Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A tile backsplash in the kitchen, cedar closets built in the bedrooms and a ceiling hole from a plumbing leak sheetrocked: a 2025 customer said Romain did all three for them, and that all three projects were completed within the timeframe provided with the estimate. A 2023 customer identified the business as That French Guy LLC (Romain Travisiol). A recent reviewer wrote: "Very reliable communication and does great work!" A 2025 customer said they hired Romain to replace a ceiling dryer vent connection, repair the drywall, repaint and clean the dryer vent. A 2025 customer said they hired Romain to reinstall and repair their living room baseboards after the floors were done. A 2025 customer said the business replaced their rotted door frame. A 2025 reviewer said Romain was unfazed by a couple of unexpected problems, which he solved on the spot. In a 2024 review, a customer said Romain removed wood trim and replaced it with AZEK, and demolished an old closet between two rooms to make one larger closet; that 2024 customer said the work included painting, framing, electrical, drywall and building shelves. A 2024 customer said Romain installed an Arhaus pendant light and asked many questions during the installation to make sure it would be installed to their liking. A 2024 customer said Romain thought through how to install closet fixtures in their 200-year-old colonial. A 2023 customer said Romain turned a rotting old bilco door into an entryway at the rear of the house and honored his quote. A 2023 customer said Romain mounted a television on the wall above the fireplace and replaced a ceiling light fixture. A 2023 customer said Romain constructed raised garden beds to their specifications. A 2023 reviewer who signed from Essex, CT said Romain was recommended to them by their local hardware store. A 2022 customer said Romain designed and built a retaining wall and cleaned up after the construction was done. A 2022 customer said Romain replaced their soffits and fascia and helped them figure out an issue they were having with their roof. A 2022 customer said Romain installed a toilet in their new home and left the work area cleaner than it was before. **Strengths:** - Projects on schedule — a 2025 customer said three jobs finished within the estimated timeframe - A quote honored — a 2023 customer said Romain honored his reasonable quote - A clean work area — a 2022 customer said he left it cleaner than before - Old-house fixtures — a 2024 customer said he planned installs in a 200-year-old colonial ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Carpentry, from trim and baseboards to closets and door frames _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25sQmFuRklVV1JSYVRNNVdHWnpiRkZJVVc5eFJsRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x552d614206152502!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnlBanFIUWRRaTM5WGZzbFFIUW9xRlE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Romain has done multiple projects for us- a tile backsplash in the kitchen, built cedar closets in bedrooms and sheet rocked a hole in th…” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25sUk4xVjJNekI0VWpWcmVHNHhXR2RrWmpGNWRYYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x552d614206152502!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnlRN1V2MzB4UjVreG4xWGdkZjF5dXc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ The French Carpenter did a wonderful job replacing my rotted door frame.
