## The honest read

A 2025 customer who needed an excavator for a detached garage asked four companies for bids, and said Merritt Knight gave the best price and was the only one who took measurements of the site, asked questions and gave advice. That 2025 customer said he and his sons coordinated tasks with the foundation company, put straw and then tarps over the site to protect it from frost, and swept the area clean.

Knight & Sons Construction Inc holds 4.8 stars from 36 ratings on Google. A recent customer called the company responsive and reliable. A recent customer said the project was completed efficiently and communication was smooth.

A 2022 customer said topsoil ordered for a lawn could be delivered the next day and called the prices very reasonable. A 2022 customer said they got a delivery of stone in a few hours on short notice. A 2024 customer said he did not stop until he could drop their sand off in a tight squeeze.

Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0560699, is active on the state registry under the name KNIGHT & SONS CONSTRUCTION CORP.
