Get matched with top carpenters in Thomaston, CT

"We originally contacted Brian to measure, source and install window treatments on some skylights and windows, and when we found out he's a renaissance man, we asked him to do many other jobs for us as well--carpentry, electric, plumbing, labor & assembly, you name it. He's a consummate professional, easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to work with. He's such a nice guy I even invited him to stay for dinner one evening after he finished working. I'm not sure at this point what Brian can't do, but I'd trust him to tell me if something I asked for was beyond his wide ranging capabilities. We will absolutely hire Brian again and again and continue to refer him to friends in the future. The only challenge is that his schedule books up since he's highly in demand, so contact him sooner rather than later.
Some of Brian's work for us has included:

• - Full-service window treatments for skylights and windows--we love them, and Brian's advice was helpful

- Repair of a slatted blind that Brian told us didn't really need replacing after all
- Selection and installation of a new blind to match others next to it--looks great
- Installation and assembly of 2 ceiling light fixtures. We didn't have the right part for hanging one from a vaulted ceiling, and Brian made sure to get one for us that fit the aesthetic perfectly. No corner cutting.
- Hanging pictures and heavy shelves
- Plumbing help with 2 leaky refrigerators
- Disassembly, strongman labor, and reassembly of a large piece of exercise equipment in another room in the house
- Window replacement
- Installation of a cat door through a sheetrock wall
- Installation of a track for a pocket door
- Installation of dimmer switches
- Assembly and installation of a large closet system
...etc. We've been happy with the results of all these projects--and all the rest that I can't remember at the moment.

"Igle (hope the spelling is correct) was very friendly, respectful and professional. He responded quickly to my request for a quote on replacing my front porch steps. He gave me a very reasonable cost estimate. Unfortunately, upon removal of the old steps insect damage to the framing structure was discovered. He was not deterred by this change in the scope of the project. My house was built in 1896 and nothing is standard about the construction, complicating the work. He managed to find a way to resolve all the problems and I am very happy with the result. We worked out a very reasonable adjustment to the original estimate to cover the extra materials and labor. I would highly recommend him. I intend to call on him in the future for other work."

"Edie-Sons Construction re-did the synthetic stucco above my 2 car garage & a small wall where my loft is. What an absolute fantastic job they did. I have nothing but praise for he & his crew. Way to go guys...keep up the great work! Sorry so late to review but never forgotten...that speaks thousands! I most highly & absolutely recommend them."

"We are very happy with the stone retaining wall that Arnold built for us. He made sure he knew exactly what we wanted and gave us good advice. Great craftsmanship!"

"Thank you Rigo for your wonderful work! Sam, I canâ t thank you enough for your excellent customer experience! If Iâ m ever in need of roofing, siding, etc you will be the ONLY one I call!!"

"The project involved partially disassembling a professional-grade office cubicle to reconfigure it. There was no instruction manual, only partial information I had gleaned from the Web and conveyed to the 2 guys. The work involved a lot of heavy lifting. We are so pleased with the results of their work. As a result, my wife and I now can consolidate our home offices into one area. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again."

"Very professional team. The whole crew did an excellent job on my old deck removal & more than excellent on building my new trex deck. I would highly recommend A1 to anyone that needs any kind of home repair improvements done. Professional, Clean up every day & I would hire again for any future major home projects."

"The end result was that it turned out fine. However painting does not appear to be their primary job. There were some things I expected painters to do that seem to be miscommunicated including removing everything from the walls rather than paint around, the fact that when he said I was responsible for all materials that included the plastic furniture covers. I should have requested a written estimate to avoid any miscommunication."

"CT Home improvements replaced our old wooden deck with Trex decking, from the very beginning when they came to provide an estimate, to the completion of our project, their team exhibited professionalism and high-level craftsmanship every step of the way. I highly recommend them if you're considering a new deck!"
