What Our Clients Say

Everyone I worked with on the team was terrific. Communication was excellent, prompt and timely, giving us nudges as needed to keep the project moving. They accommodated with schedule changes and changes to the project. We were able to keep track of daily progress in the Works by JD Portal while we were away. We would use them again and certainly recommend them. Our kitchen is beautiful, everyone loves the transformation. We are very happy with the end results!

It’s great see how much Jesse cares.  Its admirable that he always wants to help his team and his clients.  Our project had the worst obstacles to success, but The Works by JD guys did really well moving it forward. We are so happy with the outcome.  We love what we got in the end.

When investing tens of thousands of dollars into a home remodel, an investment of just a few thousand dollars into design and planning beforehand ensures you will get what you want and have purchased. The aesthetic of our bathroom is amazing and when you walk in, it makes you feel good.

Works by JD completely renovated my basement, transforming it into a truly useful and beautiful space. They were a pleasure to work with – professional, friendly, knowledgeable and highly skilled. I was most impressed with the high level of communication they maintained throughout the process. Everything was clearly explained, changes were documented, and phone calls were returned quickly. I had a very positive experience with Works by JD and would highly recommend them.

We recently had several projects completed by WORKS by JD, including new hardwood stairs, a new kitchen floor, a new door, and exterior rot work, and we are more than pleased with the outcome. Having a few different projects allowed us to meet many of the WORKS by JD staff, and we can honestly say that each and every one of them were polite, reliable, professional, and truly cared about their work. Thanks to Jesse, Jeff, and their outstanding team for a job well done. We would highly recommend using WORKS by Jesse DeBenedictis to family and friends.

WORKS by Jesse DeBenedictis has always provided expert work for my design projects. Jesse employs the most experienced crew, friendly and aware of the client’s needs. The team works a project in the most efficient and noninvasive way, making the construction process less stressful for all!

Susan

We utilized Works by JD for a multi-faceted project which lasted approximately six months. It included renovating several rooms, new floors, considerable carpentry work, and extensive repainting. As a result, we worked with many of the company’s staff, including Jesse. Without exception, they were skilled professionals, but more than that, they made every effort to disrupt our lives as little as possible. No small task! The communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail were excellent, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome.

From our first meeting through our final walk-through at the end of the porch restoration project, everyone from WORKS was professional and knowledgeable. They are always willing to help me understand every step in the process. The workspace inside and out is always well organized during the workday and is cleaned up and secured at the end of each day. My family and I always feel safe and confident having the crew from WORKS by Jesse DeBenedictis at our home. We have used Jesse and his crew of professionals a few times and have recommended them to all of our friends.

Kenny

The exterior painting job done by a crew from WORKS by JD could not have been better.  As I watched their work going from surface cleaning, preparation with areas of scraping, minor filling and caulking to priming and the final solid color staining, the care and expertise with which it was being done was obvious. I tend to be a perfectionist and was happy to see the guys treating the house as if it were their own!

Per

I originally got in touch with WORKS by JD to repair a bathroom closet. They fit the job into my short time frame and had two different people come out to work on it. Both did excellent work and were very personable and helpful. Closet came out looking very good. I have since spoken to them about a number of other jobs and plan to use them for more repairs in the future.

Joe

Jesse and his crew are our first go-to for the many needs of the very old and precious church facility we maintain. They are responsive, on time, on budget, and their work stands up to the test of time. I happily recommend WORKS by JD to anyone needing reliable and honest work.

I have an antique house from 1840 and I have learned that you need to hire workman that have the knowledge, craftsmanship and experience to handle these projects. Do it right the first time. WORKS by JD has done many projects for me and we have another one planned for next month. They have the best quality workmanship and are very professional.

Jesse and his crew are wonderful to work with! After numerous quotes from other contractors, Jesse made it simple and cost effective. We were also under a time constraint and he got to work right away. Each crew member removed their shoes and carefully placed drop clothes. They were extremely careful with extra dust as our son has terrible allergies. Jesse has tremendous attention to detail and produces high quality work. We were more than pleased with the results! Jesse and his crew will move with us wherever we go! Overall outstanding company to work with.

Jesse and his team did an extensive repair to our bathroom due to winter ice dam backup that damaged the bathroom and the adjacent bedroom. Their work was high quality and the individual team members were friendly and professional. We are very grateful for the work they did on our home.

The WORKS by Jesse DeBenedictis team has been completing projects in our home since 2007. We have had major and minor repairs completed, including stripping and reinstalling ceilings and floors, replacing and improving insulation, installing carpet, structural repairs on the exterior of the home, and gutter maintenance. The team is excellent.

Melissa

No matter what we need, we 100% trust them to do anything.  They really do what they say in their marketing and that brings a lot of confidence to the picture.  When I want to understand more, they explain it, and get it done for us.  WORKS by JD has repaired and repainted our home in Gloucester along with some larger renovations in Charlestown.  90% of what we need is laid out with the Project Planning Service. We trust the WORKS by JD team because they do what needs to be done.  They are professional, their communication is great, and the quality of work is amazing.  We of course highly recommend using Jesse, if you’re looking for as magical of an experience as we have had working with him.

Karen

We have an extreme comfort level working with the WORKS by JD team.  They really listen and guided us through our decisions. The team is trustworthy, friendly, and respectful. I would have any member of your team at my Thanksgiving Table.   The end result is exactly what we wanted.  If things hadn’t worked out, we would not have continued to bring you back and would never have recommend Works by JD to our friends and neighbors. The team does a fantastic job.

Jesse was responsive and knowledgeable from the get-go. He quickly got back to me to schedule an estimate. During the estimate we discussed the scope of the work. Jesse did a good job of letting me know what to expect while sharing options to help keep cost down. The work was completed on time and on budget. Everything looked great. Given my experience, I highly recommend them. I will definitely be hiring WORKS by JD again in the future.

Jesse and his team are extremely talented and true professionals!

Ron Brennan

We are nearly finished with a major “freshening up” of our home interior, painting every room. We are retired seniors, and Mark and his crew have been thoughtful and accommodating to our need to stay in the home while they are working. Mark is the best! We have had contractors and so-called professionals in our home before, but never have we worked with someone so intent on minimizing the stress involved. We have also had other miscellaneous jobs done and been very pleased. The crews are skilled, professional, and easy to get along with. Thank you, Jesse, Mark, Artie, and crews!

Details are important. As an architect, I work to achieve the desired aesthetic of each individual client. Jesse understands that the architect/builder/client relationship is a critical component to any successful design and construction process. Jesse is committed to getting the details right on each and every project which he takes on.
