We moved to Connecticut in 1987 and bought a house that was built in 1972…read more The house had many features that may have been in style for the time, but to our eyes had become dated- like dark paneling, sand swirl ceilings, and tons of wallpaper. The downstairs bathroom was the worst offender -it had a gaudy wallpaper with big block letters that spelled out words like "Groovy" and "Love". Definitely a Peter Max-like look that would have been right at home in 1972. My wife and I covered up that atrocious wallpaper with new wallpaper soon after we moved in, but since neither of us really knew what we were doing, the "new" wallpaper looked mighty sad. This year, we are righting some of the ill effects of Father Time and doing some renovations, one room at a time. We started with that godawful downstairs bathroom. We were familiar with the Tetraults through a work connection, and when we saw some examples of his craftsmanship, well we reached out for his opinion and an estimate to bring that cursed bathroom into the 21st century. Chris did a magnificent job for us. He removed both layers of wallpaper, repaired some crummy drywall, replaced some old fashioned and dated door and window trim, Installed vinyl plank flooring, drywalled the ceiling, installed some gorgeous beadboard on the walls, and added nice accents of colonial trim crown, base, and corner  moldings, fixed a tight, sticking door, replaced the hinges and door handle as well as the old window lock, gave everything a fresh paint job and hung a new towel ring and toilet paper holder! The room is magnificent, and I love the little things he did, like swapping out the door hardware that was old and dated for spiffy new brushed nickel pieces. Chris was dependable, super polite and efficient, was a terrific communicator, and really made the entire project a pleasure. We have two more bathrooms, the front entry, and a laundry room in the queue for more work with him. He is in the process of adding a website, but has a Facebook page with lots of examples of his work. https://www.facebook.com/Tetreault-Quality-Home-Improvements-102374365150237 We could not be happier with his excellent work.

I looked for quotes from a few painters, Vitor's was comparable to the others, but he was the only one who offered me a military discount. I met with Vitor owner of Olive Tree Painting, he was absolutely fantastic. His team was professional and timely. Everything I wanted was accomplished in a very professional manner! We had to leave before the task was completed; his contact with us was excellent, and he made us feel quite comfortable leaving before the job was completed. Even our realtor commented on the great job they did. I would hire Olive Tree Painting without hesitation and share his information with my family and friends.

We had Tom Tom paint our whole plaza. I can't say enough about how satisfied we are with his work,…read moreprice, and professionalism!! Tom was professional and his employees were professional. They conducted themselves with utmost professionalism to our tenants and customers. There was no mess for customers to "walk around" and most of all they didn't leave any mess for me to clean up. Tom quoted us price, four buildings, he delivered every one of them under budget. For business like us, we hire a contractor and cost overruns are huge problem, often cost overruns are high as 30%, contractor starts project, half way in he tells you it will cost more. You feel like a hostage, often you have no choice but to pay more. I cannot say how surprised I am to be under budget on painting project!! Quality of work is AMAZING!! I would recommend him to my mother. And she is very very critical old woman

We were looking for a painter that was local and came with excellent recommendations. We posted a…read morequick question on our towns Facebook page and received an overwhelming number of recommendations for Tom Tom Painting. There were a few painters that responded back saying they would undercut any competition, but that was a scary thought, as who knows what corners they would be cutting to provided that. We decided to go with Tom Tom, and can not have been more pleased with our decision. The personalized service, professionalism, friendliness, and quality of work was very welcomed, as we were a little anxious about the overall process to begin with. Tom Tom took care of everything. Steve and Trevor were on site for a few days and did outstanding work. Tom came the last two days and put a beautiful poly finish on our wood stairs. Everything looks amazing and our home feels like we just moved in again! I highly recommend using Tom Tom for your next project, and I am sure we will be using them again too.

We hired Handyman Suffield, Enfield, and Coventry for a full bathroom remodel through a referral /…read morescreening platform. The experience taught me several important lessons. Although the handyman local company had many positive reviews, none were for a full remodel -- only small repairs or generic statements. The estimate provided was vague and didn't specify plumbing, electrical work, or wall/ceiling prep, which I now realize are essential when converting a shower to a bathtub. I assumed the daily labor rate covered what was needed to complete the job. By day four of a six day estimate, it was clear they weren't equipped for the job. No plumber had been scheduled, forcing me to hire a same day plumber at a very expensive rate. I paid directly for this charge $2800. Basic installation steps were missed until I pointed them out, wall prep was sloppy, and the new floor was cut unevenly with visible gaps. A worker even used my household garbage can as a cutting table. The owner insisted there were numerous changes that delayed the project. The estimate said any changes to scope would follow a formal process that was never invoked once. I thought except for a couple of changes the others were implied under general work statements like "install tub." I stopped the project with handyman and hired licensed professionals, whose workmanship was significantly better. I spent an additional $9,400 to finish and correct the work. We also disagreed with Handyman on the monies owed -- they insisted four days of labor were owed, even though the project was nowhere near 4/6 complete. They side my additional costs were not relevant to what I owed them. Takeaway: Match the scope of your project to the contractor's skill set. A full bathroom remodel requires licensed trades and a detailed estimate. Before starting, use an AI tool describing your project and it lead you through the critical points. Once you select a contractor ask the AI tool how good a fit the selection is.
