Secoy Custom Structures

Paul and his crew did quality work. Our home was not an easy wood siding install but they took each challenge and found a way to make it work. We are very pleased with the results!

We hired Secoy Custom Structures in May of 2023 after finding some positive reviews on this site. This is a big project on our farmhouse including building a pool shed, building a front porch, siding, trim, shutters, new front door with sidelights, a door and window and siding on our garage and fixing a hole in our free stall barn roof. We made a 50% deposit (large amount of money) on the project which was supposed to be completed no later than July31, 2023. The work did not begin until September 2023. Fast forward to now, siding is mostly finished on the house, (no trim or shutters) porch is mostly finished, pool shed built and the window has been installed in the garage. At this time last year the house had had shutters removed, most of the foamboard insulation applied to the house and the garage was wrapped in Typar. Nothing happened from September until May. Every week Paul says he will be in to work, but doesn't usually come. There are many stories for many months about the whereabouts of the front door and sidelights, but they aren't here and other parts of the project rely on this door and sidelight installation to move forward. There are piles of used and unused building materials laying around the house, including where we park our cars. The same place where a large dumpster sat for most of last winter while no one worked on our project. More money was requested by the company and was paid to keep the project moving forward at least a little bit, or so we thought. Paul nearly always promptly and cheerfully answers texts and calls and makes plans to work on our project, but rarely follows through on those plans. The work that is nearly finished is good. It is clear that he is able do a good job on a project and has good attention to detail. Ability is not the issue here. We have no clear idea when he will return or when our project will be completed. Lots of money spent with little to show for it.

Paul was great to work with. Immediate communications before, throughout and after the project, including weekends. Everything was done on time and on budget and I would highly recommend to anyone. If the need arises, I would definitely use Paulâ s services again.

I am very happy with the work completed - First contact to completion was just under 2 1/2 weeks. The crew completed the roof in a half a day cleaned up all debris and my roof looks amazing. I will most definitely use them for future projects.

I do not recommend Paul Secoy/Secoy Custom Structures/Secoy Construction Services for any construction project. Last year, Paul Secoy agreed to build an addition to my home. My personal experience with Paul Secoy was traumatic and I profoundly regret my decision to hire him. Prior to hiring a contractor, I recommend contacting the Office of the Vermont Attorney General Home Improvement Specialist. My contact information is available on other review websites and I have been contacted by others who have had negative experiences with Paul Secoy. Our negative experiences have a lot of similarities which in my opinion is very concerning. **Update to my initial review - I have recently learned Paul Secoy is insured by United Financial Casualty Company. It is my understanding from what I heard, his insurance policy does not cover any roofing operations. This is concerning, because Paul Secoy does roofing work. The advise I received and wanted to pass along to those who are looking to hire a contractor, is to ask for a certificate of insurance, and to take the next step to call the insurance provider and ask if the contractor is covered for the work they plan to do.

It was a pleasure working with Paul. He was professional and very responsive to all my communications.

He promised to do the work in 2 weeks and nothing has been done in 10 weeks.

Great experience with Paul and his team. My wife and I gave Paul a small fuzzy picture of what we were looking for and he nailed it.

Pleasure to work with and professional-quite frankly a luxury

I requested a quote on Angi's List and Paul called and was at my house giving me an estimate within an hour. He started and completed the work the next morning! He replaced a 10"X25" section of roof shingles in 4 hours (3 people). He was extremely professional and very easy to deal with, no games, no drama. And he showed up when he said he would. I would definitely recommend him and use him again for future projects.

Paul has now built us a shed, a new front porch and extended our back deck. All projects were completed in a timely manner and with attention to detail. I highly recommend his services.

Got the job done in a timely manner. Even when running into things that came unexpectedly.

Got the job done in a timely manner. Did a real good job on my bathroom floor and replacing toilet. Cleaned up and took all the waste away. I'm very satisfied with the job they did.

He was a hard worker, dedicated and motivated! Did everything he said he would do. He was willing to please the way we wanted it to be done!

He did a great job and communicated well. He wants to make sure that at the need of the day we are happy.
