Midway through a kitchen gut in a 1933 New London house, the water heater died, and Mike arranged for a replacement to be installed the very next day. That is from a December 2021 Google review in which a customer wrote that Stress Free Solutions completely gutted and renovated the kitchen, that payment expectations were set early and did not change except for agreed extras, and that Mike, Ryan and Clive cleaned up at the end of each day.

We used Mike and his team to build a new deck this spring. Mike was responsive, kind and the job was done incredibly fast with no mess left behind. Excellent service, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and refer them to others
I can’t say enough good things about this company. They show up when expected, communicate effectively, and perform excellent work. Good contractors are difficult to find. I’ve had Stressfree perform many jobs for me and I have received nothing but professional work from a polite crew of craftsmen. I was lucky that a friend recommend them to me, I have never looked for another contractor.
Mike Rivas and his team did a great job with our home. His rates were reasonable his results were excellent, and done on time. (earlier actually) Clive and Ryan were professional, friendly, and focused on the job. Our family liked having them here. This area has a lot of talented pros, and I met with a number of them. We are so glad that We went with Stress Free Solutions. They are terrific.
Mike and his team worked on my front porch for about a week. Very considerate, organized, punctual and knowledgeable. I have a small child and they took care to clean up every day. They know what they are doing and do their work well. You get what you pay for! I am happy with the end result and would consider using this business again in the future.
