were adaptable and reassuring. Fabiano always picked up the phone or got back to me ASAP, as well as responding to texts promptly. All the niceness wouldn’t matter though if his work wasn’t gorgeous—and it is! This is why I kept finding more for him to do. He and Jorge are among the nicest, finest people I have ever met. There were unforeseen difficulties at home, and they managed to keep going throughout. You cannot do better! Call FSB Contractors now!!

Fabiano is extremely professional and responsive. We contacted him to build a deck and he immediately followed up by walking us through the different alternatives to build it and driving us to the lumber so we could actually see what the materials looked like. Once we agreed on the price and signed the contract (all at his initiative, which again shows his professionalism) he committed to a 2-week construction period. Needless to say, he delivered, and these two weeks included two inspections in between which necessarily slowed him down. Not only he delivered in time, but with the highest quality. He has great attention to detail and he is really proactive, always suggesting great ideas to improve the work if needed. For example, we had to add a few steps from the door to the deck and he built those beautifully with wood on all sides rather than simply a straight piece of wood with no corners. In the end, he added his extra expertise and went beyond the architect’s plans in order to deliver exactly what we wanted. I cannot recommend him enough.

FSB did a complete redesign/renovation of our kitchen and bath. Amazing attention to detail and incredibly responsive. Fabiano and his guys far exceeded all of our expectations and I would immediately turn to him if we were to have any additional renovation needs. These guys are full service, from creating the design to following through in making it exactly as it was planned, listening to our desires and making sure to explain all possible options and limitations that could lie ahead. The end was everything and more than we were hoping for. You made us very happy and proud of our new kitchen & bath. Thank you!

Fabiano and his team did an amazing job renovating our kitchen. He deftly guided us throughout the process, easily solving any issues that arose. The finished product looks amazing and was very professionally done. He was reasonably priced, and stuck to the budget outlined at the beginning of the project. He went above and beyond to communicate with us at all stages. They even finished ahead of schedule! Can’t recommend Fabiano enough!

Fabiano and his team of workers are very professional, respectful and meticulous with their work! He just renovated my kitchen and family room and we love it! Fabiano is very organized with his payment plan which is clearly written in his contract and there is no guesswork when it comes to paying. He is creative in his ideas and very open to adjusting things when we changed our mind. I highly recommend Fabiano and his crew of workers...they always entered my home with a smile and ready to work!!! We missed them when they were done...including my dog who loved Fabiano so much!!!

If you need to hire a contractor, hire FSB. FSB has done several projects for me (I won’t use anyone else) including, most recently, my kitchen ... gut to installed in 60 days. They stayed on schedule and on budget. The worksite is always clean which I appreciate because it is my home, and they are prompt and trustworthy. This is the Dream Team.

Fabiano was wonderful. He listened, he gave great advice, he did a beautiful job. He stayed as close to schedule as the local inspectors would allow and indeed he correctly estimated the amount of delay that they would cause! (Only a week, it all turned out fine). We would recommend him to anyone and will use him again when we can do our next project.

Fabiano and his crew great. They were flexible, organized, clean, respectful and had great taste in helping us with design choices any time we couldn’t decide. What’s more, they took the time to walk us through how to do some things on our own and even made extra time to hang out with our kids when they showed interest in the project. They opened up a wall for us, gutted a powder room and mud room and helped us update our kitchen without causing a disturbance in our hectic lives. All the work came out beautifully and we’ll end up using them in the future as we decide to do more work on our house.

I hired Fabiano and his crew after receiving quotes from two other top contractors in the area through Houzz. Out of them, Fabiano's quote came out to be the best value and within budget. I needed to demo a closet/wall that had a conduit holding electric lines inside of it (which also needed to be relocated), and also demo and refloor most of my condo unit. After receiving the initial quote, Fabiano and his team took only 2.5 weeks (a couple of weeks earlier than I was expecting) from start to finish, and I could not be happier. He dealt with all of the condo and property management policies professionally, and was extremely communicative and responsive to any concerns that I brought up throughout the time. I even requested to get new sheetrock, ceiling fan, shoe molding, two toilets, and vanity cabinet installed as a new work order, which Fabiano and his team finished in a few days. Fabiano bundled all of these items together for a deal and offered to do some of the installation at no additional cost. He even sanded the sheetrock after I mentioned that I was planning to paint. The quality of the reno work is excellent and Fabiano and his team's many years of experience and professionalism definitely show through their work. I will be going to FSB Contracting for any of my future home improvement projects, and I'd highly recommend them for any contracting work. Thanks Fabiano!!

