Frank Albanese founded Long Island Homeworks in 2008after watching five fragmented GCs fold in the downturn. He built this company on a single conviction: one crew, one contract, one name responsible from demolition through final walkthrough. Three generations later, that's still the pitch.

Frank walked our lot, sketched a full second-story on the back of an envelope, and had a formal drawing in three days. Nine months later we're living in what feels like a new house on the same foundation. Same crew from demo through final punch.
We interviewed four builders for the tear-down. Frank was the only one who actually sat with our architect to resolve the ridge height before we signed. That attention — plus the fixed-price contract — made the decision easy.
The shed dormer on our 1952 Cape added a full primary suite and changed how the house lives. They were framed and watertight the day the roof came off. My wife still talks about how clean the job site was every afternoon.
We needed an in-law suite for my mother. Lisa handled every Huntington Town permit and Tim's drawings got us ADA clearance the first pass. Ramón's crew finished on schedule and my mother moved in that spring.
Our rear kitchen extension opened the back of the house to the yard. Frank was on-site every Monday morning without fail. When our appraisal came in after, the addition added more than it cost.
Third project with LI Homeworks — dormer in 2015, full addition in 2019, now the barn-style garage. Same crew, same standards. I tell neighbors Frank is the last honest GC on Long Island.
