Why System Scaffolding is the Safest Scaffolding

Posted on August 6, 2021 in Scaffolding

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.

David addresses any issue proactive and fast and Jefferson and his team execute the assembly and dismantle flawlessly. the 3D digital plans from their design team was spectacular and greatly appreciated by our client.

The team at Scaffold Solutions really got me out of a bind this past week. Set-up scaffold on Saturday morning and came back Sunday morning to take it back down. Communication was great, speed and safety were excellent and price was fair. I appreciate the solid communication and follow-up from their team and they did a great job helping me get the steel installed in the elevator shaft. Thank you!

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!