We are extremely happy to have found FSB Contracting. We remodeled our entire kitchen, removed a bathroom, and built a laundry room. Fabiano and his amazing crew (shout-out to George!) were efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and diligent. The work was completed on time and to the highest standards. We hope to use Fabiano for any and all future projects, and we highly recommend him.

We hired Fabiano to install hardwood floors on two levels, sand and finish several rooms, install new baseboards, and amend waste and plumbing line issues. Fabiano was timely in his work and we are very pleased with the results. Not only was his pricing reasonable, he was friendly, professional, and very responsive to all of our questions and requests. Through out the process, he demonstrated his comprehensive understanding of the building codes and the inspection process. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and we would use FSB contracting again in the future.

Fabiano is a diamond in the rough! He and his team renovated two bathrooms for us in our main house, and also added a half bath. Then they did a gut-reno of our 1BR garden apartment, including a new floor, full kitchen, full bath, laundry room, and custom-made barn door. The best thing about Fabiano was his positive attitude and willingness to tackle every task. We really valued his honesty and upfront approach to doing business.

FSB Contracting epitomizes true craftsmanship and sheer professionalism. From the moment we reached out to Fabiano (Owner & President of FSB Contracting) to scheduling a free consultation to when he handed us the Certificate of Occupancy (CO), Fabiano was easy to work with, innovative, skilled, thorough, efficient and highly diligent in all aspects of our major kitchen renovation. We met with/consulted, in essence interviewed over a dozen contractors and Fabiano made it an easy decision for us. We had some quirks to work through given our original kitchen layout and he was the only one to offer some unique ideas filled with ingenuity to make our kitchen a truly functional one. Speed Without Compromising Quality: Absolutely stellar! Fabiano was at our home every day alongside his team rolling up his sleeves working on the kitchen. His intimidate knowledge of every square foot of our kitchen and just the right amount of supervision while working on the renovation was refreshing to see! Coordination of Electrician & Plumber: Simply seamless! Fabiano's stayed on top of all moving pieces like a master orchestral composer. With each passing day as we braced ourselves for an unforeseen hiccup or issue, we were relieved and quite honestly a bit shocked (in a good way of course) when nothing even hinting this came to fruition. You could tell he has established great synergy, chemistry and rapport with the Electrician and Plumber he chooses to collaborate with and that he demands and expects excellence from them. By that same token it's easy through their craftsmanship to see they are sure to meet and exceed the expectations that Fabiano sets forth of them, thereby delivering an unparalleled finished product that clearly aligns with Fabiano's Team's mission and values. Day or night Fabiano was always a quick text message or phone call away and always highly responsive. He's a great listener which enables him to truly understand the needs of his clients and improving our quality of life through a flawless kitchen renovation. He exudes confidence and will be sure to treat your home as if it was his own. Fabiano does not want to simply do a good job, he strives for excellence and anyone can see, he certainly attained it! Cannot recommend FSB Contracting enough!

Fabiano and his team were fantastic - excellent workmanship and attention to detail. Fabiano was always reliable and extremely professional. When we encountered unexpected issues, he communicated clearly with me and always offered reasonable solutions. I have already recommended Fabiano to numerous friends.

Fabiano of FSB Contracting is a true professional. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. His work is of the highest quality. His attention to detail and the aesthetics of the job make his work exceptional. He communicates the progress of the job and is on top of the permits and inspections required. He got the job done in the time frame he committed to. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Huge thanks to FSB Contracting! We absolutely love our newly renovated bathroom!!! Fabianno and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They are flexible, professional and innovative. This was our first home renovation, and we couldn’t have chosen a better contractor. Fabianno filed the permits for us, started the job immediately thereafter, kept the place very clean despite having to gut the entire bathroom, managed to come up with solutions for the unexpected, and did a beautiful job laying the new tiles, marble and hardware. He also recommended and supervised the electrician and plumber who both provided great service at competitive prices. Throughout the process, Fabianno always went the extra mile, and delivered us a high-quality product. He was transparent and on a timeline, just like us! We HIGHLY recommend him. Gabbie & Adrian

