An older Newton house gave Keith Faso more than one kind of repair to solve. In a 2017 review, the homeowner described hiring him three times for work that included rotten window frames, an attic knee wall and added garage support. His carpentry and small home repairs also appear in accounts of doors and cabinets. A 2019 customer said he replaced exterior door weatherstripping and vent covers. In a separate 2017 account, a customer said Keith identified a skylight that needed resealing rather than replacement. A 2020 reviewer described a quick response, work completed efficiently and a charge below the original quote. The detailed written accounts here run from 2010 through 2020; HomeAdvisor and Angi each display 4.9 stars from 26 ratings.

Keith responded to my inquiry quickly. We had a very pleasant conversation and agreed he drop by a couple of hours later. He was prompt, responsive, an excellent listener. He worked efficiently and capably in completing the task and charged me less than he had originally charged.
We cannot recommend Keith more highly. He is extraordinarily competent, conscientious and honest- none of which are common virtues. He is moreover remarkably resourceful- able to swiftly solve whatever complications arise in the course of a project. We were fortunate to discover him- and will hire him again at the next opportunity. We recommend him without reservation.
Keith is EXTREMELY responsive, professional, and focused on quality. Can't recommend him enough!
Keith did a great job at replacing the weatherstripping all around my exterior doors. He also replaced some vent covers high up towards the roof. Very pleasant to work with and did everything right when he said he would. I'd recommend him and hire him again when needed.
Needed someone to find out if there was any leak from the sky light window since we saw some small stain from the inside. I was very pleased to find out all it needed was to reseal the window and not to replace it as suggested by other contractors. we are very impressed with his honesty and plan to hire him again for future projects.
