Additional e-mail - info@better-built-basements.com. Award winning. The Mission of Better Built Basements, LLC is to have Connecticut homeowners select us as their remodeling contractor by providing innovative and affordable basement solutions. We strive to build trust and confidence with our customers with precise quotes, honest and consistent communication, professional appearance and demeanor, and accurate time lines for every project.
"Unfortunately I give BBB a 1 star rating. The project began October of 2021 with demolition, upon completion of each phase I sent an email to Better Built Basement management thanking them for their work effort and identifying items that either required further explanation and/or resolution. As the project went on, I became increasingly frustrated with their lack of communication, lack of accountability, lack of caring, and lack of skill. The straw that broke my back was when Jim (an owner) called me a f’ing c’sucker. Randy, (an owner) sent me the following email: No one has time to read your 3-page condensing e-mails. You have done nothing but complaint. It's obnoxious and draining to everyone you come in contact with. There isn't one person who cant wait to have you out of our lives. I terminated Better Built Basements on June 7th, 2022, here are some of the details of my experience: - The demo crew was excellent in and out in a day and did a great job cleaning up - The electricians were very consultative in their approach to the project, providing input on lighting and outlet placements. - Framing was mediocre. Despite using laser equipment, one wall was wavy and the ceiling grid has a large gap. Pictures attached. - New steel stud framing and pre-hung doors should be dead on straight as an arrow instead, two of the doors has an aesthetically noticeable skew. - The replacement to an existing door resulted in using the wrong hinge set for the existing mortices, inclusive of color – all the other hardware is brass they used chrome. Picture attached. - 3 of the four doors were either chipped or cracked. BBB was notified before the ‘final’ paint job, but they failed to address the issue. - I returned home the day they applied joint compound to find glops of joint compound on the floor, which I tracked around my house, and glops on wood work on a floor where no work was occurring. Pictures attached - Following the flooring installation, they left garbage in my basement for 2.5 weeks, then did not take it when they came back – in frustration I disposed of it myself. - Many of joints on the ¼ round trim molding were caulked excessively to cover up sloppy miters. - Cracked switchhplate was not replaced. Picture attached. - Sub-contractors have sub-contractors, who seem to be able to sub contract – direct employees of BBB other than the demo and electrical were rare. BBB demands using a lock box, Many people have the combination, providing little sense of security over access to the home. Overall, BBB does a bad job communicating, managing expectations and fails to deliver on their stated objectives at best they are contractors not craftsman."

Luxury renovations require anywhere from several months to over a year for completion, depending on project complexity and material availability. Comprehensive transformations involving structural changes, extensive system upgrades, or specialized finishes demand longer timelines due to the sequential nature of construction phases. Custom elements, such as handcrafted cabinetry, imported stone, or specialized architectural features, often have extended production and delivery schedules, sometimes adding months to the overall timeline compared to standard renovations.
Comprehensive home automation represents the cornerstone of contemporary luxury renovations, encompassing integrated systems for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. Spacious, multifunctional layouts continue to dominate, with emphasis on creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Wellness-focused features, such as home spas, advanced air filtration, and specialized lighting systems, are gaining prominence. Universal design elements that accommodate aging in place without sacrificing aesthetics have become increasingly important, incorporating features like zero-threshold showers and elegant grab bars that blend seamlessly with luxury design schemes.
Consider temporary relocation when your renovation involves multiple rooms or impacts essential systems, such as water or heating. Living through major construction creates significant challenges, including dust contamination, noise disruption, privacy concerns, and limited access to basic facilities. If staying during the renovation, plan to establish functional living zones isolated from the construction areas, potentially including temporary kitchen arrangements or alternative bathroom facilities. For targeted renovations affecting limited areas, remaining in your home may be feasible with proper containment measures and clear communication with your construction team regarding your living requirements.
Begin your search by consulting friends and colleagues who have completed similar high-end projects in your area. Examine potential contractors specifically for luxury work similar to your vision, noting the quality of finishes and attention to detail. Request comprehensive proposals that delineate materials, labor, timelines, and payment schedules. Verify credentials, including licensing, insurance coverage, and specialized certifications relevant to luxury construction. Schedule in-depth consultations to assess communication styles and design sensibilities, ensuring the contractor fully appreciates your aesthetic goals and quality expectations.
Anticipate potential expenses for addressing concealed structural issues that only become apparent during demolition, such as inadequate support systems or outdated wiring requiring comprehensive updates. Budget for possible permit complications, including special reviews for historical properties or engineering assessments for complex structural modifications. Infrastructure upgrades often become necessary when adding luxury features, including electrical capacity enhancements for new systems or plumbing modifications for specialty fixtures. Environmental remediation for discovered hazards, such as lead paint or asbestos, can incur significant unplanned costs. Establishing a contingency fund of 15 to 20% helps manage these unexpected developments without compromising your renovation vision.