Fabiano just completed a gut renovation of our master bathroom. He did an entry bath for us about 4 years ago. Fabiano is a total professional and I wouldn't use anyone else for renovations in our home. He has good ideas, is honest, flexible, unflappable. His team is hardworking and pleasant to have around. They keep things clean and well organized. I highly recommend him. Jill Feuerstein

I had worked with FSB several years earlier on another project and, consequently, was eager to work with FSB again. If anything, I found FSB's handling of this project to be even better than the first time around. His crew was very professional and the neighbors and building superintendent (the project is in a condominium) were unanimous in their reviews of their conduct. Fabiano was always on time for our meetings, took time out of his weekends to meet with me at the tile store & condo, and showed an interest in the ultimate result that I don't think most contractors would ever display. The result was 5 stars.

I highly recommend Fabiano for your home renovation projects. While home renovation is stressful, Fabiano eased the stress with his organization, professionalisum, and clear explanations of process, payment, and scheduling. The work done in my home looks beautiful. Fabiano is detail oriented and takes pride in each piece of the project. That's hard to find someone who manages all components of a renovation project with such great care and success. Fabiano is the guy.

I highly recommend Fabiano and his team. We recently renovated a bathroom. Quality workmanship, attention to detail, respectful and easy to work with. Job completed on budget and efficiently.

FSB Contracting did a kitchen and powder room upgrade for us. Very competitively priced and eager to work with us throughout the process. Kept us informed on progress and any issues that came up. Has a one year warranty on his work and honored said warranty promptly when a couple minor repairs came up a couple months later. A nice bonus was the wonderful wood work he created. He made new window frames and a radiator cover that we have gotten many compliments on. Would definitely recommend and we'll be reaching out on upcoming projects.

I hired FSB to build a bathroom in my new home. From the beginning to the end of the project I found the entire experience excellent. FSB led me through every step of the process, so I always understood exactly what was being done. The bathroom was built exactly as I envisioned. The owner, Fabiano, was always there to explain the next stage of the project. He was willing to do whatever was necessary to expedite the construction. I would highly recommend FSB for any future construction work.

I used FSB contracting to completely demo and renovate my home. The team was fast, organized, clean, and stayed within budget. They had creative solutions to problems that came up. I am very happy with the way my house looks. I give FSB my highest recommendation and would use them again in the future.

Fabiano and his team did an amazing job on our kitchen renovation. From the first day that we met to talk about the job he was a true professional and extremely patient throughout with the thousands of questions that I asked. The team was always at the house on time and I was shocked at what they were able to accomplish in such short time with care and quality. Great people, very detail oriented, and I would absolutely hire them again for future projects.

I have used FSB many times for big and small projects. Fabiano is consistently professional, honest, accommodating, and easy to work with. The ultimate product is always both as promised and excellently done. Most importantly, Fabiano brings creativity to the planning and often has unique, creative and perfect solutions to challenging design issues. Our projects have included kitchen, bathrooms, basement and outdoor remodeling.

Fabiano and his team recently completed a gut renovation of our master bathroom. Our experience was extremely positive and we have already recommended him to several friends. There are a few areas where FSB really stands out: 1) Customer service: Fabiano is extremely professional, well organized and able to complete the work in a timely manner without disrupting his customer's day-to-day life. 2) Quality of work: FSB's finished product is outstanding. Anything that wasn't perfect was immediately fixed and we could not be happier with the results. Photos are under 'Larchmont Master Bath.' 3) Responsiveness: It still amazes me how quickly Fabiano responds to e-mails or requests. He's also very willing to work with permitting parties, material suppliers and subs so that the process is totally seamless. 4) Reasonable Pricing: Fabiano does an excellent job scoping projects and prices jobs as though he is trying to build a long-term relationship. Honestly, I would offer more superlatives but I want to make sure that he is available for a few other upcoming projects.

Fabiano Banhara is the ultimate professional and I highly recommend him. Fabiano has been working for my family for many years, but I just enjoyed my first experience with him and his top notch team. Fabiano helped with several projects at my new home including building a window seat, customizing a bookshelf/TV area, creating and installing a beautiful barn door, replacing doors, building shelving, installing TVs on brackets, replacing fixtures and switches, etc. He was creative, coming up with ideas and making recommendations based on his years of experience. He worked seamlessly with our painters and was flexible, reliable, communicative and ultimately delivered for us at a fair price. You would be lucky to have Fabiano and his team oversee work on your next home project!

