    Franco Balducci was hired to replace an old staircase. After a very timely and quality completion, I continued his service to replace two retaining walls and lastly to build a large carport. I am completely satisfied and recommend him to anyone requiring carpentry work of any sort. He is versitile, professional, capable and trustworthy. It was nice to hire someone and not worry about competency or cutting corners. He performed as if he was working on his own home.

    Mr. Balducci was first of all fairly priced and very knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done. He was mindful to inform us of the next step in the process of rebuilding the front stairs and did extra work without the extra cost. Balducci did a really good job for us and stayed true to the estimate given. I really liked his honest and generous character.

    The job was not done right and I had to hire another contractor to fix the problem. Overall this job costed me a lot more than it should have. My advice to others is to talk to a few contractors, ask them for the details of how they would do the job and make sure the correct procedure is followed by the one the hire.

    Response from Company:

    homeowner has a mental disability I explain the scope of work before start the work correct procedure was to be more than he could afford it he read contract & signed I did work to meet minimum required after job completion customer realized he should have agree to the bigger scope of work Definitely a language barrier & comprehension problem the work value was $ 450. client kept a can of paint worth $100 that I sold to him half the cost he decided to keep the can

    It is nice to work with someone who goes through the details of the work he is doing and NOT cut corners. Balducci did a wonderful job replacing my steps and took special care to do everything properly including the parts that get covered up. Balducci is also a very good down to earth guy and very hard working. He was by far the best contractor I've done business with.

    Mr. Balducci was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was punctual, hard-working, very reasonably priced, and kept me apprised of his progress at every point. My house is 50 years old, so there were many surprises in the old workmanship, but he found ways to make me a better staircase that still fits in with the style of my home, and I would recommend him to anyone. I plan to use him again for some Springtime projects. A very satisfying experience, and just a very pleasant and engaging man to work with, in general. Two thumbs up!

    Franco Balducci did excellent work creating beautiful wood railings for the front stairway to our Victorian gothic revival home. He was prompt, communicative,personable, and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him!

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
