Get matched with top attic remodelers in Redding, CT

"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."

"Long home came to my house today, did a thorough inspection on my roof, explained everything that they would do to fix the problems on my roof. I feel very comfortable with this company and decided to move forward the very first day. Thanks for your help Long home!"

"C&C completely gutted and renovated our hall bath and partially redid the master bath. The work included repair to downstairs ceilings, painting, as well as replacement of numerous doors, and replacing hardware in other rooms. I cannot say enough good things about this company and crew. They did impeccable work, were patient and helpful when materials delivered incorrectly and immediately helped us figure out solutions that turned out better than our original plans. They were respectful in our home, did amazing daily cleanup and the end result exceeded our expectations, which is not easy to do. Their estimate was spot on, no up-charging or hidden costs and the job was finished two days earlier than estimated. C&C will be our first choice for all our future renovation plans!"

"After our experience with this business,it's impossible to believe that so many positive reviews are authentic.HOUZZ & other reviews weighed heavily in considering this company.The over-riding reason was the earnestness MattCowen presented at the BPT Home Show as well as being an “Engineer” (he is NOT)& later,at our home,abt his quality of work & assurance of working w/in our designated budget for the ENTIRE project soup-to-nuts. Cowen misrepresented himself from beginning to end. HE agreed to OUR budget, insisting that “the ENTIRE project cost was attainable” & proceeded to convince us to submit our $2,500 check to “perform the next phase which involved detailed measurements” (he missed key measurements) & “a 3D presentation w/Virtual Reality goggles.We repeatedly reminded him of our strict budget & he assured us“as long as you choose stock items & do not pick a $10,000 tub,this would proceed without any issues”.All stated in the presence of us & our 30-year-old daughter who also had inquiries about the work & was satisfied that we were all in agreement.He then talked up his "favorite materials"(porcelain sheets), & standard fixtures,etc. FF 1 week, we arrived at his “showroom”(a disheveled room of outdated, strewn materials).He presented a basic crude “3D” outdated desktop computer-based depiction of the proposed finished project.This “program had “bugs & wasn’t working right”.There was NO VR presentation with goggles as promised. He finally showed us his partial proposal-the recommended porcelain sheets ended up costing the majority of our total project budget!He then pressed us for ANOTHER check as “it's on sale until the end of the week & you need to put the order in today”.We were mystified to say the least.“How can you agree to a budget & propose exorbitantly priced materials, knowing it would eat up most of the total budget?” we asked.He then socked us with labor costs which also amount to our TOTAL budgeted project cost! When asked how much the total cost would be, the number was OVER 2X what was agreed-upon!We reiterated our prior conversations & Cowen recommended that WE “buy (our) own tile, fixtures,etc, but they would not be warrantied” by him! He had NO OTHER MATERIALS/options that he could supply to us.After picking up our jaws from the floor, we asked how this could have happened,he stated “That's how much it costs these days! Labor alone is expensive!!”WHY DID HE NOT TELL US THIS FROM THE BEGINNING? DOES HE REALLY NEED THE $2,500 THAT BADLY? To date, we have NO designs/plans and NO comprehensive, COMPLETE proposal in accordance with our agreed-upon budget.In good faith,we told him to “keep $500" for his time, but "return $2,000" to us & we would not proceed with further action on our part. A “lesson learned” (not to trust people like him). This is a classic case of “Bait and Switch”.He countered with threats of legal action if we gave him a bad review that would “tarnish” his reputation.Above is ALL true. We stand by it."

"We couldn’t be happier with our recent bathroom renovation! Carlos was fantastic to work with—he made helpful suggestions throughout the process, including where to purchase materials and creative ways to add extra storage in our small space. The team took the project down to the studs, replaced and relocated plumbing and electrical, and did a meticulous job with the tiling. The results exceeded our expectations—I’m absolutely obsessed with our new bathroom! Carlos and his team were professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. We’ll definitely be hiring them for our next renovation."

"We had a fantastic experience remodeling many aspects of our house: basement, attic, as well as electrical and plumbing. They went above and beyond with everything. Very trustworthy; the project was completed within budget and on time. A truly smooth experience. I would strongly recommend this contractor to everyone!"

"Excellent - Tito was extremely responsive and his team did excellent work. I shopped around and got multiple quotes, and his was the lowest. More importantly, he had done work on a number of my neighbors’ homes and came highly recommended. His team was very responsive and got the work done on a short time frame which was great because I needed much of the work done before I moved in to my new home. My floors and skylights look great and I have full confidence in his work. One thing which I really liked is the fact that he is constantly in communication, is always available, and is local. The last part is important because he understands the importance of reputation which gives me full confidence in his work. I will definitely be coming back to him again for any future work on my house and wholeheartedly recommend!"

"Went exceptionally well"

"After a few delays because of rain they came they completed the job within two and a half hours cleaned everything up actually did some extra reinforcement on my porch at no extra charge highly recommend"

"Jermaine is one of those handymen who is worth their weight in gold. I hired him and his team to perform a variety of odd jobs around my newly purchased house, and they stayed late - on a Friday afternoon no less - to successfully install appliances that Home Depot was unable to install (appliance installation was not on my original list because I didn’t think it was something Jermaine’s group did). All work Jermaine and his team did met or exceeded my expectations, and the entire time, Jermaine was focused on doing as much for me as he could. I will 100% hire Jermaine again the next time I need a handyman, and you should too."
