Additional e-mail - [email protected]. 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."

At SFA you will find second-to-none service and high quality flooring options at a cost that will make you smile. It all started in 1992, when Wayne and Maxine Schneider purchased a Professional Carpet Systems franchise based in Atlanta. The business grew rapidly and soon began offering flooring products and services. Business continued to grow through a customer focused effort. In August 2002, America's Carpet Gallery merged with FA and became part of the most successful flooring co-op in America, CCA Global Partners. During this time the family owned business changed its name to Schneider's Flooring America. In November 2002, SFA purchased the former Frank's Nursery building on Route 83 in Vernon. Schneider's Flooring America is now a Fashion Showplace, carrying all types of Carpet, Hardwood, Laminate, Ceramic Tile and Vinyl flooring. SFA has a team of employees who are fully trained and the focus has been and will always be, to provide our customers with outstanding service and value. We look forward to many more years of growth while continuing to maintain a family-owned and operated identity.

"Troy and Ace Floor pick up the phone but don’t honor their commitment and lack integrity in dealing customers . They started what was supposed to be a 3 day stair case sanding and refinish job on 6/14/2023. They sanded for 2 days and said they would return on Monday, with still 2 days of staining and poly to go it was now a 5 day project. After no showing we called and were told the schedule was full and they would come back in a week. We explained we had other trades coming in and would need it done sooner. Troy promptly told us he could not help us and suggested we part ways. I would have expected him to say we will get someone out soonest and how can we make it right. This company is a volume business and you are a number…they have 50 jobs a week, as Troy told us. I would stay clear, they lack ethics and integrity"

For three generations Arakelian Rugs has been providing New Haven County with quality hand woven oriental rugs. Our oriental rugs are made according to ancient artisan traditions with premium materials and one of a kind designs. Oriental rugs are a beautiful addition to any room and come in all sizes, colors and price ranges to fit the décor and budget of every customer. Rugs appeal to any age group and suit contemporary and traditional lifestyles. Each knot in a genuine oriental rug has been hand made, making the rug a true work of art for the home. Since 1908, customers have received the benefits of the family's knowledge, years of experience, exceptional customer service and personalized attention; making the process of purchasing an oriental rug interesting and enjoyable.

"John Balayan, the owner of Arakelian Rugs, is truly amazing! We called Arakelian Rugs after a disastrous spill on our oriental rug that resulted in red splatters in a large section of the rug. John not only immediately contacted us, he also came right out to see if it would even be possible to repair the damage. We are truly amazed that the team at Arakelian was able to restore our rug - we cannot even see any remnants of the stain! John gave us a timeframe for each step of the process and kept in touch with us throughout. We then had several other rugs cleaned at very reasonable prices. The rugs were picked up, delivered, and placed. We also purchased new padding which makes such a difference. We are truly grateful to the entire team at Arakelian Rugs for such professional and outstanding service."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, many services include the removal and disposal of old flooring. Confirm with your provider.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.

Yes, you can put carpet directly on concrete. However, you need to take certain precautions to ensure the success of the carpet installation. For example, you’ll need to choose a synthetic carpet pad to provide insulation and cushioning and a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the carpet.

Smaller carpet installations may take less than a day, while full-home installations can take several days. However, your carpet installation timeline will ultimately depend on a few factors, including the number of rooms you’re renovating, the project’s total square footage, and the carpet type. Installation will take longer if your carpet company needs to repair your subfloor or remove old tile flooring.

You can lay carpet by yourself, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should. DIY carpet installation can save you on labor costs, but you’ll have to pay more to get the right tools and equipment first. A knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller are a few pieces of equipment you’ll need that you may not already have lying around. And keep in mind that repairing or replacing carpet later because of a bad installation is twice as expensive as paying a pro to handle it in the first place.
