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!