FSB Contracting is simply the best contractor I have ever used (and I have been through a lot of them!). Their bid for the job was reasonable, they showed up on time, completed the project exactly according to plan, and also on time, and within budget, and left my apartment clean and spotless. They made a few suggestions to me regarding paint and colors, which turned out to be better than what I had proposed, and even did some complimentary little touch-ups, for no additional charge. So their judgment is spot-on, and they are perfectly easy and pleasant to deal with. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I have had the chance to work with a few contractors in southern Westchester County and Fabiano and FSB Contracting was far and away the best experience I have had. From start to finish Fabiano was professional and respectful for the 12 days that he was renovating our bathroom. Throughout the process Fabiano was easy to communicate with and willing to discuss the work to be done. He openly listened to ideas, but also provided guidance and suggestions, though he consistently let us know that we were the client and he would do whatever we wanted. This was incredibly refreshing as many contractors with whom I have worked seemed to have their own agenda or ideas as to how something should be completed, and never once did I get that feeling from Fabiano. Each and every day Fabiano and his team arrived early and left the house spotless at the end of their work day. The attention to detail that they put into each day is clear in the end product. On a number of occasions Fabiano went above and beyond the scope of what we had discussed to make sure that the bathroom was perfect, which in the end it was. In the end working with Fabiano and FSB contracting was an enjoyable experience and he put my faith back in the idea that there are good honest contractors out there who do fantastic work and take pride in the outcome. He even followed up with us in the weeks to follow to make sure that everything was still in great shape and to make sure that we were as happy as they day he left. On a side note: Fabiano was great in helping me get paper work together as my family lives in a community that requires board approval for work to be completed. Not only was he willing to work in this environment, but he got me the paperwork the same day it was requested. Secondly, he completed 10 of the 12 days while a sick 5 month old was being cared for at times in the home. The care he took to make sure that the environment was suitable for the baby when he was in the home was incredible. The thoughtfulness along with the care he showed to our son was equal to the care that he took in completing our renovation. Moving forward, FSB Contracting and Fabiano will be the only person with whom I work to complete renovations in our home!

We bought a 100 year old house which needed updating and tailoring to our needs. I interviewed 5 contractors until I met Fabiano, whom I had found through Houzz. The first impression carried through 4 months of contracting work: Fabiano is neat in appearance and in his work, plus he enjoys what he is doing. He is prompt and responsive and definitely wants to get you the best deal for your money. He has experience and often offers clever solutions. He does not run off to the next job, but wants his customer to be happy and will return till all work is finished. I would definitely hire Fabiano again and can highly recommend him!

I would totally reccomend FSB Contracting. They do great work!! Not only were they good but they worked fast and kept eveything neat and clean. I received a proposal for the job and there were no additional costs in the end.

Fabiano and FSB Construction were unbelievable to work with. They completed the job on time and on budget. Extremely respectful of our home and cleaned up at the end of each day. Fabiano was on the job everyday, was extremely accessible, and made the whole master bathroom project as stressless as possible. We would definitely recommend and use them again. Eva and Ed Beane

Simply outstanding! We hired FSB Contracting (Fabiano) for a kitchen renovation, as well as some smaller projects around our house, such as installation of crown moulding, window replacement, exterior wall work (due to water damage), and painting. Fabiano was extremely reliable and responsive, made excellent suggestions when we faced some surprises, and stuck to his time table. He was always realistic with timing - never over-promising, and quick to give us a heads-up if something needed to be rearranged. His team was always careful to straighten up and was as mindful of us (and our two young children) as possible after we moved in. He is meticulous and very detail-oriented. Fabiano is a true professional. We were extremely pleased with the work he did and look forward to using his team again for our bathroom renovation!

"Service with a smile" prefectly describes FSB Contracting. The owner--Fabiano-- is a wonderful person and a consumate professional. If you've had nightmares with other contractors, be prepared for the dream when you hire FSB Contracting. My wife and I knew Fabiano because he had done some work on her parents' house. We had him remodel our bathroom, but were so pleased with the results that we kept him on to remodel the kitchen, dining room, and three bedrooms, the front hall, and the sunroom. We truly are "The House that Fabiano Built," and we have never regretted it. Our last Fabiano project, the tear-down of our existing, crumbling cement porch and the building of a completely new one, is the crowning jewel of our remodel effort. Fabiano stands behind his work. Six years after the bathroom remodel, one of the ceiling lights went a little balky. I texted Fabiano. Presto! Two days later he arrived at 8:30 a.m. Problem solved! My motto? Fabiano is peace of mind.

