Their work was done with a great deal of craftmanship and care. Dmytro was a great project manager. He handled all the project details and our specific requests in a professional timely manner. We are very happy with how our renovation turned out and would gladly hire Abbott Builders again. ### All 14 reviews **★★★★★ — landscapezz, Nov. 2022** > Fifteen years ago I was looking for a carpentry contractor. I had the opportunity to take a look at the finish carpentry at another house in town just nearing completion. I found the quality of the work outstanding, and I asked who the contractor was. It was Dmytro Dovgan, the principal at Abbott Builders. > In the ensuing fifteen years, he and his team did all the finish carpentry on our 7,500 SF house in New Canaan, including two substantial remodels. This has included every aspect of residential work: installing doors and windows, interior partitions, installing hardware, shelving and cabinetry, and above all beautiful running trim and trim details. > I found him a pleasure to work with: always willing to go the extra mile; always able to suggest solutions to any design or materials problems. His team of carpenters has changed over the period. But, not during any particular job. His lead carpenters have been dedicated, experienced craftsmen. Good at reading plans. Good at laying out jobs precisely before starting. His assistant carpenters have always been competent and efficiently used to keep costs down. Never pushed ahead of their experience level. > We began working fixed price. But, I quickly found that working hourly was more cost effective. Abbott Builders has been one of the few contractors one could trust to fill every hour with an hour’s worth of work. If there is an unresolved design detail or missing materials, they’ll just switch to another task automatically. If they complete the current list, they’ll down tools and stop charging. They like doing their best work. Working hourly helps ensure they get to do it. > Dmytro has always been very flexible. When I needed 5 carpenters, I got 5 carpenters. When I only needed one, I got one. If work could be done more efficiently at his shop – cabinetry, custom molding profiles, panels – then it would be done there simultaneously with the work continuing on site. > > Abbott Builder’s prices have always been very competitive: always adding value to the overall project. We all know vendors where work is not as fast as one would wish, but where invoicing is remarkably quick. If Dmytro has one fault, it’s that you sometimes have to remind him a few times to get an invoice. But the invoices are accurate and fair. > > Dmytro and his team are very experienced, businesslike, and efficient. He’s available when you need him and communicates well. Not all his carpenters are fluent English speakers. Where not, he teams them with others who are. Dmytro himself has always been patient, polite, reasonable and reliable on project after project. > > I never hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering a residential construction job from a whole house to a small remodel. **★★★★★ — Mrs. Wilson, March 2021** > This review is 3+ years in the making. Initially in 2018, I reached out to Abbott Builders for a quote on finishing the attic of my 2 bed 1 bath 1940s cape cod home. Dmytro promptly answered my inquiry and we scheduled a time to meet and discuss what I had in mind. When the day of our appointment arrived, he was punctual and professional, providing detailed references which I appreciated very much. I met with several architects/Builders and Dmytro was a clear stand out candidate for our project because he was honest, knowledgeable, flexible, and accommodating. Due to a family emergency, we held off starting the project right away. I still kept in contact with Dmytro when my husband and I had questions about the possibilities of our future project. Then in March of 2020 (March 12th, 2020...at the beginning of the pandemic) We reached out to Dmytro of Abbott Builders to finally get our project started. The timing was crazy with the pandemic but I was also 6 months pregnant. Dmytro took all the precautions. Though we mostly met over zoom, if we did meet in person, he made sure to wear all the appropriate PPE. We ended up adding a dormer and two skylights to our attic transforming it from creepy storage space into two lovely bedrooms, a comfortable bathroom, and hall closet. Throughout the process, Dmytro was amazing!...amazing and patient! We changed our mind so many times I lost count and yet he was patient; always ready to help. He always answered our calls, or followed up as soon as he was able. I cannot stress enough what a stellar experience we had using Abbott Builders and working with Dmytro. If you use his services for your project you will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Marilen Tilt, Feb. 2018** > Abbott Builders transformed 2 rooms in our pre Civil War home into contemporary, aesthetically handsome and newly functional spaces. Dmytro, the head contractor was professional, detail oriented and highly communicative at all times. His capable workers were polite and pleasant throughout the process. Time and budget constraints were well maintained. We are extremely pleased with the result. **★★★★★ — jules vandenberg, Aug. 2017** > ABBOTT BUILDERS, spearheaded by Dmitri, does fine mill work wood carpentry. Their cuts are to the 18th of an inch. Perfection is their basic standard. Dmitri responds immediately to potential project requests. He hears you and what you want. He describes different ways to accomplish your goals or vision. He verbally talks you through potential costs at the very beginning. And then happily and within 24 to 48 hours sends you an architectural drawing and a