TESTIMONIALS

It is my pleasure to recommend LaFace Construction, Inc. Joe and JoJo LaFace represent the best aspects of a family business. They care deeply about their work and the relationships that they develop with their clients. Our project was a small but detailed remodel that required coordination with many trades and a deep attention to detail. Both Joe and JoJo understand what needs to be done, and they keep a very clean, orderly and calm jobsite. We are very happy with the project and the quality of their work.

Joe, Annmarie and the team were truely exceptional to work with. Detailed oriented and conscientious, we knew right away that this was a team we could trust. They make complicated projects easy and are relentless guardians of that most scarce resource: your time!

We have undertaken a number of renovation projects globally and have worked with many different architects and construction companies over the years. When we decided to completely upgrade our house in Southampton (we took the house down to the studs) we engaged Joe Laface Construction. The team of Joe LaFace  and son JoJo were excellent across all stages of the work, they brought in top tradesmen (carefully orchestrating and co-ordinating  the large and varied group of sub-contractors), provided valued advice and input throughout and delivered overall topnotch quality. We would be remiss not to mention Annmarie LaFace who supports the team and is a great pleasure to work with. We could not be more pleased with the end result and importantly the house has stood the test of time. We would highly recommend Joe and son for any building project (large or small) you undertake.

My wife Dorothy and I have owned our home in Quogue for more than 22 years.  For most of those years we fumbled around with a legion of vendors of varying degrees of competency to perform all kinds of work around the house and property.  But it was not until four years ago when we were introduced to Joe Laface did we really understand what excellence was.  Joe LaFace has become a good friend, borne out of our association together in renovating the interior and exterior of our home; new kitchen, bathrooms, floors, staircase railing, laundry room/pantry and all the lighting, electric and plumbing that accompanies all of that work. 

 

Good is enough is not good enough for Joe LaFace.  Joe is an impeccable person, himself a craftsman and contractor who takes pride in getting every aspect and detail of every job to perfection.  He is all about getting it done perfectly.  All of Joe’s sub-contractors must meet his high standards or they no longer will be working for Joe.  I cannot imagine working with anyone else, ever.  We highly recommend Joe LaFace if you want your work done right the first time.

"Said simply, LaFace Construction can be trusted every step of the way.  Joe is a skilled and experienced craftsman who has high expectations of himself and his sub-contractors, and this shows not only in the end product but also during construction where our job site was impeccably clean at all times.  We now consider the LaFace family dear friends on the other side of working with them, and we cannot recommend them more highly."

-Jeff & Juliana Battaglia

Honest, hardworking and dedicated to their craft—that’s how we would sum up Joe LaFace Construction. The father and son team, Joe LaFace and JoJo, know how to execute with grace. Amid a time of widespread design misfortunes and construction delays, particularly in the Hamptons, Joe and his son defy the trend. They deliver their projects in a timely manner and their work shines through.  That’s old school. Joe LaFace Construction has a solution, or a contact for everything that needs to be done and for that we are grateful.   

-Happy Hampton’s Clients

For anyone thinking of working with Joe LaFace, his wife, Annmarie and their son, JoJo, I am delighted to give the highest recommendation possible for their work as a builder and otherwise as a general contractor.  

 

Quite simply, Joe and his team stand out in the Hamptons as people of their word in terms of the quality of their work; timeliness of delivery; and, fair price.  Over more than 20 years, Joe has built or refurbished for us an additional bedroom, a porch - and, recently a new kitchen... let alone a much needed deck around the pool.  In all cases, he has been completely professional as with others I know whom he has worked

for - and, we were more than satisfied with the outcome.  Additionally, Joe shows up: he stands by his work even after its completed and is always readily available for any additional repairs.

 

Joe, JoJo and Annmarie are not only excellent and fair with their work, they are personally just "good people" whom I'm also proud to call good friends.  In that regard, I am happy to serve as a recommendation for LaFace Construction..

I  have been a customer of LaFace Construction since 2005. From minor repairs, to major renovations Joe and Jo Jo delivered what they  promised, when they promised it. Sounds simple enough but my experiences personally and professionally show it is often the exception, not the rule. Change orders only occurred if there were changes to the contract made by the customer or architect. No changes due to forgetting something or misestimating. LaFace’s estimates are accurate!  

 

Last winter I discovered a roof leak in the middle of winter after a thaw.  JoJo came the same day and found the cause of the leak . The leak was under a roof deck. JoJo oversaw the repair of the roof and rebuilt the deck. The work was done quickly, the work area was clean and the craftsmanship was old school excellence! It's obvious he learned how to do things right but working with his dad all these years. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

"Over the course of 10 years, Joe LaFace has completed multiple projects, large and small, on our home in Amagansett. It is no surprise to us that he is known as one of the best contractors on Long Island. When one finds a contractor as wonderful as Joe, it's as if you have struck gold, and, indeed we have.

