Larry and Joyce Tomasetti describe themselves on their website as a team in work and marriage for over 30 years. Their Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0642172, is active on the state registry in the name Tomasetti Builders & Remodelers LLC. In a 2021 review, a customer described a kitchen renovation that began on its scheduled date at the end of 2020: the old kitchen was gutted and the walls opened to the dining and living rooms, and a slider was added in the dining area. That 2021 customer said Joyce took them to stores to choose items such as the backsplash, floor tiles and faucet, and that the foreman, Joe, gave daily summary updates on the days they worked. A 2020 customer said the company fabricated, installed and painted extensive shelving in the basement of their new home, with carpenters Joe and Mike building the shelves off-site and a painter, Kurt, prepping and painting them. A 2020 customer said the main beam under the house was replaced, and that when rot meant extra work, they were shown the problem right away and gave approval before it was done. That 2020 customer called the price reasonable for such a big job.
“This charming Terryville remodel and addition is the perfect blend of comfort, character and custom design. In collaboration with Tomasetti Builders & Remodelers, Viking Design & Sales Specialist Xander Levinson helped transform the home into an inviting space for modern living.”
We hired Tomasetti Builders & Remodelers at the end of 2020 to renovate our kitchen. The project involved completely gutting the old kitchen and opening up the walls to make it an open space to our dining room and living room. In addition, we added a slider to the dining room area. The project was scheduled to begin November 2nd and began as planned. The owner Larry and his wife Joyce were very nice to work with when preparing the contract and initiating the project. Prior to meeting Larry and Joyce, my husband and I had a design of the new kitchen already, but Joyce took us to the stores they engaged with on a regular basis to select kitchen items such as the backsplash, floor tiles, and kitchen faucet. Joe was the project foreman and the one we consistently worked with on a daily basis. Joe came with his co-worker Mike to perform the work. They were extremely professional to work with and Joe was an excellent communicator. Joe provided daily summary updates on the days they worked on the project in addition to next steps. When I reached out to Joe, his response was prompt in providing answers to my questions. Joe ensured the contractors were kept informed of the situation and adjusted their scheduling as needed based on project progression. Both Mike and Joe worked hard every day they were present and Joe ensured the job progressed so that it was complete as close to the agreed upon timeline, as possible. Joe ensured the job met our expectations. Our satisfaction was his ultimate goal. Mike and Joe are the reason our kitchen renovation was done exactly how we wanted. We are ecstatic with the renovation results and would recommend hiring Tomasetti Builders with Joe and Mike working on the job.
Was quick and easy to make apt
Date was set quickly. Everyone working to replace the main beam under my house was attentive to the details of the work. Extra work had to be done because of rot and we were immediately shown the problem and gave approval before extra work was done. Price was reasonable for such a big job, and we are VERY pleased with all the problems that this fixed !
We often heard about the nightmares others had suffered in having work done in their homes but evidently they hadn't heard of nor therefore hired Tomasetti Builders and Remodelers, which did a great job fabricating, installing and painting extensive shelving in the basement of our new home. Larry Tomasetti, mastermind behind the scenes, has assembled a team of outstanding dedicated professionals. Joe and Mike, the carpenters who built the shelves off-site and then installed them, take great pride in their work and bring extensive experience, expertise and know-how to the job. They are also quick-on-their-feet and customer friendly, informing us of any challenges encountered during the installation, presenting the pros and cons of alternative solutions and while not reluctant to offer advice leaving it up to us to decide how to proceed. A talented dynamic duo with a strong work ethic. Highly recommended. As for the painter, Kurt, too, did a masterful job. Described by Joe and Mike as a painter who can make even poor carpentry look good and as a veritable "magician with a brush", Kurt lived up to the billing. In every way. Like Joe and Mike, he, too, takes great pride in his craft, stays on top of the latest product innovations in the field and gives lots of thought to what is best for the job at hand and what will be most pleasing to the customer. Kurt was remarkably thorough and meticulous in prepping the shelves, the importance of which, we learned, cannot be exaggerated when seeking a fully integrated built-in look. His painting was equally careful and conscientious, the finished product exactly what we wanted. Yes, Kurt is truly the man with the "magic brush". Highly recommended. In sum, Tomasetti Builders and Remodelers managed to meet our highest expectations.
They did a great job and always responded to my calls. In addition, they were always prompt and on time. It was easy to deal with them and they took my ideas to heart. It was a very good working relationship.
