Customer Testimonials

Tony Roberts

★★★★★

Frank and his team from Scaffolding Solutions carried out the project in a very safe and efficient manner. Our project consisted of replacing pipe 30' up in a mechanical room with a spider web of pipe and conduit underneath, Scaffolding Solutions mad this job look like a cake walk where I thought it was going to be impossible. When we had to reschedule the disassembly and reassembly of the scaffolding Frank did everything in his power to make the schedule work.

Giselle Allen

★★★★★

I recently had my fourth floor loft terrace enclosed. Scaffolding Solutions, LLC is the only choice you need to ensure your project is successful! Frank Giuliano visited my home and assessed the area, then coordinated with the Patio Enclosure installation manager to build a custom design that was efficient for the project. Frank’s customer service was remarkable. He constantly communicated updates and I felt very comfortable contacting him with any questions. The scaffolding crew only took one day to assemble and disassemble the scaffold without incident. They were pleasant, professional and respectful of my property. Hands down this was the best experience and I definitely recommend Scaffolding Solutions, LLC.

Response from the ownerThank you Giselle! We were happy to be able to help you with your project...and are very glad the experience was so positive for you. Have an amazing day!
