One 2017 Houzz reviewer said S&W built their home from top to bottom in 1992, then came back for one major addition and remodeling over the years. The company says on its website that it is a family-run business started in 1983 by Ward Evarts and his son Scott, focused on custom building, historic renovations and remodeling in Fairfield County, CT. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+. A 2017 reviewer described hiring S&W in 2009 for a renovation that touched every room of the house, including a kitchen expansion, three bathroom renovations and a detached two-car garage. That 2017 reviewer said S&W held regular status meetings with them and the architect and coordinated electricians, plumbers, masons and framers to keep the project on schedule. A 2017 customer said another contractor had damaged their home, and S&W fixed the damage and completed the project on budget and on time. A 2017 reviewer wrote that whenever something went wrong, they returned and completed the repair for free. A 2017 customer wrote that S&W is not the cheapest and called the price reasonable. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0554880, as active, held by S & W Building & Remodeling Inc.

The S & W team gets my highest recommendation because of its professionalism, knowledge and experience. They work hard to get it just right according to time, budget and customer/architect specifications. They work with a VERY detailed time-line and will offer suggestions and listen to your input along the way. Their friendly team delivers a very high quality product! Owner Scott Evarts has seen and done it all in the construction business, drawing on over 35 years on the job and the wealth of knowledge of his father, Ward, who previously co-owned the business. He can take on ANY surprise or challenge that might come up. His right hand man, Rich Canale, keeps a laser focus on timing, budget and so much more, so the whole process moves forward at a fast pace and without a hitch.
We engaged S&W in 2009 for an extensive multi-faceted home renovation project. The scope of the project touched every single room in the house in some fashion. The more significant aspect of the project included a complete demolition / renovation and expansion of the kitchen, complete demolition / renovation of three bathrooms, installing built in drawers and closets in 4 bedrooms, installation of an integrated lighting plan throughout the first floor (family room, living room, sun room, library), demolition / installation of a new front entrance way (including stone wall work and blue stone walkway), installation of a detached two car garage and installation of a new paver block driveway. S&W worked very closely with my wife and I on this project which entailed regular project status meetings with us and the architect. S&W has its own team of skilled workman which enables S&W to control the project and they were able to complete the project expeditiously and professionally. S&W did an excellent job of expediting the various trades (electricians, plumbers, masons, framers along with their own staff) which kept the project moving on schedule. I was particularly impressed with S&W's problem solving skills. The scope of the project was significant and I found that S&W was quick to respond to issues as they arose and provided innovative solutions. I would engage S&W again, if I had a project and would strongly recommend them to someone looking for an engaging, professional contractor.
Professional, high quality craftsmanship, outstanding customer service, and a delight to work with. Having worked with other two builders in the past on residential projects, I found S&W to be the gold standard.
Wonderful group to work with. They have thorough knowledge of materials, structures and get the work done. Honest, polite and they Do not leave a mess,very good at budget and estimates, and scope of work. They have worked on Residential and Commerical spaces for me over the last 10 years. I highly recommend S & W. Elizabeth Eakins
The team at S&W provides diverse knowledge and expertise in fulfilling construction and design needs, as well as very helpful with decisions to help move the project along. Construction was completed in a timely manner, on schedule.
