A Cape condo resident had a list of about a dozen small tasks and, in a June 2026 review, wrote that they couldn't find a tradesman interested in the work — until Fornalski Construction cleared the whole list in four or five days. That mix is what the South Yarmouth crew is built around: punch-list carpentry one week, a bathroom taken back to studs the next. The company says brothers Sergio and Gabriel Fornalski started it almost five years ago, after Sergio did finish carpentry on a general contractor's crew around the Cape, and that it stays family-run. You will see the name written both ways, Fornalski Construction and 4nalski. On Google it holds a 5.0 average across 41 ratings. The jobs customers describe run the width of a carpentry-led remodeler. In June 2026 a homeowner had a bulkhead replaced and rotted steps rebuilt; in July 2026 another had a shed demolished and a new one built, and a third had the decking boards on a two-step entry replaced. A June 2026 customer listed shutters, garage doors, trim work and painting on the outside of their house; another that month had a wall at the top of the stairs taken down and a railing put in, with hardwood flooring patched and crown molding added in a bedroom. The fussier carpentry shows up too. In a February 2026 review, a homeowner said Sergio's crew replaced the original exterior trim on their 90-year-old house with PVC, matching the crown molding and the other details. In a May 2025 review, a customer wrote that Sergio answered a text within two days, sent a quote two days later, and had a crew there the following week to replace the wooden shingles on one side of the house. A 2025 reviewer hired them to replace 15 windows. Communication is what customers name most often. A June 2026 homeowner said Gabriel gave them a schedule and kept them up to date on progress until completion; an August 2026 customer said everything was put in writing as well as spoken, and the company did what it said it would. A July 2026 reviewer said the estimate was accurate and honored and the work finished on time. Pricing draws the words transparent and fair — that from a May 2026 customer — and a March 2026 small bathroom renovation was described as quality work at a reasonable price. They are busy, as a May 2026 customer said while thanking them for fitting a small job in, so plan on booking ahead. Their Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. For Cape Cod work where the carpentry is the point — trim that has to match an old house, a deck, built-ins, a bathroom rebuilt — this is a straightforward call, and small jobs are not brushed off. Get the written estimate up front, and settle the start date and which brother is running your job before the crew arrives.
They work was first quality. The price was reasonable. Everything was communicated to me both verbally and in writing. They did everything they said they would. Very happy.
The team at Fornalski was great to work with. The communication was timely, estimate accurate / honored, & work was done on-time as promised. The task was removal & replacement of a new set of decking boards for a 2 step entry way. Everything was picked up & the job site was clean upon completion. Love the way everything came out. Will definitely call them again when the next need arises.
They demolished an outdoor shed and built a new shed. The new shed is wonderful. They cleaned up. The work was done on time and everyone was pleasant. I would highly recommend them and will use them for future projects.
Fornalski Construction replaced a bulkhead and did some carpentry work to replace rotted steps. They did a great job. Gabriel is very reliable, responsive and attentive to details. It was a pleasure to find a company with a crew like this. Thank you!
Work performed by 4Nalski included repairs to exterior of home, shutters installation, installation of garage doors, trim work and painting. Very responsive with all aspects of the job, completed the work efficiently and reasonably. I’m thrilled with the end result!
