Decks are the job General Solution is hired for most. Its own site lists deck projects in Orange, Fairfield, North Haven, Wilton and Westport, and on Thumbtack the company describes itself as a builder of custom decks in composite and PVC with modern rail systems. It holds 5 stars from 22 Google ratings and 4.9 stars from 93 Thumbtack ratings. A 2022 customer said Kris upgraded a 25-plus-year-old wood deck to composite with aluminum railings, a three-level job where two workers did the bulk of the work and Kris handled a couple of unexpected hiccups along the way. A 2022 customer wrote that two decks were built at their home in Kent, with an under-deck water management system to control moisture and new composite Trex decking boards. A 2023 customer said the deck price was fair and the work was done in record time. A 2026 Thumbtack customer said the workers repaired a crack in the porch before installing railings. The work goes beyond decks. A 2024 customer said Kris and his crew added a bathroom to an unfinished basement furnace room, coming six days a week, and that about a month after it was finished there had been zero issues. A 2026 Google customer said the company remodeled two rooms into three at a summer house and delivered everything on time. A 2022 customer came home to a carport roof built off a shed during a job that customer was not around for. A 2021 customer said the price rose slightly over the original quote because of an issue found in the house, and was glad of it because of the beam placement. A 2018 Thumbtack customer said a job quoted at $250 came in for less once the problem turned out to be just shingles, not the vent. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0660108, as active, held by General Solution LLC.

Nice guy, his workers were very professional. they repair a nice crack in the porch before installing railings. looks great! Will use again.
I had a positive experience with General Solution LLC. I was facing a challenging decision in balancing spatial efficiency with comfort, and they managed to design and construct a deck that achieved this balance flawlessly. The addition of an elegant railing system and a beautifully integrated terrace significantly enhanced both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the space. Equally important, all work was executed in strict compliance with applicable building codes and safety standards. As a parent, safety is my top priority, and their commitment to ensuring a secure and well-constructed environment gave me complete peace of mind.
Kris and his team are the best. Quality of work was amazing. Communication about scheduling, changes, and ideas for moving forward was excellent. The workers are polite, professional, and very friendly. I highly recommend General Solution and am already talking with Kris about other projects.
I really enjoyed working with Kris company, they did a great job. We decided to remodel two rooms into three for our summer house. They showed us samples, worked efficiently, and delivered everything on time. Reliable, professional, and easy to work with.
I got a quick response and he was on time every day they where here doing my deck. Super excited about my new deck. I will definitely hire again.
