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

5/5 AJ is hands-down…read morethe best contractor I've ever hired. He went above and beyond in every possible way. He fixed multiple issues in my home that other people either overquoted, ignored, or said couldn't be done without replacing everything. Not only did he get it all done -- he did it perfectly and with so much care. He repaired a front door latch, patched a basement door with a huge hole, installed two new windows, brought my lawnmower inside, and even helped with a few extra things I didn't expect him to handle. He worked an incredibly long day and was professional, patient, and detailed through every step. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work -- AJ absolutely does. He's genuine, respectful, hardworking, and extremely fair with pricing. I honestly feel lucky to have found someone this reliable. If you want someone who does the job right, treats your home like his own, and shows real integrity in his work, call AJ. I'll be recommending him to everyone I know.

EVERYTHING stains the floor.. I am beyond upset. I have had wood floors my entire life (with dogs) and I have NEVER experience such poor quality finishing. 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.

Nick responded to my…read morerequest for a quote within minutes and was able to come over and take measurements of my condo the next day, despite coming from over an hour away! He did the same when we wanted to see live samples of the product. The crew who came in and completed the job were very professional, courteous, and did a fantastic 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.

Edward D. Sheffield Jr. Home Improvement - 5 Stars…read more It's rare to find a contractor who is affordable, speedy, and communicative--but Ed is all of these things and more! We first brought him on to renovate our 1950s pink-tiled bathroom, and in just a month, he delivered a sleek, modern update while respecting the character of our home. From there, he tackled our guest bedroom installing new floors. We're working with him now to renovate floors throughout, install new doors and molding. He's slowly but surely renovating each room of our beloved mid-century modern house. Ed is not only a skilled craftsman but also a genuinely great person to work with--responsive, reliable, and always upfront about costs and timelines. I wouldn't hire anyone else, and at this point, he's become like family. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about his work and his clients, look no further!
