Home Designs by Bruno describes itself on its website as a source for custom home building and design services in Lebanon, CT, and the surrounding area, and says it has been at it since 1975. The service area it names runs through Plainfield, Norwich, New London, Colchester, Lebanon, Bozrah, Franklin, Windham, Hebron and Montville. Local news outlets have described it as a Colchester home builder. A 2023 Google customer said Bruno was responsive, clear with his pricing and detailed in his blueprint design for their large addition, and that his price for the blueprints was half as much as other architects and design firms. The 2023 customer added that their builder said they were the most detailed blueprints he had seen in 35 years of building. A 2025 Google customer said that after six weeks on a job finishing items a prior contractor had left undone, they took a break, and Mr Bruno and his team then refused to return because, the customer wrote, they were very detailed in their expectations and hovered over workers too much. The 2025 customer said it took 3 months before being told the time slot would not open. A 2023 Google reviewer called the owner very unprofessional and said she accuses people of crimes on social media.
“In 2009, the advertising arm of SNET filed suit in New Haven against Hayn and his business Home Designs by Bruno for failing to pay for a yellow pages ad.”
“along with local home builder Home Designs By Bruno of Colchester and hundreds of volunteers will work over the next several days to complete the new home at 100 Preston City Road in Voluntown.”
“The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” designers will build the family a new home with the help of Colchester builder, Home Designs By Bruno, and hundreds of volunteers and workers.”
Sad to say but professionalism is not part of the offering for Mr Bruno. After 6 weeks on the job to finish out other items left undone by a prior contractor, we decided to take a breather. That said, he and his "A" team refused to return due to the fact I was very detailed in my expectations and "hovered" over workers too much!!! As a paying customer, this is a strange response. I am a professional NCIDQ designer and know what details are to be expected for construction on a job site. Not only they didn't come back but took 3 months to pretend my time slot was coming open then said nope!!! More likely a female with knowledge is a bit of a threat. Not worthy of a good review for others to consider hiring Mr Bruno and his team.
Bruno is the best and is very responsible also on point when it comes to his business, I will recommend him 100%
They are a great business i recommend them.
Excellent Company I recommend 100%
Owner likes to play nasty on social media and accuses people of crimes. She's likely to get herself hit with a libel or slander suit soon. Very unprofessional and not worth doing business with when there are so many better options in town.