detailed estimate. Dmitri is a kind, respectful and talented builder/ home improvement specialist. Cannot say enough about his project insights and his work ethic. It took months to find him. **★★★★★ — Rod Rahe, May 2017** > We had Abbott Builders build a two car garage and replace windows on the first and second floor of our house. In building the garage we had to alter and expand the driveway into a rock ledge and building a retaining wall. The work was very well done. Dymtro was friendly and took the time to explain what was being done. His crew were friendly and focused on their work. The project was well coordinated to have the right skill on the job at the right time, ie, carpenters, electricians, stone masons, and painters. Dymtro was always available if we had question on the construction, billing or materials. If there was a problem, we discussed and together came up with a workable solution. The free standing garage was built to look like our house and looks like it was always here. **★★★★★ — sbrough78, March 2017** > We hired Abbot Builders to finish our basement. They were Professional, efficient, punctual, and fairly priced. Definitely plan to use them again for any projects in the future. **★★★★★ — Joan Bergen, Aug. 2016** > Dymtryo and his crew did exceptional work. They were timely, neat, and on budget. Everything was handled as promised and I would 100% recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — HU-7526643, July 2016** > The work performed was excellent., on schedule and within budget. The crew was very professional and highly skilled. I would highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — HU-721826, July 2016** > We have used Abbott builders on two homes. One was our daughter and son in law's house. He designed and built a beautiful addition in which he expanded the family room and added a master bedroom above. Everything was on time and on budget and our kids moved back in just as they welcomed our 2nd grandson. The other project was a total gut and redo of an investment property....new everything. It was done so well, my wife decided to keep it as an overflow house for our growing family. Thank you Dmytro. **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2016** > I cannot recommend Abbot Builder highly enough. I have worked with several contractors over the years and all were good but none can compare to my experience with Dmytro and his crew. Estimates are realistic, flexible and very competitive. What I particularly appreciated was the creative solutions offered when the inevitable unexpected issues (mine was a 100 year old, poorly constructed home) would arise. I also appreciated the attention to detail - like installing plywood panels under drywall where towel bars or racks were to be installed. No more dealing with dry wall anchors or molly screws! > The crew was professional, meticulous and thoroughly cleaned up every day. After the 9 month job was completed, Dmytro routinely followed up to make sure I was happy with the results. He was also very patient with all my plan modifications! > I was so happy with the work that I contracted with him again on a second garage project. > Our renovation was very complex. I am convinced there is no home project that Abbott Builders cannot handle while employing the highest level of craftsmanship at a fair price. **★★★★★ — taniahugo, Jan. 2016** > Abbott Builders is an exemplary contracting firm. They are particular to detail > while also being innovative regarding the total project. We were very satisfied > with their pricing structure and I felt they worked with my best interests in mind. > Abbott receives my full blown recommendation and I will welcome the opportunity > to discuss this recommendation with any interested party. **★★★★★ — generinldi, June 2015** > Abbott Builders: Professional, Competent, Trustworthy with reasonable prices. > What more can one say! They framed a 2 1/2 story addition to a 75 year old church. They showed up every day finished on time and left the job clean every day. **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2014** > Dmytro, the owner of Abbott Builders, is highly experienced, reliable and trustworthy general contractor. I'm an architectural designer who referred Dmytro's company to one of my costumers. He exceed all my and costumer's expectations. Project was completed on time with excellent craftsmanship. Everybody was happy! I highly recommend Dmytro!! He is the best!! ## Selected projects - [Westport Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westport-remodeling-pj-vj~674887) - Location: Westport, CT - Photos: 4 - [Westport New Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westport-new-residence-pj-vj~75139) - Location: Westport, CT - Photos: 6 - [New Canaan Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-canaan-addition-pj-vj~1442391) - Location: Darien, CT - Photos: 5 - [New Canaan Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-canaan-bathroom-pj-vj~2365936) - Location: New Canaan, CT - Photos: 5 - [Rowayton Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rowayton-remodeling-pj-vj~674885) - Location: Norwalk, CT - Photos: 2 - [Fireplace Gazebo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fireplace-gazebo-pj-vj~642729) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Slate roof cedar gazebo with stone fireplace Landscape done by Elice Nursery and Landscapes, New Canaan CT - [Norwalk Exterior Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/norwalk-exterior-remodeling-pj-vj~674921) - Location: Norwalk, CT - Photos: 3 - [New Canaan Improvements](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-canaan-improvements-pj-vj~674889) - Location: New Canaan, CT - Photos: 5 - Description: Exterior gables trim build up.
