What recent reviews say

Work that shows real pride in execution. Dave and crew handle everything from siding and roofing to stamped concrete patios and interior remodels, delivering within timeframe and budget while keeping sites spotless. Communication is clear step-by-step until occasionally a follow-up stalls. One poor phone call, but the bulk of experience speaks to a crew that treats your home and family as their own.

They work across Mystic and surrounding towns on both residential and commercial jobs (Spark Makerspace, Groton Townhouses). Named staff David, Altin, and Alyssa earn repeated praise for professionalism and flexibility. Historic home restoration stands out: one homeowner had them return a Tudor home to its original character with stucco, period colors, and careful window replacement.

  • skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail
  • fast delivery and on-time completion

Common questions

Do you work on historic homes?
Yes. Recent work includes Tudor home restoration with period-appropriate stucco, authentic historic paint colors, and careful window replacement. Reviewers praised their responsiveness and attention to the home's character.
How long does a typical addition take?
One family with four children completed a home addition in three months. David and the team worked around their schedule. Other projects (deck, siding, concrete patio) were described as completed quickly and on time.
Will you keep my site clean during work?
Yes. One commercial client reported the job site was kept spotless during renovation so business could continue. Residential reviewers noted the crew left properties in excellent condition, sometimes cleaner than before work began.
