Total Remodeler

Bathrooms are where Total Remodeler has done much of its work, from tub-to-shower conversions to full remodels. The Plainfield company is owned by Richard Matteau, and on Houzz it describes itself as specializing in custom bathrooms and kitchens. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0630809, held by TOTAL REMODELER LLC, is active on the state registry. On HomeAdvisor it holds 4.3 stars from 50 ratings, and on Google 5 stars from 2 ratings. A 2025 Google customer said Rick and his team built two walk-in showers. A 2024 customer said the guys were clean and courteous throughout a bathroom remodel. A 2015 customer said a full bathroom remodel was finished within one week and that Rick stayed within budget. A 2016 customer said Rick and his workers cleaned up thoroughly after a bathtub and tub surround job, and that he came back afterward to install an extra grab bar in the shower for free. The work goes beyond bathrooms. A 2016 customer said Rick and his crew rearranged their schedule on less than two weeks' notice to build a handicapped ramp on a sloped property, then returned to stain the deck. A 2021 customer described a new composite stairway from Rick and his team. A 2014 customer said the company built a sun room and put on a new roof, both within budget. A 2015 customer said parts of a floor joist were cut to fit plumbing, the shower drain was plumbed upside down, and the basement flooded during the plumbing work; that customer said the shower tile and floor work was done nicely. A 2014 customer called the carpentry terrible, saying boards split from the screws and drawers were crooked. A 2014 customer who signed a contract with Richard Matteau described carelessness and a lack of concern for their property.
