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.

After a fire in our home, we worked with Racine Homes for our basement remediation -- and I can't…read moresay enough good things about the experience. Guy, Tucker, Joe, and Dan were incredible from start to finish. They were honest, dependable, and consistently showed up ready to work hard every single day. The craftsmanship was exceptional -- every detail was done with care and precision, and it's clear they take real pride in their work. 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. If you want a team that delivers outstanding quality, integrity, and genuine kindness, look no further than Racine Homes. We couldn't recommend them more highly.

I absolutely recommend Armend's Painting and Contracting, LLC. They are true professionals, and the…read moreend result proves it! Our home hadn't been painted in 18 years and needed serious wall repairs. Because they are also a remodeling company, they were more than capable of handling every issue that might come up. Frank arrived quickly to give us a quote and started the job right away. Since my wife had just returned from a three-month hospitalization, I was worried about the stress of the project. However, the crew took care of all the heavy lifting and moving. They showed up on time every single day with a smile and treated my home with the utmost respect. Frank also gave excellent advice on paint colors when our initial samples didn't look right in the daylight. Furthermore, because they do remodeling, they had an electrician on hand. Frank's son, Armand, did an awesome job replacing our outlets, plates, and installing new lighting, which pulled the whole look together. The added cost was more than worth it. These are great, hardworking men who truly care about delivering a top-tier result. My only regret is waiting 18 years to hire them

Would definitely recommend his services to others looking for a reliable, qualified painter. He promptly provided licensure, proof of insurance and all the necessary credentials, which I never received from other "painters" who gave quotes. Will definitely hire him again should I have a painting or other improvement project. PS - Not sure why it's listing San Francisco as my location, but the work was completed in Naugatuck,CT

Jeff Bousquet has been our "go to" painter for over twenty years. His customer service is MASTER…read moreCLASS. He has painted the exterior of our home and garage twice, and has done many other interior and exterior jobs for us, large and small. Somehow Jeff continues to find high quality people to work for him. No matter when we think the project is finished, Jeff and his guys continue to ask "is there anything else you need or want us to do?" He is probably not the cheapest guy on the block, but the quality of his work is worth his very competitive prices. He also has access to competent sub-contractors to do home repairs, or other additional services required outside of the painting contract. We have had a few unexpected situations where we had to call Jeff back to redo something. He has always called back promptly and fixes whatever is needed. We recommend Jeff Bousquet Painting and Home Improvement without hesitation. We look forward to being in touch with him for any future services we might need. The Levines, Westport

His prices are fair and he will generally let you know up front what something is going to cost. I can't recommend Harold highly enough! For anything you need to fix, make him your first call. It's great to have a local, independent contractor in your back pocket when things go awry.
