## The honest read

K.E. Braza Construction says on its website that it helps shoreline property owners with seawall repair, house lifting, demolition, excavation and new foundations. A hartfordbusiness.com article calls it a construction and excavation business based in Old Saybrook.

A recent Google customer said dumpster delivery and removal were prompt. A 2025 customer said K.E. Braza handled the site preparation and foundation for a new garage. That 2025 customer also said that after the foundation was poured, they graded the property and built the new driveway. A 2023 customer said Kevin Braza assessed a seawall needing significant repair and reinforcement and presented a proposal. A 2024 customer said Kevin replaced their outdoor stairs and completed the job earlier than anticipated. A 2022 customer said Kevin Braza demolished their historic property and saved historic beams and granite from the building. A 2025 customer said Kevin brought a 15 yard dumpster to their house and never pressured them to return it.

A 2025 customer wrote that the septic system Braza put in had failed and the home was only 14 years old. A 2025 customer said a scheduled meeting about a lakeside wall ended in a no-show, with no reply to texts, calls or email. A 2024 customer said Kevin hung up a phone call before they could ask a question. A patch.com article reports that officials said Braza failed to report income to the IRS.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0593227, as active, held by K E Braza Construction LLC.

**Strengths:**
- Garage site work — a 2025 customer said they prepared the site and foundation
- Seawall repair — a 2023 customer said Kevin assessed it and presented a proposal
- Prompt dumpster service — a recent customer said delivery and removal were prompt

**Concerns:**
- A failed septic system — a 2025 customer said the septic system Braza put in failed
- A missed meeting — a 2025 customer said no one showed or replied
- A tax case — patch.com reported officials said Braza underreported income to the IRS
