I recently had a fantastic experience renovating my bathroom with Connecticut Custom Creations…read more Before choosing them, I contacted about five general contractors. While many were friendly and professional, the quotes I received felt unusually high for the scope of work being offered. That was not the case with Connecticut Custom Creations. Their pricing was fair, transparent, and very reasonable. As with any new contractor, I wasn't sure what to expect at first. However, Dustin was an absolute pleasure to work with. He guided me through every step of the process and made everything feel easy and stress free. He also provided great advice when selecting finishes and fixtures, helping me choose options that coordinated beautifully and enhanced the overall design. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I am already planning to have my second bathroom remodeled with them as well. If you are considering a bathroom renovation or any major home project, including a kitchen or basement, I highly recommend giving Connecticut Custom Creations a call. You will not be disappointed.

This time, Renoldo came with his assistant to install one door for $ 1,500.00 and to patch over three huge cracks in the attic ceiling and wall that the company renovated in September, just six months ago. In short, wrong door knobs (twice!), a gap between the door frame and door (which they didn't want to fix), and nearly two, frustrating hours texting Dustin, the manager, who claimed he was right about everything and wouldn't take responsibility for an unsatisfactory job. I had to take doorknob pictures to prove my point because he insisted that he had purchased the right doorknob. WTF! I had to put up with his sarcasm, denials, name-calling, and gaslighting to get him to do the job. One door and a lot of unnecessary stress and aggravation. Never again, even if they paid me a million dollars, will I EVER work with this company again. Addendum: after much ado over everything, the company bought the proper color for the wood filler and filled all gaps and cracks left after they redid the door, which they should do with every door they replace that leaves ugly gaps in people's hardwood floors, even if the prior door installer was considered by them to have installed it improperly.

We still to this day don't believe they actually did as many coats as they said they did. why haven't I asked them back? Because all my new cabinets and front door was scuffed up from their sanders. Our brand new kitchen looks TERRIBLE because of the refinish job.

They were able to rip up old carpet & laminate flooring and replace ~850 sq ft in just one day!!! I would highly recommend going to Nick & team at Custom Hardwood Flooring Plus for any hardwood flooring needs.

We were given a written proposal to fix our rear deck and front porch with everything explained,…read morethe contractor Guy Racine agreed on the price and (GUY) the contractor started work. 3/4 of the way finished the building Code inspector showed up on the Job site asking for a building permit, the Contractor Guy Racine said he didn't pull one. Over the next few days the Contractor tried to get us to pull the permit stating it would be a lot cheaper yet in the proposal it states that the contractor pulls the permit. I called the town and they advised me NOT to pull the permit as if I did it I'd be liable for a injuries or mishaps. Guy the contractor told me that the town was using scare tactics on me and that I should go ahead and pull the permit..I refused. Since, the Contractor wants to negotiate his price for more money. I met with the build inspector and he pointed out a lot of poor workmanship that GUY at Racine homes did and it will not meet Code standards. No Flashing on the rear deck or front porch, No 12 inch concrete footer at the bottom of the step on both set of step, they are just sitting on the dirt, no correct spacing on the Rear steps leading into the house. It has been weeks and within those weeks I have had no Contact from the Contractor and while we were not home, he came and removed all the building materials from the jobsite that I paid for to complete the job and took the front railings off the front porch. Unfortunately it has come to leaving a bad review but if it will help someone out from not getting taken advantage of, then it helped.

Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to make the process stress-free for our family. One moment that really stood out: they surprised our kids with their own signed toolbelts -- such a thoughtful, personal touch that says everything about their character.

The entire process was hands-free for my family. His installers were QUICK (two days!), friendly, and most importantly CLEAN (they left almost no sign they were there!). All the old stuff hauled away, AND they were able to move the big pieces of furniture around while installing! We had one other quote before going to South Broad, and I can say their price was extremely competitive (especially considering they are willing to move furniture).

The words that come to mind when I think of South Broad Paint & Home Center are...just don't. We…read morebegan our renovation in late April and were told it would take between 3 and 4 weeks. Now at the end of Week 9, we are finally able to begin using the kitchen. Our renovation consisted of a new floor, painting of the cabinets and walls, a new countertop and sink, dishwasher instillation, and instillation for 4 new (pre-finished) cabinets. In total, there were approximately 10 days over those 9 weeks when work was actually being done. Yes, you read that correctly. 9 Weeks, 10 days of work...that's 53 days of absolutely nothing! The rest of the time was spent tracking down the so called 'contractor' to find out who was coming to do what and when. After making an $8k payment, we were told the work would begin the following Monday. When Monday came and went without even so much as a phone call, we called to see what the issue was. We were told we were supposed to call when the wallpaper was taken down (we agreed up front to take it down on our end). If this were the only communication issue throughout the project, I would said say it was just a misunderstanding however, this was just the tip of the iceberg! The sub-contractor finally came, and they took up the old tile and laid the new. After a couple of days without a call or email, we had to reach out to the contractor again on next steps. This was the common theme throughout the entire renovation. We had to follow up each and every time with the contractor to get anything done. We also had to advise each of the sub-contractors on what they had to do as they arrived, they were not briefed before they got there. When the carpenter came to install the dishwasher (new to the space), he told us that when the countertops were put on, we'd never be able to get the dishwasher out. The reason for this being that the contractor never told the tile sub-contractor to take out the existing subfloor. Instead, they laid a new one over it raising the floor more than an inch! We were told that we'd have to raise the height of the cabinet to avoid having to take the countertop off down the line if the dishwasher needed a repair. This was something that could have been completely avoided had the contractor advised his team correctly. The contractor then tried to charge us approximately $400 for this work. Nearing the end of the project, it was evident that the ceiling had not been painted. We called, and the contractor said he'd call the painter to 'have him put another coat on'. When the painter arrived, he asked what was needed so we explained (as usual). He told us that the contractor never told him to paint the ceiling!' Every step of the way was nothing but a headache and it was obvious that we were 'small potatoes' for this contractor. The lack of communication and continuing empty promises made this process an absolutely nightmare. I would recommend this company only if you like the idea of being your own foreman!

We hired MJP Flooring (Miguel) to install new tile in the kitchen and hallway and refinish hardwood…read morefloors in the bedrooms and living/dining room. The tile mechanic, Jose did a good job and was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. The floor refinishers were another story. Of the three workers he left on the job, one doing the edging continued working. The other worker listened to loud music, sat on the floor with a drink and loudly sang along with the radio and did a minimum amount of work. The drum sander was either inexperienced, untrained or careless because he started with a very coarse sandpaper but never moved to succeeding grits of finer sandpapers, which left deep scratch marks in the hardwood. As a retired CT licensed home inspector and licensed home improvement contractor, I felt qualified to evaluate this job. When I explained to Miguel why I wasn't happy with the job and asked him to re-sand the floor he refused and came back the next morning to add another coat of finish which did nothing to smooth out the scratches. When he returned the following day, I told him the floor was no better and again asked him to re-sand the floors which he again refused. I subsequently hired another floor refinisher who correctly re-sanded the floors and they came out beautiful. Two days later Miguel called me for a final payment. I told him I had fired him and hired another company to redo his job. He threatened to go into the house and rip out all the tile. I immediately called Meriden Police and explained what had happened and they called Miguel and told him if he entered the house he would be arrested, whereupon he left the property. In addition, Miguel left many bags of sawdust, tile and tile cement on the front lawn and in the house which he had promised to remove. I cannot recommend this company.
