Frank was easy to work with, always very prompt and thorough. He did a nice job of patching and painting ceiling and walls, and removing wall-to-wall carpeting and installing new floor molding in a very old master bedroom, and made it look like new!

We are so impressed with the professional care he took in creating this new, bug-proof living space for us. He obviously takes pride in his craft and aims to make special spaces for his clients. We may use him in another project that we are contemplating, as we are so happy with his work.
Description of Work
We contacted Frank Germano in April with a request for screening in our front porch. He responded within a day of my first message and came a few days later to look over our job. While meeting with us, he made a suggestion that we have him replace the existing wood porch railings with pvc rails, so we would no longer have the chore of painting the wood- a great idea! He emailed us a detailed quote within a few days and his price was exactly what we had estimated the work should cost. The second contractor gave a quote that was almost double Frank's price. Frank was able to fit our small job in between some of his large projects and completed it in just 2.5 days. He installed pressure treated posts and then wrapped the posts in pvc trim boards so the look of the new porch is seamless. He then built custom screen frames for all the areas to be included in the new space. Finally, he hung a screen door for entry to the enclosed portion of the porch.

We're very pleased with our new bathroom. Frank is a one man show. After the first day of demolition he did all the work himself. He arrived promptly at 8am and worked through the day without a break! The whole job was done in 10 days which was right on target. We were very impressed with the quality of Frank's work. He was very easy to work with and discuss any changes needed to be made to the initial work contract. I got estimates from about six contractors before choosing Frank. His price for labor and the construction materials that he would supply was comparable or better than most other contractors. Based on his Angie's List reviews and meeting him in person we felt confident he was the right person for the job.
Description of Work
Total bathroom renovation down to the studs and base floor. Removal of all debris from old bathroom that was fully tiled. Drywall, ceiling and old doors were also discarded. Frank installed new tile for tub and floor, toilet, vanity, sink, lighting/fan, mirror and plumbing fixtures. He also hung new doors, trim and painted everything.

It could NOT have gone better. Frank arrived early every day and focused on the job. At the end of each day, he cleaned up any mess he had made before he left. Each day, we could see progress being made. If he needed any clarification on "our vision", he would ask. Before he started the work, he told us exactly what we needed to purchase (sizes of tub, shower pan, vanity, how much tile, etc) so we could make sure he had what he needed before starting. Nothing was missed. His craftsmanship is top notch as is his attention to detail. Both bathrooms are beautiful!
Description of Work
We completely renovated 2 bathrooms, replacing the tub, shower, vanities, sinks, toilets, etc. Installed new tile on the walls and floors. Changed the plumbing to support the new configuration. Painted and installed new fixtures, mirrors, towel bars, etc. Also installed new flooring in the kitchen.

Frank was great to work with! He helped us with planning, was very organized and kept a neat work area, and was detail oriented. Most importantly, the work he did was of high quality. We love the final results, we proudly show our new bathroom to everyone who visits, and they love it!

Frank was outstanding! He shows up every day at 8AM and works all day long. He cleans up the site at the end of each day and is respectful and friendly while he is working (as is his crew). Both jobs were finished slightly ahead of schedule and they came out awesomely. I design and build custom furniture as a hobby and I have extremely high standards which utimately leave me disappointed with virtually all contractors I have used. This was not the case with Frank; his high level of fit and finish thoroughly impressed me. He knows what he is doing structurally, follows codes well, and builts beautiful things.
Description of Work
Frank built a second-story screened porch, balcony, and stairs for us. He also painted our entire house. (these were two separate jobs, about 10 months apart).

I can't imagine how it could have gone better. I design and build custom furniture as a hobby, which means I can take all the time in the world to make every joint absolutelhy perfect; thus I have pretty high standards. Frank and his crew meet or exceeded my standards in every case. They arrived every morning promptly at 8 AM and worked each day until 4, weather permitting. At the end of each day, the entire site would be cleaned thoroughly before they left. They would pause for a few minutes for lunch (really, just a few minutes) - I have never seen people work more steadily and efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. They finished the job in 4 weeks, just as promised. I really can't say enough about how pleased I am with the results and the process for getting there. Really. Best contractors EVER!!!
