About Testa’s Handyman And Construction Services

A Local Contractor Newark Homeowners Trust

Gennaro Testa started this company after watching too many homeowners get burned by contractors who ghost, cut corners, or never finish what they started. So he built something different. Honest, hands-on, and accountable.

We proudly serve homeowners throughout Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and surrounding communities, handling everything from quick repairs to full interior remodels and outdoor builds. Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a half-day fix or a three-month project, and Gennaro is on-site running the work himself.

Real Craftsmanship, Real Accountability

Plenty of contractors sound great on the phone and disappear once the deposit clears. We’ve built our name doing the opposite. Clean worksites, straight answers about timelines, and finishes that still look right five years later. Most of our calls come from people who already hired us, or were referred by someone who did.

What We Bring To Every Project

Years of hands-on work across decks, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, fencing, flooring, drywall, and general repairs. Gennaro can swing a hammer, but he can also run a job properly. That means materials ordered on time, trades coordinated when needed, and a timeline that reflects reality instead of wishful thinking.

Fewer surprises for you, and a finished product that actually matches what we discussed at the start. Small afternoon repair or multi-week remodel, the process stays organized and the work stays consistent.

Built On Word Of Mouth, Not Marketing

Most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors. That’s a tough way to grow unless you’re doing the job right, and it’s how we’ve expanded across Newark, Bear, and Wilmington without chasing volume or spending much on ads. People trust us because we show up when we said we would, charge what we quoted, and stand behind the work after the check clears.

Plenty of contractors get one job from a homeowner. We usually get the next three.

Our Customers Love Us!

Gennaro rebuilt our back deck and finished the basement the same year. Both came out exactly how we discussed, and he kept us informed the whole time.

Mark D.

Newark

We had a kitchen remodel that two other contractors backed out of. Testa's took it on, finished on time, and the result speaks for itself every morning.

Jennifer R.

Bear

Hired them for drywall and a few door replacements. Showed up when they said, did the work right, and didn't try to upsell us on anything. Will use again.
