"CL Home Improvement did an excellent job on our bathroom. They gave great advice throughout the project, and the quote was affordable. They were so cordial -- knowing it was our only full bath, they worked quickly so we could get our kids in a tub again! This was much appreciated. The bathroom came out better than we even expected. I would redo my bathroom again with them in a heartbeat ... but I don't think we'll have to for a long time!!"

"American Pioneer has renovated 90% of my home over the past 10 years and has always done a great job. The price for the work has always been reasonable and the price quote at the start of the job is the price paid at completion. They show up when they say they will be there and stay until the job is finished. The work product is always top quality which is why we’ve used them to renovate almost every aspect of our home. I would highly recommend their services."

"This was our second time working with Victor and his team. We had a new front door installed, a new pocket door installed, new hardwood floors and trim installed in our family room and foyer, and had both rooms painted. They did an amazing job and we are pleased with the quality of work! We look forward to working with them on future projects that we have!"

"Great experience! The renovation that their crew did exceeded our expectations in every way. They were knowledgeable, efficient, and dedicated to delivering the highest quality. We love how the space looks now – it’s exactly what we envisioned!"

"It went great. No regrets. They did an excellent job, from the initial quote to the final product, which looks great, and matches the rendering he showed us after he surveyed the space, but before he secured the contract. They walked us through the process, delivered in a timely manner, and they made sure the job was complete. I would recommend them."

"The visit to my home in West Hartford was a nice affair. The technician explained everything. He even mentioned that I had to get a plumber to remove the sink away from the wall, so the work could be done to repair the window and wall area, but I did not hear him mention that I had to pull permits. The problem with this permit pulling issue is that I never initiated the pulling of permits, and this also is a red flag for me. The pulling of a permit should always be done by the contractor who is doing the job. It ensures that the permit pulled is to code. It ensures that the permit pulled follows local ordinance and CT. laws and statutes regarding construction, and that also includes consumer protection mandates in the State of Connecticut. Having me pull the permit to allow the CT. Basement Systems to do the work is a big, red flag, and it can result in my home owner's policy being cancelled if the permits are pulled either after the fact, or the permits pulled do not line up with the inspection process. I can also be fined by the town for pulling permits after the fact too. I've had my furnace replaced. The plumbing company who replaced the furnace followed state law and guidelines. Especially, since funding provided through a loan from a Credit Union chosen by the State of Connecticut ensured that permits were pulled correctly, legally. The same applies to my roof being replaced. The roofing company pulled the permit. Having a customer whom you are charging in excess of $20,000 to pull a permit is putting that customer in legal jeopardy, which is unacceptable. If I sell my house, and I had the work done in my basement, and the permits were pulled by me. The person who bought my house could sue me for an incorrectly pulled permit. How would I answer questions from the town about the technical aspects of the job, which should be handled by the contractor directly? Why introduce another layer of bureaucracy that slows down communication? Have the contractor pull the permit, so that the contractor and the municipality, town or city can communicate directly, and the pulling of the permit is done correctly and legally. How would I know, when the town should be doing an inspection during or while the job is being completed or after the job is completed? This should never be a requirement of the customer to pull the permit for a job to be done. The tech who visited my home mentioned that I had to hire a plumber to move a basement sink, but they did not mention about pulling of permits, but I went and re-read the quote again, and it is at the bottom of the quote page under "Customer Will" that states not only hiring of the plumber but also pulling permits and scheduling inspections. I did not have this job financed by CT. Basement Systems. I, instead, decided to get a home equity loan. If I did not get the home equity loan, then decided to go with CT. Basement Systems financing, then I would be screwed. The best thing I did was slow the process down, seek my own financing, and ask larger, bigger, deeper questions that prevented me from making a mistake by allowing this work to be done."

"I used Hire Her Home Improvement to build a Timber Tech deck and to reroute and upgrade the wiring to my garage. Every worker was professional, extremely competent and great to work with. We couldn't have been more pleased. We'll be hiring them again next year when we do the interior of our garage."

"They were friendly and easy to work with and the price was reasonable. We had an issue with the gutters they put in. They came back looked at it and said they would have to come back when it rains. We'll I am still waiting"

"We hired Dave last year for a major remodeling project and were incredibly pleased with the result. His approach of bringing on his crew to review the plans on site led to a very accurate estimate which minimized surprises. When we started out he said he'd have people working on site 5-6 days a week and that was absolutely true - work was constantly progressing and he was in constant communication with us each week to lay out the plan and what to expect. Every day we love our new home more!"

"Sam did an excellent job with our home renovations, we were very happy with him and his work. Very reasonably priced, and right in the neighborhood. Great guy, very kind and professional, a real pleasure to work with. We will definitely be hiring Sam again for future home renovation projects."
