PERSONAL WORK

TEAMWORK
We understand the need for effective
communication and teamwork.
Designer: Joni Davis
Interiors
WORKS is the name I chose to represent my company because I personally
enjoy working with all types of building materials. It is my goal to provide
quality home improvement services that suit your specific needs. To do this,
I have put together a team that takes pride in our work, strives to provide
the highest level of craftsmanship on every project, understands the need
for efficiency, and is committed to good communication and teamwork.
The in-house services provided by WORKS include additions, complete
remodeling, property maintenance, rot problems, concrete work, framing,
decks, small roofing projects, skylight installation, window & door installation,
all flooring types, custom carpentry, bathrooms, kitchens, interior and exterior
painting, minor electrical and plumbing work. We also provide thermal imaging,
which reads the temperature inside of walls to determine if there is improper
insulation, water damage, electrical and/or plumbing problems.
If there is a rush to complete the job or if adjunctive services would be more
beneficial for our customers’ needs, we are more than happy to suggest the
use of trusted subcontractors. We have long standing, collaborative relationships with architects, interior designers, electricians, plumbers, masons, tile
professionals, plasterers and Venetian plasterers, cabinetmakers, roofers, landscape designers, landscape contractors, and excavators. We would be happy
to recommend their top-quality services on any project where these additional
services may be appropriate. References are always available upon request.
I look forward to working with you on your next project.

REMODELING
Step 8 – Prepare walls for painting; begin painting
Step 9 – Plumbing and electrical work completed
Step 10 – Complete painting; install accessories and miscellaneous hardware
At Works our goal is to exceed our clients’ expectations regarding
quality of work, service, and finished product. A key part to
meeting your expectations is running an efficient job. This requires
a smooth flow of information from you to us and vice versa.
Remodeling jobs can very easily become bogged down in the
details, thus it is important that decisions are made in a timely
manner and clear goals are set. We want to work with you to
create your ideal project, and the better you can communicate
your visions for the finished product the better equipped we will
be to create it.
Before
The following is the order of operations for a typical remodeling
project.
Step 11 – Schedule final inspections; perform touch-ups and miscellaneous finish work
Each project is unique. Therefore, these steps should be viewed as a general guideline for
how we work. Additional items such as custom shelving or cabinetry, special order fixtures,
detailed trim work, and changes to the project scope may change our order of operations.
We emphasize this as a general guideline because, especially in older homes, there can be
issues such as out of level framing, rot, or insufficient structure that must be corrected before
installing new finishes.
It is important to us that you are happy through all stages of your project, and we will do our
best to keep your project on budget and on schedule.
Step 1 – Obtain all necessary permits; perform required
demolition; complete any necessary framing
Step 2 – Plumbers and electricians install rough materials
Step 3 – Necessary inspections are scheduled (reliant
upon city/town inspection schedule)
Step 4 – Insulation and drywall installed
Step 5 – Plastering completed
Step 6 – Flooring installed
Step 7 – Trim and baseboard completed

CRAFTSMANSHIP
We will provide the best of our
craftsmanship on each and every project.
KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS
WORKS has completed many kitchen and bathroom
projects. Whether you are interested in a complete
tear down and rebuild or just a surface remodel, we
will deliver a beautiful finished project. We can work
from detailed architectural drawings, sketches from
our clients, or even verbal descriptions.
“Jesse DeBenedictis is an honest, talented and very
accommodating contractor. Jesse has completed
numerous projects for us and we have found his
work to be of the highest quality craftsmanship.
Jesse is extremely conscientious and hardworking.
While renovating our kitchen, Jesse took our space
down to bare bones and reconstructed a beautiful
and efficient work space. He was always upfront
when dealing with us regarding time and cost. He
performed within budget and agreed upon schedule
unless unusual circumstances arose in the project.
Jesse and his crew were tidy, courteous and
delightful to work with. We would highly recommend
Jesse for any project...”

USEFUL INFORMATION
Encountering Rot
Discovering rot in your home can be a very troublesome experience. Rot
can be deceiving, many times it will only show on the exterior of a home,
with a rotted piece of siding, trim, gutter, or even a small leak. In many
cases rot may not look very serious on the exterior, but it is what is
beneath the paint and behind the wall that is the real concern. Once we
have exposed the area and discovered the full extent of the damage we
will make repairs in a manner that treats the cause of the rot. Then we
will protect the material with the proper flashing and sealants. As always,
we will communicate effectively to address any issues that arise during
construction and keep you involved in all decision-making.
“...Jesse and his crew did a great job and far exceeded my expectations.
They were professional and hard working and were thorough at detecting
unknown problems and fixing them the right way.”

EXCELLENT WORK

BILLING PROCESS
Prior to the start of the job, we will present you with a written estimate
that summarizes the project. Charges for labor, materials and subcontractors
will be listed separately.
We believe that charging our clients by the hour is the most honest and
efficient way to ensure a quality job.
Everything will be discussed before the start of each job and all of your
questions will be addressed. If there is a significant change in the project
and you would like a revised estimate or a change order form, we will
be happy to provide one.
