"Excellent service! Highly recommend! David was prompt and very professional. We had damage to our gutters from strong wind gusts. David sent a handy man the same day we called, they repaired the damage quickly, and it was excellent work! Highly reliable!"

I recommend them to everyone I know!!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Adam and his team to frame and install my new kitchen including framing out a new pantry in a very difficult space as well as install a slider and reconfigure some walls. I am so pleased with the result. His attention to detail and work ethic are a rare find. I would recommend anyone needing any carpentry, framing, windows and doors work to contact him, you will not be disappointed."

"Nixon responded quickly and was able to install a new back storm door for us. The only problem is that it looks nicer than the front door now! :) Excellent work! Hired him to do several projects at Mom's now!"

"Amazing job!!! We were a little hesitant to hire Marcelo because he didn’t have many reviews but after we met him, we gave him the job. Within just a few days, he removed, sanded and painted our kitchen cabinets as well as installed our new stainless steal double wall oven and dishwasher - he did it all within the deadline agreed upon and left the kitchen as cleaned as he had found it. We were not even home to monitor his work…Trustworthy, reliable, pays close attention to the little details and takes pride in his work. We were able to cook/bake and got ready to host my family for Christmas! I highly recommend Marcelo and his company. He will come back to our home to do the kitchen/bathroom floors - will post before and after photos when done. We’re new to CT and he will definitely be our guy for any future work around the house."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

Technically, most states allow tiny homes, but it depends on the definition of tiny and whether the structure is permanent. Zoning laws regarding home size and construction are significant factors. For instance, a tiny home may be legal as a recreational vehicle in most areas, but you may only install it on a property if it complies with building and zoning codes.

A storm shelter's size depends on the number of people who will use it and the types of storms it provides protection from. Tornadoes typically only last a few minutes, so you don't need to spend very long in the shelter when one passes by. You'll want a tornado shelter that's big enough to provide 5 square feet of space per person.

Hurricanes usually last much longer than tornadoes, so you may find yourself in the shelter for hours, not minutes, if you’re facing one. If you're installing a hurricane shelter, you'll need at least 7 square feet per person.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

When you compare traditional houses to prefab homes, the latter can be more sustainable for many reasons. For example, manufacturers have a more streamlined construction process for modular homes, which means there’s less waste. Additionally, some prefabricated housing manufacturers strive for energy-efficient buildings, and others produce off-the-grid capable homes that produce their own energy. 

Some companies even offer net-zero buildings, which are arguably the most sustainable. So if sustainability is important to you, prefab homes can be a great fit.