The quality of Joe's work is exceptional. He uses only the best subcontractors. He has always completed every project within budget and on time. His attention to detail is beyond incredible. We were kept informed every step of the way without any surprises - ever. And if we ever called him after the project completion, he was immediately there for us, which is certainly not typical.

Joe is trustworthy, kind and professional. He is so pleasant to work with that we are proud to consider him a close family friend.

We have recommended Joe LaFace to many of our friends who have been so grateful, as we are, to have found such an extraordinary contractor."

- Samantha and Adam Silver

"When we asked the seller of our house if he could provide a contractor recommendation, he promised us that Joe was the only person we needed to meet. And, with hindsight, we are sure glad we asked, for Joe is incredibly talented, professional, and hard-working. Furthermore, he is patient while always willing to suggest other practical ideas; his simple goal is to ensure you’re pleased with the end result. His entire team takes great pride in their work, and there’s good reason why every guest has sincerely complimented the craftsmanship of our renovations. It’s impossible to imagine our house without Joe’s efforts, and I could not recommend more highly working with the LaFace’s."

- Jeff

"My wife and I have worked with Joe and Annmarie LaFace and their team at LaFace Construction on a number of projects at our house in Water Mill over the last few years including, most recently, an additional bedroom and a porch. We have always found them to do exceptionally fine work at very reasonable prices along with an ability to bring in all of their work on budget and on time. On a personal level, Joe and Annmarie's integrity is second to none and is exceeded only by their own genuine warmth and desire to make the customer more than satisfied with their work. Indeed, over the years, my wife and I have found ourselves actually looking for projects to do with Joe and Annmarie: they have become more than just great contractors - they are now, also, our dear friends."

- Henry S. Schleiff, President & General Manager, Investigation Discovery, Military and Destination America

It is our pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Joe LaFace and his contracting company, Joseph LaFace Construction Inc. Over the past 8 years, we have worked with Joe on a number of projects for our weekend home in Southampton. Joe and his team have worked on projects large and small, on the inside and outside of our home. Most recently, he completed an extensive gut renovation of the main two floors of our home. Over the past several years, the team also built our deck and pool pavilion, finished our basement, handled the installation of our gutters, and the list goes on. We could not be happier with the results.

In each of the projects, Joe was accurate in his assessments, timelines and projected costs. His direct construction team consisted of experienced, master carpenters. Joe also managed a terrific group of subcontractors. We found the level of craftsmanship and the attention to detail to be exceptionally high. Joe and his team always left the worksite remarkably clean.

Finally, and most importantly, Joe is honest and trustworthy. As we do not live in the Hamptons full time, working with Joe gave us the peace of mind that the work to our home was being done, and being done right. He kept us informed of the progress, and followed through on his promises.

We have recommended Joe to a number of our friends, and each have had similar experiences as us. We feel fortunate to have worked with Joe and highly recommend him.

- Jeff and Rebecca Kim

"I purchased a house in East Hampton a number of years ago primarily for the spectacular deck, pergolas and outdoor construction - all made in beautiful, natural ipe wood, with impeccable details. I learned that Joe and his colleagues had built it all, and I quickly signed them up for subsequent projects including bathroom renovations, painting and hardware replacement. No job is too large or small, and equal amounts of attention and care are given to all work. I now view Joe and his team as 'caretakers' to the house, and never hesitate to involve them in all of our projects, from planning to completion. All the work is done effortlessly, without mess, and on time. I cannot recommend them enough."

- David Toti Senior, Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald

"Joe LaFace did a major renovation for us of a 45 year old house in Southampton. Working closely with our architect, he transformed a dilapidated, unremarkable house into a stunning gem of a home. His work is simply outstanding. Every issue we encountered in the renovation, from mold to rot, he dealt with thoughtfully and successfully. He was incredibly responsive, diligent and has the loyalty of all of his first rate sub-contractors, which allowed the project to proceed timely and flawlessly. His meticulous nature is evident in the beautiful paneling, moldings, screened in porch, cabinets, floors, and exterior work. He is a perfectionist in every respect, which is just what you want in a contractor."

- Kim and Pamela Baptiste

"So far I have worked with Joe on 3 projects, all of which came out beautifully. Trying to manage a project in the Hampton's from the city can be stressful, but Joe makes it so easy! He is accommodating and helpful in every step of the way. He is onsite and actually knows what is going on at all times, which is unfortunately rare for some business owners. He and his skilled group of tradesmen completed each project to perfection. He is friendly and kind and puts clients at ease with his friendly, yet professional, manner. The only problem? Getting more work out east so that I can work with him more!"

- Bella Zakarian Mancini, Bella Mancini Design

As a surgeon, thorough planning, high quality work and timely completion are qualities I look for and that Joe LaFace and his men have consistently delivered.
