THIS BUSINESS IS A SCAM!!! the owner, Tony Thompson is a scam artist... plain and simple... I was…read morenew to CT and was put in contact with Mr. Thompson to have some prints drawn for a commercial project I was working on. The ONLY instructions I gave Mr. Thompson were "i need prints drawn so I can obtain a building permit"... After he took his measurements, and drew up some prints I proceeded to meeting with the town Building Department. They laughed at the prints he had drawn, and made it very clear that I had wasted both, their and my time. some measurements were off by 5"+ and the total number of windows in the building was incorrectly accounted for. The prints he gave me clearly had "NOT FOR BUILDING PURPOSES" written on the prints. I confronted Mr. Thomson about this, and he said that he would make the revisions... (which I had to pay for).. he made his revisions, and I again went to meet with the town. They again, laughed at what we had presented them. After relaying this information to Mr. Thompson, he said: "sounds like you need a licensed engineer and architect for this project" to which he referred me to a friend of his (an ACTUAL engineer who can produce STAMPED PRINTS). HE MARKETS HIMSELF AS AN ENGINEER AND ACRHITECT, WHEN IN FACT HE IS NOT LICENSED AS EITHER!!! ...this would have been all speculation, however, I met another local business owner who had the exact same experience as I did with him, and was out a few thousand dollars. Tony Thompson took on a work assignment from me, full well knowing that he was legally unqualified to perform the work that I had asked. He took my money, full well knowing that he couldn't do what I had asked, and gave me a month long run around before finally telling me "i am unlicensed to do the work that you have asked" HE IS A DESIGNER THAT MARKETS HIMSELF AS AN ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT.... all he can do is draw pretty pictures....

Frank Summa truly delivered on everything I was looking for in my bathroom renovation. I explained that I wanted something functional and economical, and that's exactly what I got--but even better, the end result was absolutely beautiful. The team was excellent and completed the entire installation in just one day, including drywall work, which was done impeccably. My bathroom turned out better than I ever could have imagined. Even the contractor who came in afterward to do the painting commented on the high quality of their work.

They were involved in every phase of the project from design collaboration, architectural planning, finish selections, excavation, foundation, construction, and final detail work. The quality of the work was fantastic, especially in the vaulted ceiling and beam work. The new porch and bedroom blend so naturally into the house that you would never know they were added later. Everyone on their team was professional, skilled, and respectful throughout the process. Communication was clear and consistent. We would confidently hire Lambert and Barr again.

Mark slowly walked us through the whole process- what types of wood we could choose, coming to our house to do an initial look (free), and then setting up delivery AND installation of wood. 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!

When he came to give me an estimate, he told me that Sunwood generally doesn't take on "smaller" jobs such as mine, but they'd take it on. He also said I might have sticker shock from the scope of work I wanted done. I wanted all new kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, bathroom vanities & toilets, kitchen appliances, a new shower stall with glass doors, porcelain tile in the kitchen & entryway, ceramic tile in both bathrooms, and old school oak floors throughout the rest of the 1100 Sq. Ft. of my home. I was NOT shocked by the price quoted. It was within reason. Upon signing the contract and initial payment in their offices, Greg blocked out on a calendar what phases would be completed on what dates, and was given a firm date of completion of the overall project. I made my selections for cabinets, countertops, bathroom fixtures, tiles and appliances and paint selections at the appropriate times. I paid extra for some change orders I wanted as the work progressed. All the work was completed exactly on the dates blocked out by Greg, and the overall project was completed a few days early. Upon completion of the final walk through, I was handed a check for over $700.00, because they completed the work under budget. I moved back into an essentially brand new home. It's been nearly nine years, and the workmanship and materials have held up extremely well. Obviously, I strongly recommend Sunwood Development for your construction needs.
