Patio install for customer to put hot tub on. Had to dig down 23” on one end towards house in order to get level grade to yard. Installed 3 separate layers of base from heavy, medium, fine materials and compacted every 3” to ensure no lifting, or settling of patio in the future. Will need to add one set of stairs to existing stairs onto patio after hot tub install.

Small tile job. Many contractors don’t remove the floor trim and cut the door jambs to slide tile under for a flawless look. These details are important and often overlooked just to get the job done. After a few months you’ll notice shrinking and cracking of grout in these areas as it’s grout to wood. Don’t cut corners.

Unfortunately the home improvement trade is full of shady contractors that cut corners. Before hiring any contractor ask to see their H.I.C license and then check CT registry and see if is valid and look for complaints against the company. Second ask for insurance. Third ask for references and lastly just google search their business. Not all contractors are good, trustworthy or reputable. This customer was lied to then ignored. She had a roofing contractor install a new roof. So she thought. He shingled over the existing old shingles, flashed the chimney wrong, used clear silicone caulk which was still wet in spots, didn’t seal around the flashing properly or any roof vents and left screws holes on the new shingles from attaching his safety tie off anchor. This home owner called numerous times because she was having leaks in her house when it rains. The contractor wouldn’t return her call and blocked her number. She called from a different number and he hung up and blocked that number. She searched his business after and found numerous OSHA violations and complaints for the same things she was dealing with. She also went to the local town hall because he said he pulled a permit. Well.....he never did. The work was done illegally. She reached out to us for help. We made the appropriate repairs to her roof and sealed everything up for her. We also took before and after photos and filled out a statement with a list of things we found wrong with her new roof and the repairs made to correct those things so she can pursue this contractor legally.
