A recent customer's major deck renovation turned up 30 feet of foundation sill plate and rim joist rotted through from a 20-plus-year-old deck, and the customer said the J&T team knocked out that repair in a single day. J&T Builders says on its website that it is based in Bethel, serves Fairfield County and builds with second-generation craftsmen. On Google it shows 5 stars from 39 ratings. One recent customer had an existing deck demolished and a new one built with new footings, framing, flashing, decking and railings, plus custom lighting and a gate to a hot tub, and said the project was done earlier than promised. That customer also said JP fixed a crack found in the foundation. A recent customer said a deck replacement was estimated at two weeks and finished in two weeks. A homeowner in Westport said the company repaired the decks on the house. One customer said that after permitting delays with the town, J&T worked to get the deck done in a timely manner, even in a heat wave. A recent customer had an under-deck ceiling system installed and said the install date given at contract signing was kept, with a couple of minor issues fixed on the spot. A recent customer had old basement windows and a door replaced. One customer said J&T removed decorative columns and raised a kitchen center island by 3 inches with no damage to the granite. A front-door customer said the install date moved a few times because of rain and the team kept them updated throughout. A customer needing a deck railing repaired after a fallen tree said JP promptly arranged a visit and the price was quite fair. A recent customer named JP and Tiago as the owners and said the worksite was always left in a clean condition.

JP and his crew were outstanding. I heard of his company on a referral from a good friend who raved about a deck renovation done at his home in Ridgefield. My job was far smaller and involved a repair to my deck railings that was a result of a fallen tree. Despite the smaller scope of the job, JP was happy to promptly arrange a visit at my home. That in itself is a rarity in Fairfield County. The job was professionally done, his workers were polite, finished the job in a timely fashion and the price was quite fair. JP communicated with me throughout the process. All in all, this was a great experience.
JP and team were simply amazing to work with. Everything you want in a partner: Quick turnaround for both an onsite visit and quote, tight scheduling around the project, great quality and fair pricing. Highly recommend working with the team.
From my first interactions with JP, through Thiago, to the site crew, I was extremely impressed with our experience with J&T. The project was to install an under deck ceiling system. At initial contract signing they gave us an install date and stuck to it, and their workmanship was of a very high quality. The couple of (very minor) issues we spotted at the end of the project were very quickly addressed on the spot. We found their pricing to be very fair. I would have no hesitation in recommending J&T to others!
Amazing company! They work effectively and do amazing work!
We are so happy with our beautiful new deck! J&T Builders were great to work with. They were very professional and responsive. After some delays we had with permitting with the town, J&T worked extra hard to get the deck done in a timely manner (even in a heat wave). We couldn't recommend them more!
