Last 6 months: 9 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A recent customer with a 40-year-old bathroom said Matias gutted it and started from the studs, back through the tile work and a new floor, at a fair price. MDC Home Improvement's website says Sebastian built the company around quality work and personal service. It holds 4.9 stars from 28 Google ratings and 5.0 from 20 Thumbtack ratings. A recent customer said Sebastian and Gabrielle converted a staircase and Jacuzzi into an oversized walk-in shower with a niche and bench, and that he installed a glass barn-style shower door and a medicine cabinet. A recent customer hired Sebastian to replace their mom's bathtub with a new shower; he added a wall to accommodate the drain, moved the shelves next to the shower so she could reach the top one, and cleaned up each night of the 3-day project. A recent customer said Sebastian painted the whole house. A recent customer said he fixed and painted a wall and replaced the switches and outlets. A 2025 customer, an architect, said MDC replaced an old two-piece fiberglass shower with a solid surface pan and seamless shower walls in three days. A 2025 customer said Sebastian and his team created a closet to house a laundry machine and re-tiled a kitchen floor. A 2024 customer said Sebastian and his crew built a handicap accessible curb-less shower. A 2024 customer said Sebastian gave a detailed estimate and an accurate start date for a bathroom renovation, and the work was completed within the estimated timeframe despite complications from the age and condition of the house. A 2023 customer said Sebastian vacuumed and cleaned wherever he worked each day, and that there were no seams in the walls after the sheetrock was replaced. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0666770, as active, held by MDC Home Improvement LLC. **Strengths:** - Tub-to-shower conversion — a recent customer said he added a wall for the drain - Walk-in shower build — a recent customer described a niche, bench and glass door - Accurate timeline — a 2024 customer said work finished within the estimate - Daily cleanup — a 2023 customer said Sebastian vacuumed each day ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Gutted a 40-year-old bathroom to the studs and rebuilt it through the tile work and a new floor, a recent customer said _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT205V2NHbGFaM0JwVUhjMU1ESmZSMVJpZDI0NFpXYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xff639ea824bbb16b!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm9WcGlaZ3BpUHc1MDJfR1Rid244ZWc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I wanted to renovate my 40 year old bathroom, and I called a few different contractors that I found and MDC was one of them, and from the…” - The company's website says Sebastian built MDC around quality work and personal service _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.mdchomecare.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Sebastian built MDC around quality work and personal service.
