Contractors in Ledyard

“Absolutely thrilled with the work Grim Builders did on our kitchen, living room, and bathroom remodel project! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to bringing our vision to life. They managed to complete the remodel on time and within budget, which is a rarity in the industry!

The kitchen is now a stunning focal point of our home, blending functionality with beautiful design. Our living room feels more spacious and inviting, perfect for family gatherings. The bathroom transformation was equally impressive, with stylish finishes that elevate the space.

Communication throughout the project was excellent, and any questions we had were promptly addressed. It's clear that Colin and his team take pride in their work, and it shows in every detail. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to remodel their home. Thank you, Colin and Grim Builders, for making our remodel project a reality!“

“Dave Tetlow and his crew and sub-contractors were a pleasure to work with. They coordinated well and got the work done with great attention to detail. Some of the excavation work was tricky because of limited space and it was a challenge tying the roofs of the existing buildings together. In both cases, the results came out extremely well. Dave was always available and he kept me well informed about all aspects of the progress. He interfaced very well with the electrical, plumbing, heating contractors and inspectors so that the phases of the construction were ready when their input was needed. Overall, the work was done very well and completely.“

“I first met Jon Day in 2013, when he designed and fabricated screen windows for the Steel House at Connecticut College, a modernist gem from the 1930s. Jon immediately grasped the need to create low-maintenance screens that would be easy to handle and that would also be in keeping with the building’s unusual design. His solution was exquisite in its simplicity and also beautifully executed. He did not just care about the work; he was excited by the challenges it presented and eager to add value to the project.Since then we have turned to Jon and his crew time and again to work on personal projects: designing, fabricating and installing storm/screen windows at our old house in Stonington; restoring a 10-foot tall bay window at our current house in Mystic; coordinating the installation of a new roof in connection with repairing and replacing exterior trim; and installing new gutters in keeping with the historic character of this 1885 house. We have been uniformly happy with the process and the product. Jon has always been careful to make sure that he understands our priorities; to review with us detailed written proposals of the work; and to communicate with great transparency about how he sets his prices. During the process, he is always on site to ensure that things are going as planned, to keep the lines of communication open, and to make sure the worksite is safe and clean. Every member of the crew shares Jon’s ethos. It’s no exaggeration to say that they exude joy in their work.The results have been exceptional. Especially at our current house, projects have often been complicated when we have discovered just how badly executed some earlier repairs could be. In those instances, Jon has worked in close collaboration with us to brainstorm and assess the various alternatives. Invariably, we settle on an approach that will address the issue without breaking the bank. Best of all, the new components have always blended in seamlessly with the original building. Thanks to Jon and his crew, we have the pleasure of inhabiting a living, breathing piece of art.“

“I walked into my bathroom this morning - radiant heat floors warming my cold toes - and thought, “Wow, this is my happy place.” Then I walked over to my closet, picked out clothes that I could see matched, sat on my built in bench and thought, “No, THIS is my happy place!” Good news is that I was right both times. We bought our house 10 years ago, complete with its 1991 pink-tiled garden tub, step-in wire shelf closet, smaller-than-a-phone-booth shower and air of desperate sadness. But there were other projects to do, so our bathroom waited…until now. This remodel has changed my life, and it’s Denise Nott and her team at Nutmeg that made it all happen. They were professional, innovative, done on time (even with my changes), under budget and wonderful human beings throughout the process to work with. I can’t tell you how much differently my day starts and ends. My life is simplified. It feels good. Thanks, Denise, Kevin and Nelson and the crew. You’re amazing! I’d give you 10 stars if I could!“
