Fonesi Construction

Look at 32 reviews for Fonesi Construction going back to 2020 and you won't find a single complaint — the story is bathroom guts and precision tile, the kind of work that gets a homeowner calling Leo Fonesi back for a fourth or fifth project. The Hyannis general contractor, self-reported as running since 2018, works kitchen, bathroom and structural remodeling for Cape Cod homes, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The specific jobs tell the real story. In an August 2022 review, one homeowner described gutting a tub bathroom down to the studs — moving a wall, adding a pocket door, open shelving, a new vanity, medicine cabinet, shower door and exhaust fan — all fit to the room's odd dimensions. In a July 2022 review, Leo and crew member Eduardo demolished an entire tile shower and rebuilt the pan, floor and walls from scratch. Tile shows up again and again: a 2023 HomeAdvisor review describes installing expensive glass tile with quality kept up while working efficiently, and a May 2024 review details a full tiling project across an entrance hall, guest bath and laundry room with what the customer called flawless communication from Leo throughout. One homeowner has hired the company for five separate projects over the years and keeps sending friends its way; a working designer says she's used Fonesi for a wide variety of jobs over multiple years. Google shows a 5.0-star average from 33 ratings, and HomeAdvisor — where the company carries an Approved badge — shows a 100% five-star record across 13 reviews. The written history has a real gap: eight of the reviews in the record date to 2020 and early 2021, describing the same kind of tile and bathroom work, so the pattern isn't a recent streak — it runs the length of the company's history. Only one review landed in the last six months, but it's positive, and nothing in the record — old or new — describes a problem. For a bathroom gut renovation or a tile-heavy remodel on the Cape, this is a deep, consistent track record to build a decision on.
