"Ralph's workmanship is exquisite. He takes great pride in his projects and notices small details which enhance the look and satisfaction of the finished project. The intricate ceramic tile pattern he created in a neighbor's laundry room reno and his meticulous creativity in a newly built "cottage" blew us away. Naturally, he did not disappoint us! Our custom cabinets and remodeled porch are stunning. A bonus in hiring Ralph is that his crew exhibits the same high quality work ethic and positive attitude. They're an amazing, cohesive group, whether Ralph is on site or not. Moreover, we found the vendors he recommended to be highly competent professionals whose services and materials quickly established their own knowldge and skills. We're confident you'll be as thrilled with Ralph's work and recommendations as we've been. It's difficult to find contractors who can be trusted, who enjoy their work, and whose communication is easy and clear, but it's even harder to find ones that don't disappoint. Caputo Contracting does NOT disappoint!"
