CACIA CONSTRUCTION

Description of Work: I have used him for years. I know that there are cheaper alternatives, but I had to call him twice to fix what the "less expensive" options messed up, and now I do it right the first time. And then there are the times when Fedele says, your downspouts were clogged; you do not need to fix the roof." He has probably done $40,000 in work for me, over the years, and I was never sorry.

Description of Work: I have a Georgian colonial house. I called Cacia, for the first time, in 2009, when I discovered that six columns in front of the house needed to be replaced. He did a wonderful job, and while I was watching him, I noticed that my wooden gutters were rotting at the corners. He showed me why (they had been tarred, but not lined properly with lead). So, I asked him to fix the gutters and I have had no problems in three years. About a year later, I decided I would fix things gradually, as I could afford them. I had him replace most of the windows in my house. Later, I had him re-tile my kitchen, a job that was complicated by the fact that part of it was tiled in Welsh quarry tiles that were difficult to take up, and other parts, which must have been a butler's pantry 50 years ago and several closets were uneven. It turned out that Cacia had begun as a tile man and then worked with a plasterer, and a roofer, before becoming a carpenter. (He can do almost anything, except slate roofs and, I do not think that he paints). When we decided to change some appliances, I had him open and insulate walls and replaster. A few months later, I had him tile the front of my brick fireplace. This summer, I had him replace my storm doors, and put in skylights. .