We first worked with Fabiano (FSB) seven years ago on a major renovation (kitchen and two bathrooms). He was a pleasure to work with: highly professional and very skilled in all phases of a large and complex project. We have since hired him for a number of smaller projects, including two that involved emergencies. The work has always been impeccable. Fabiano always provides us with cost estimates before starting a project. And he sticks to them. He also will not hesitate to recommend against doing something if there is an easier or less expensive method of achieving the desired result. In our 40 years of home ownership Fabiano is the most accomplished and reliable contractor we have ever worked with.

I have used Fabiano Banhara for various home imporvement projects large and small for about 8 years, including a complete bathroom remodeling with vintage-appearing tilework, an outdoor drainage project, roofing, and most recently, wood floor restoration and interior wall/ceiling repair and painting. He is excellent in every respect: meticulous, time-efficient, clean, punctual, and reasonably priced. He is extremely trustworthy, and I have never had a problem leaving him the key to the house for work to be done in my absence. Highly, highly recommended.

Fabiano has done work for us on several occasions and it has always been top quality at a reasonable price. And what a terrific guy to boot! For the record, this review was unsolicited.

FSB Contracting aka "Fabiano"has worked with us for several years dating back to the present. It is difficult to categorize his abilities, expertise, quality and committment. During our association with this fine man we learned what intregrity, timelessness, caring and respect really mean. He has always been true to his word and then some. The various projects he created and completed for us were always within budget and on time. The craftsmanship of his personal attention to every aspect of the various projects and that of his associates were always first rate. It is without hesitation in every respect we would enthusiastically recommend Fabiano and his team for any project.

In the last 12 years, Fabiano of FSB Contracting has done several projects including 6 1/2 baths, a kitchen and deck extension. I highly recommend him because: 1) His prices are fair for a very high standard of work . He quotes a price and does not continually add extras. 2) He is very reliable, working full days and turning up when he says he is going to. As a result, he completes projects to schedule. 3) He is completely trustworthy. I felt happy leaving him at the house, while I was at work. 4) He is courteous, always presentable and leaves the site clean and tidy every day. 5) He offers very creative and practical solutions to problems, which is helpful when there are a lot of decisons to make. I have been very happy with Fabiano's work and have attached photos of several of his projects

Fabiano is the best contractor I have ever worked with. He renovated my dental office from start to finish. Numerous patients have told me that our office is now the most beautiful office they have ever been to. Fabiano is extremely professional, polite, and courteous. I will NEVER work with another contractor again. Fabiano, you are the BEST!!!

I can't begin to express how thrilled I am with the job that FSB Contracting did on my basement remodel. I hired FSB to update a tired, dated basement and ended up with one of the most gorgeous rooms in my entire house, all thanks to Fabiano's immense talent. Fabiano, the owner of FSB, approached the entire project with great enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge - he is by far the most dependable and professional contractor I have ever worked with (and I've renovated four homes). Fabiano helped me tweak my original remodel plan in order to meet my budget constraints without sacrificing quality or style. Fabiano started and finished on time and within the budget - he also personally guided me in the selection of the core materials needed for the project, like new windows and doors. He was always willing to double check every detail imaginable so that my project stayed on track. What is most impressive about Fabiano is that he's not only a spectacular contractor but a true artist. When I couldn't find a barn door I liked, he designed and custom built a gorgeous barn door that is the highlight of the room. The room is decorated in an industrial modern style, and Fabiano came up with a brilliant idea to use old wooden wine crates, which he had found, as shelves in the office nook - his finishing touch was "aging" them with a torch to give them a weathered look that works absolutely perfectly in the space. He makes sure that every detail is perfect before leaving the job and is always available to answer questions and brainstorm ideas, and he's always in a great mood, because he clearly loves his work. It's this kind of commitment to a project and attention to detail that simply sets FSB apart from the rest!

Very conscientious - meticilous to detail- extremely professional His word his is bond- very unusual for contractors. May be considered a little on the high side from a cost stand point but the comfort level of a job being done correctly- with put short cuts and being neat far out weigh the little additional cost He backs up his work and I would never/ have never hesitated to recommend him for any type of work Have used him on numerous projects As said a real professional
