The Ridgefield general contractor shows 3.4 stars from 5 Google ratings and 3.7 from 3 on Houzz, and its four written reviews run from 2013 to 2025. The newest written review is a warning. In April 2025, a 1-star Google reviewer said the company may come in with a low estimate, but that work done directly by the contractor or his crew is "subpar at best," calling it work by "unskilled labor he picks up last minute," and that he fails to follow through on promises. An August 2024 Google review says only that the company was very responsive. The older Houzz reviews are warm. In January 2018, a customer said Joe Pisoni and his team turned a small cape into a 5,000 sq. ft. home on time and on budget about ten years earlier, with no settlement cracks or peeling paint nine years on, and recently finished a second small project. A January 2013 review from an architect who designed several renovations Stonecrest built calls Joe the owner and says he stays available through the whole process. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0572443, is active, held by Stonecrest Builders LLC. **Strengths:** - Major renovation — a 2018 review describes a cape rebuilt to 5,000 sq. ft. **Concerns:** - Crew quality — a 2025 review called the contractor's own work subpar - Follow-through — the same review says promises went unkept ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 3.4 stars from 5 Google ratings; 3.7 from 3 on Houzz _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Stonecrest%20Builders&query_place_id=ChIJA60hCyiqwokR3pYrkbOvSCg) — “Google: 3.4★ from 5 ratings” - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/stonecrest-builders-pfvwus-pf~1578360616) — “Houzz: 3.7★ from 3 ratings” - Connecticut home improvement contractor registration HIC.0572443 is active, held by Stonecrest Builders LLC _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT hic license HIC.0572443 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: STONECREST BUILDERS LLC” - An April 2025 1-star review said the contractor's own crew work is subpar, done by unskilled labor, and promises go unkept _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNvdXAzelBBEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0x2848afb3912b96de!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgMCoup3zPA%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “1★ Avoid at All Costs!
