Several of Oronoque Home Improvement's customers have come back for job after job. In an October 2023 Google review, a homeowner said they had called Jim for major projects over the last eleven years, this time a deck and two entry porches redone in composite. A September 2017 Angi reviewer said they had trusted the company since buying their house in 2004, and a June 2022 Google reviewer described a leak-driven bathroom remodel as their second project, after a full re-siding, trim, doors and roof job five to six years earlier. The Stratford company says it was founded in 1980 by Jim and Candy Faris as a painting company and later added carpentry, siding, decks, windows and doors. It offers free estimates and says it is insured. Angi shows 4.8 stars from 68 ratings, Google 4.9 from 11, HomeAdvisor 4.8 from six and Houzz 5.0 from two. Decks come up in reviews from 2019 to 2025. A September 2025 Angi customer said that when town building and zoning issues ruled out the larger deck they had planned, the crew built a patio in that space instead. An October 2022 reviewer said the team showed up at 8 am every day and finished a deck in five days. In a March 2023 Angi review, a multifamily landlord described a porch rebuild, a bathroom fan vented outside and a unit repair, and said Jim called during a cold snap to remind them to plug in the heated pipe wire his crew had installed. Cost and timing draw the complaints. A June 2019 Angi reviewer said the final bill came in 28% over the estimate. A May 2019 customer called the price for a composite porch deck a bit high and said the job ran longer than expected, though Jim stuck to the quoted price. Two other reviewers, in 2018 and 2019, said hidden water damage or a leak behind siding added to the cost, and one credited Jim with photographing the damage and explaining the rebuild. In an April 2018 Angi review, a snow-removal customer called the work overpriced and unprofessional, said the driveway was plowed after they asked it not to be, and said they paid someone else to finish. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0607892, is active and held by Oronoque Home Improvement LLC.
Jim Faridi from Oronoque Home Improvement and his staff are Professional, Prompt, and Knowledgeable! I would recommend them highly. They replaced two storm doors for us and did a fantastic job!
We hired OHI to do a complete overhaul of our recently purchased condo. The owner Jim Farris has been involved in the entire process from initial proposal to over sight of his crew. Jim is responsive and not only suggests changes but he listens to what you have envisioned and makes it happen. His crew is professional, personable and focused on their impeccable work. We are not done yet but have complete confidence that our home will be beautiful when done.
From start to finish the experience of having my new composite deck installed was excellent. The entire team deserves a 5 star rating. If you’re considering a home improvement project, I recommend Oronoque Home Improvement. Their team is skilled, professional and dedicated to completing the project on time. My backyard has been returned to my oasis.
We recently had a fantastic experience with Jim / OHI. They built us a beautiful new deck and installed a patio door, and the workmanship was excellent from start to finish. When we ran into unexpected building and zoning issues with the town, they were incredibly flexible and worked with us to adjust the project. Instead of the larger deck we originally planned, they created a stunning patio in that space, which turned out even better than we imagined. The crew was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented, and the results have transformed our backyard. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend OHI to anyone considering a deck or patio project.
Project was completed sooner than promised - high quality workmanship. I recommend OHI.
