Granny Flat Design & Construction Services in Hartford, CT

“Taylor Bryan designed and built a major kitchen/half bath/mudroom renovation for our 1960's home. They were courteous, knowledgable, creative and wonderful to work with. They listened to our wants and needs and worked with us patiently to come to a design that satisfied both our wants in terms of space and our needs in term of a budget. They also were willing to help us envision a fourth bedroom addition that we will hopefully undertake in the near future. We needed to "see" the whole picture renovation before committing to the first-stage of the renovation and they were willing to do this with us. They also worked with us to figure out a solution of where to put the washer/dryer for we had to move it from its existing space on the first floor for the 1st stage of the renovation but weren't ready to put it where it will eventually go once the second stage of the renovation is complete. They began the project on time, finished on time and the price of the project was exactly the price we agreed upon (to the penny). We would recommend them for sure!!!”

“I have hired Haydenville Woodworking and Design twice. This gives an idea of how pleased I am with their work. They redid my master bathroom and the powder room. Each project came out better than I had hoped. Their construction work and their cabinetmaking are excellent. In addition, they were the most pleasant work people I have ever had around. The estimate was very clear and Lance explained all charges in detail. I would not consider using any other company. If you hire Haydenville you will be happy with your project.”

“Very happy with work done in 2013 on second floor of house built in the early 1900's. Crew was respectful of the property and the fact that we lived in the house while under construction. We decided to rehire M L Murdy in 2017 for kitchen and living room remodel. Design plans are impressive, and utilization of space is maximized. Team is responsive to customer's needs, and communication is easy. We highly recommend this company!”

“We hired Faros to remodel our two bathrooms before our son was born this spring. We had a deadline and we were really counting on them to deliver on time - and they blew it out of the water. They show up, are incredibly communicative, and do a stellar job. I don't think any email ever even sat for a few hours unanswered! They are incredibly prompt, skilled, and they CARE. I think this story really exemplifies their level of professionalism: we were having my baby shower at our house and the bathroom still needed to be finished, but unfortunately, a huge snowstorm came and delayed almost every piece of the final installation. The owner and his son came to our house in the middle of the blizzard to finish the job. They wouldn't let it sit unfinished- they even shoveled our driveway to get it done on time! That's the kind of care I'm talking about - you'd be exceptionally lucky to have them work on your house. We look forward to working with them again and constantly recommend them to all of our friends.”

“WBA did my new roof, hardwood floors, plumbing, and other jobs in my renovation. The work was done quickly, professionally, and is beautiful. I would be happy to hire them again or recommend them for projects big and small. They were very helpful and understanding during the renovation loan process.”

“Design-Build: Renovating the Right Way When we first entertained the idea of remodeling our home we worked with an architect to help us figure out how we could make our house function better. We ended up with drawings and had no idea where to go next. During our search for a builder, we learned about design-build which provides one unified flow of work from initial concept through project completion. We engaged Integrity Development & Construction under a single contract to provide design and construction services. The collaborative relationship we built with Heidi, our designer, and Kyle, our Project Manager, during the design phase set the stage for a smooth and successful project. Heidi and Kyle were extremely patient with us, answering all of our questions and providing us with excellent advice and ultimately a great design that addressed our needs. We spent a good amount of time selecting tile, flooring, paint colors, plumbing fixtures, finishes, etc. that all went into the final scope of work which determined the bottom line contract cost. Because Integrity was responsible for both designing AND building the project, great attention was given to pricing and scheduling in the design phase. The costs of all aspects of the project were taken into account early on in the process; all fees, construction costs, finishes, etc. were accounted for in the contract and the cost would only change if we – the homeowners – made changes. On the first day of demolition, we were introduced to Bert who was our lead carpenter for the entire project. He was at our house every day during the entire renovation. Kyle, our project manager, checked in weekly to review any change orders or to discuss upcoming work that was to be done. Both Kyle and Bert were very responsive to any texts/emails we sent with questions or concerns. Any issues we had were addressed immediately and with perfect aplomb. We worked closely with the Integrity team with a shared goal of completing a successful project. We lived in our house during the entire 4 months of demo and construction. Everyone from Integrity was very respectful of our space leaving the house clean and tidy at the end of each workday. We had a great working relationship with Bert, our carpenter which was important as he arrived at our house at 7 AM each and every day. He was incredibly industrious and kept the project on track. At the end of the project when we looked at our new kitchen and two new bathrooms we felt like we were looking at a high-end design magazine. Attention had been paid to every little detail. And the budget stayed on track – no surprises! Strangely we missed all of our Integrity friends after the project was done. When we are ready for another project Integrity will definitely be our first call. Bottom Line: if you want your project to run smoothly, stay on budget, work with fun and interesting people, call Integrity.”

“Absolutely wonderful, professional, competent, practical. Great problem solvers with solutions that are cost saving. They show up on time, call if they are going to be late or need to reschedule, have meticulous workmanship, clean up at the end of each day, finish on schedule and in budget. End result is totally satisfying. A joy to work with. We may purchase another property in order to be able to work with them again!”

“Working with Steve Silverman and his entire crew from Valley Home Improvement has been a wonderful experience. From collaborating on design through to completion they were professional, prompt and courteous. They did a great job of communicating the schedule and quickly adjusted to changes we requested. We had to live in our house through this renovation and V.H.I. worked to make it as smooth a process as possible. Steve even called to wish our daughter a happy birthday after they had completed our kitchen. In the end, the project was completed on time and on budget. We could not be happier with our new kitchen and we would highly recommend Valley Home Improvement to other home owners without hesitation.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Generation2 on the complete renovation of our newly purchased midcentury home. From the planning stages through completion, Jeff Sawyer demonstrated a unique blend of talent and skills that included excellent project management and execution; ability to strike the appropriate balance between taking charge and collaborating with client; refined aesthetic sensibilities and creativity, which resulted in unique features of the home; attention to detail and quality; and keen listening ability, perception of client's needs and desires, & communication skills, which contributed to an effortless collaboration that delivered a functional, beautiful, and unique home. Jeff carries himself in a way that demonstrates his work and professional relationships matter to him. We benefitted from his good relationships with subcontractors as well as from the care and kindness with which he treated us and the integrity and passion with which he carried out all aspects of managing our renovation. The project was completed within the budget and timeframe we initially agreed to. We are grateful to Jeff for our beautiful home. We get so many compliments on the house itself and the design decisions that he helped us to make, and we recommend him to anyone looking to do residential projects, remodeling, or building.”

“Meticulous, fair, honest, easy to deal with, creative in both solving problems and making the job cost-effective. We've engaged Mr. Allentuck for several jobs, starting with replacing over 30 130-year-old windows a few years ago, and, last year, renovating our master bathroom (the project mentioned below). He is currently renovating our ancient porch and front doors and solving a flooding problem in our basement. There were other beautifully done jobs in between and there will be further jobs in the future.”
