Extremely happy that I went with DeFaria Construction to renovate our half bathroom. What I appreciated most about working with Luiz is that him and his crew were honest, reliable and they really cared about the details that were important to me! Everyday they came as scheduled and every evening…
Luiz has been doing construction for us for close to 20 years. Large jobs are small. He does excellent work and we’re always very pleased with it. His quotes are always very reasonable. I would highly recommend him.
Very professional, efficient and thorough. They are extremely attentive to details and are fast-paced. Best contractor I’ve worked with!
