Seaside Restoration describes itself as a full service design, remodel and restoration company in East Haddam, CT, and says it has over twenty-eight years of ground-up building experience. A 2024 customer described a major remodel of a 1700's farmhouse and praised the demo, framing and ceiling and floor work. That 2024 customer said the project called for raising ceilings, a staircase to code, a great room made from several small rooms and opening up the entire attic floor. The same 2024 customer said Thor worked well with subcontractors and coordinated everyone as needed. A 2024 customer said the owner and an employee kept them informed during the entire process and arrived on time every time. A 2024 customer with a historic-era home said the company was skilled at matching the design for the exterior and that there were no surprise cost increases at the end. A 2017 customer said Thor created an arched opening from a photo of their idea, with an itemized cost estimate. A 2017 customer said the company renovated their laundry room, repairing walls and installing a new ceramic floor, and cleaned up after. A 2017 customer said Thor opened up a kitchen wall and trim from a photo and gave an accurate, itemized quote. A 2023 customer, writing about adding a second floor to a house, did not recommend the company for large-scale renovations, saying it came to the initial meeting smelling of beer and made no reference to building codes, an architect or subcontractors. A 2018 customer said a lot of the work was done well but that they had to pay a considerable amount of money because part of the work was not up to code.

High quality, professional & experienced. We would use them for our next project and recommend you do too.
We highly recommend this company for home improvements or restoration projects. The owner and employee of the company kept us informed about what they were doing during the entire process. They arrived on time every time and articulated any changes that were necessary to the project. Very fair pricing and great customer service. Extremely pleased with the professional service and results.
Worked last year with Seaside Renovation to do a major remodel of a 1700's farmhouse. When it came to demo, framing, ceilings/floors, they did great work. We needed to raise ceilings, put in a staircase that was to code, create a great room out of several small rooms and open up the entire attic floor. The end result was simply lovely. Thor works well with subcontractors, coordinates everyone as needed and knows who to hire based on the job. He is also a creative problem-solver. We used subs for electrical (Dave is the best!!), plaster, paint and HVAC, to mention a few.
I have a historic era home that needed a variety of repair and improvement to be completed. They are very skilled at matching the design for the exterior and using quality products. Always arrived on time. The cost for the work was reasonable and there were no surprise cost increases at the end! Seaside Restoration is knowledgeable, quality and cares about working with masterful skills and integrity. I am an also a REALTOR. Therefore I have seen a lot of what’s out there and they are second to none!
Do not recommend for large scale. Renovations. Came to the initial meeting smelling of beer. Made absolutely zero reference to any building codes, regulations, use of an architect, subcontractors and related trades, or anything else that would be expected when adding a second floor to a house. Also suggested being able to do siding on the second floor of a house before doing siding on the first floor. Also made assumptions in regards to the strength of concrete and the suitability of using it as a footing and support for the second floor. Somehow was able to take one measurement after being at the job site for less than half an hour and able to give ballpark estimate on the cost for the job
