A. Secondino & Son, Inc. says it has been in business for 30 years, and its website describes new construction and renovation work on office buildings, schools, industrial and manufacturing buildings, multi-family housing developments and medical and biotech facilities. A ctinsider.com article calls it a Branford-based general contractor. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+. A 2022 Google customer said the workers were friendly and helpful and the build quality was sound. That 2022 customer also said a project given a timeline of 2-3 months took 10 months, and that pricing changed several times after the work began. In the same 2022 review, the customer said they were billed thousands of dollars extra for "code compliance" that they tied to plans not being submitted to the town before work started, and that final invoices were sent 4 months before the work was completed. That 2022 customer also said subcontractors damaged camera systems on two occasions. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0504219, as active, held by A Secondino & Son Inc; Rhode Island lists its contractor registration, GC-38542, as invalid.
“The Board of Selectmen gave its unanimous approval to enter into a contract with A. Secondino & Son Inc., a Branford-based general contractor, to build the 19,000-square-foot facility .”
“Once again, the town is pushing back against contractor A. Secondino & Son, Inc. regarding its progress on the Wilton Police Department’s headquarters building project.”
While In a company vehicle driver was driving it like he stole the truck, cut me off within inches. If he cant drive a pickup truck safely on I95 he cant be trusted to work on any of your projects. Just food for thought, in a company vehicle drive with integrity and respect for other drivers.
Overall, a mediocre experience with some highs and many lows. The workers were friendly and helpful, the build quality was sound, the communication was sporadic (sometimes on point, sometimes seriously delayed), the project was given a timeline of 2-3 months but took 10 months, the original estimate was reasonable but pricing changed several times after the work began (and this was new construction so there was nothing that couldn't have been foreseen), and resolution of issues took months to address. The main issues were the delays in the project that was in their control, they didn't submit plans to the town and then billed me for thousands of dollars extra that were due to "code compliance" but really were due to them not submitting plans to the town before starting work, and the billing department sent final invoices 4 months before the work was even completed. To top it all off the owner threatened to sue because his billing team pre-billed final invoices 4 months in advance and he thought the payment was overdue, but what was overdue was his attention to a project that had taken 4-5 times the original timeline and not communicating with billing about their errors since the work was completed months after final invoice. This doesn't even account for some of the subs they used who damaged camera systems, then lied about it, on two occasions. So, the build quality and workers get a 5, the sales team gets a 4, but the company gets a 1 due to way too many issues on too many fronts across multiple divisions and the owner really not willing to see anything but his point of view. So, overall I give it a 3.
