FR Review:
The second-generation is now at the helm of this four-decade-strong contractor. George and Sean Desmond join their father in executing high-end custom construction for residential clients in Fairfield and selected Westchester enclaves like Pound Ridge and Chappaqua. Projects range from $10,000 to $6 million and up. The work includes maintenance and remodels in which "the mixture of preservation and upgrade mesh perfectly" as well as brand new estates. The firm can execute for the most demanding and distinguished architectural masters or help flesh out the details for more conceptual designers. Clients "couldn't be happier with both the work, the people and the two-year follow-up to insure all is well."
One family member is on the job site every day, assisted by a crew of twenty that includes full-time carpenters, foreman and laborers. Clients say they are made to feel like one of the family, with Desmond and crew having gone so far as bringing in the groceries. The firm endeavors to deliver the best project for the best value, and clients agree, "they cut no corners, made no substitutions for specified items unless agreed upon." Contracts are negotiated cost-plus.
Representative Client Comments:
"I worry about people who don't use Desmond." "The Desmonds allowed me, an opinionated artist, to determine plans of visual elements and details and then they enhanced or corrected as advised." "John and his team are professional, knowledgeable, responsive and provide just outstanding workmanship. This historical house is extremely visible in the community and all who see/view it are clearly impressed and inspired by the work that was done." "Their answers to the problems caused by dealing with a 100-plus-year-old structure were considered and correct."
