Sunlight Construction’s customer complaints include deposits tied up without construction and unfinished work in a newly built home. In a February 2023 review, a customer said the company took a 10% deposit, had neither started building nor obtained permits after 20 months, and then failed to return the deposit within a promised 90 days. That customer said they hired an attorney and gave a deposition to Connecticut’s consumer-protection department. A September 2022 reviewer said work in their new home remained incomplete almost two years later. A June 2025 customer praised the crew’s results and ease of working with them. Google lists two stars from eight ratings. The Avon company describes its work on Houzz as land development, excavation and residential construction management. Its Connecticut home-improvement registration is expired. The Hartford Courant has reported litigation involving the company, while CT Insider has covered permit-related allegations; these are attributed reports, separate from the customer reviews.
“According to the affidavit, town officials said that no permits have been applied for or granted to Ferrigno or his Avon-based company, Sunlight Construction, for the property at 28 Windsor Court.”
“With the death of the Sunlight Construction owner, lawsuits involving millions of dollars of claims against the Avon-based company are expected to continue in the complex litigation section of Waterbury Superior Court.”
Sun Construction crew did an excellent job. Very pleased with results guys were great and easy to work with. Highly recommend this company. Armindo
RUN! Don't walk...far away from this company. William "Bill" Ferrigno, owner, is the reason that contractors get a bad name. Sunlight took our 10% deposit for a new construction home build. 20 months later not only had they not even started construction they never even pulled any permits. Bill was condescending and manipulative. He lied about reasons for delays for months. When confronted he offered to return our money. He asked for 90 days to return our money since he already spent it working on other projects. 90 days to begin with was ridiculous but then, in line with our experience, he failed to return our deposit. We had to hire an attorney as well as provide a deposition to the department for consumer protection. He continued to gas light and lie until we were scheduled to be in court. We had researched Sunlight before signing a contract. It appears they had a legitimate business in the past however, given the economy and issues created by COVID Sunlight's owner has become a scam artist. If we can save one other honest family from having to go through what we went through, then this review will be worth it. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BIULDER!
Won't pay their bills
I would strongly advise not to go with this builder. Almost 2 years in, he is yet to finish incomplete work in my newly constructed home. Based on my conversation with multiple neighbors, such behavior has become the norm rather than the exception. I would also recommend checking in with the town if you want to learn more about this builders responsiveness.
