What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise Excellence for personalized service, clear communication upfront, and quality output on decks, patios, stone walls, and multi-trade projects. Owners Engjell and Jake earn repeated trust. One detailed complaint describes weeks of delays, communication gaps during patio repair, workmanship requiring rework, damage to pool infrastructure with no accountability, and cracking within months. The business states they work across Connecticut.
