Methodical, accurate, comprehensive, high quality. These are only a few of the words I would use to describe the work done for us by L.O. Fongemie and Sons. Christian is an artisan in his work, sharing everything he does along the way. At every step in the process he would explain exactly what he was doing, why he was doing it, and explained all of our options to consider.. We had major issues with our home due to initial design and construction flaws. The required repairs were extensive and required a craftsman of great expertise. His workmanship was exceptional. We are so grateful for the work Christian did. We would recommend him with the strongest convictions.
I had to have a 30 yr old spiral staircase removed and the floor and joists restored. The original installed cut a lot of corners. LeFongemie carpenter was fabulous. A reasonable all inclusive price. Took away all the trash. Used quality materials, moved existing utility services, restored the floor and best of all thoroughly cleaned up even the yard where sawdust debris was!! Thanks so much for quality tradesman! Definitely going to is him again.
Very happy with the work performed and the overall experience working with this company. A quote was provided quickly, helpful suggestions were shared to make my project proceed more smoothly, the work was performed on time, and all communication was timely and clear.
He reached out to me based on a job request form I completed online. I tried him back several times but got no response. Maybe he found higher paying jobs, but have the courtesy to at least respond or you risk looking like the egocentric contractor that you are.
Christian is very reliable and responsible. He did a very good job of installing my doors. I highly recommend him. I will hire him again.
