Green Building Companies in Bridgeport

“1 Creation Construction is a company I highly recommend because of the quality of the work that was done in the kitchen and the professionalism and knowledge they have. I used 1 Creation for a complete kitchen remodel. All new appliances, which the suggestions given for which to go with and why, I was very pleased with the new placements and installations. The work done was customized to my needs and wants of a dream kitchen. The countertops and sink ideas came out better at completion than I imagined. The cabinets now are updated and go great with the design and layout. Thanks again for the easy and flawless transition to a new kitchen which any remodel can be stressful but this was a breeze and the complete remodel a success!”

“Michael did an AMAZING job for us. One of the firms that we interviewed was an architect from the firm that designed the original job. He withdrew saying "your home is what it is, there's nothing that can be done to change it." Dakota Dawn gave us a whole new look with relatively minor exterior work. What they accomplished on the inside was remarkable. We would recommend them without reservation!”

“Kenny and his team are not only very experienced builders, they are stewards of the environment. His team is perfect for any home owner looking for affordable, eco-friendly renovations. What I appreciate most about Kenny and his team is that they spend time educating their clients so that they can make informed decisions. Buckminster Green is not your average construction service. They are thoughtful, creative and most importantly, fun to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to renovate, or add to their home in a earth friendly way.”

“Top notch Professionals! It was great working with them on my house renovation. All employees were very professional, knowledgeable, hardworking and reliable. They all did an excellent job and the work was done in a timely and professional manner at reasonable cost . Highly recommend this company!”

“Lino and his team are always a pleasure to work with. They are dependable and courteous, answering any concerns or ideas which came up.”

We would definitely recommend Santech to our friends and will be working with them again in the future.”

“UPDATE: I heard back from the installers and they were able to address and resolve almost all of the issues I listed below. I appreciate the effort they made. I really like my new kitchen now that all of the issues are resolved. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This review is for people choosing an installer for an IKEA kitchen. We decided not to do it ourselves and instead hire the installer that works with IKEA. In this case we got Doylestown Building and Remodeling Company. Initially I was very happy with their work and their main installer seems like an honest straightforward worker. There were a few problems, however. First, the installer, although experienced with other forms of remodeling and building, had very little IKEA installation experience. He frequently was not sure how something was supposed to be installed. This would have worried me less had I not noticed that he did not always read the IKEA manuals that came with the items to install. We were only his 3rd IKEA kitchen that he installed, even though there were other installers in the company who had plenty of experience. Then, due to issues with another worker, the installer did nearly all of the work alone, without help. Although many parts of the kitchen can be done with one person, some tasks really are two person jobs. In fact, three times I was forced to stop what I was doing (I work from home) to help him move an appliance or help with something that required more than one person, because he was on his own. One time after this happened I said, "Next time you should have someone come with you, because this is a two person job." Sure enough, the next time he showed up alone and I had to help him again. When the kitchen was finally finished, on the whole at first I was pretty happy with it. But after I while I noticed some problems that really should have been taken care of, and that I will either have to live with or find a more capable company perform. 1. A shim was left hanging out around 4 inches below a cabinet. This will have to be trimmed. It seems to me extremely unprofessional to leave something like this when finishing a job, but NOT SURPRISING since the business owner rushed the work through and the main installer was working on his own. 2. Because of the rush, absolutely no cleanup was done after the fact. I had to dispose of a large bag of construction waste, there was sawdust all over the kitchen floor, and found sawdust in most of the drawers and cabinets that was never removed. Oh and there was never any effort during the install to tidy up after either. They installers got sawdust all over the floor & some of our belongs in the adjoining room. 3. The toekick installation is really messy, it just looks amateurish. Any homeowner with a table saw could have made a toekick that looked as good or better than what they did. There are very visible gaps where the pieces meet. 4. Two drawers were chipped/scratched during install. Not large chips or scratches, but still *not* acceptable for the install of a *brand new* kitchen. 5. MOST DISTURBING OF ALL: we planned the kitchen with an IKEA associate, who specified all of the pieces that would be required for the install. One major piece, a large cover panel to be used for support of the kitchen counter, was never used. When I asked the installers for clarification on why this piece was left over, I received no reply. As far as I know, the kitchen counter *appears* stable but could just as easily fall apart. Based on how it's installed, it isn't possible to look behind the part that was installed to see how sturdy it actually is. Based on these issues, I sent an email to the project manager. After not receiving any reply for two days, I sent a followup email. After *another* 2 days the manager's boss sent me a noncommittal apology along with an offer to "refund" $35 as a "gesture" to cover "some of your costs of cleaning, etc.". No mention was made whatsoever of my other, more pressing concerns. In response I sent another reply, again outlining the complaints I had with the install, complaints more serious than having to clean up. Honestly I think the inability to clean up after the install is a bad sign; it shows a lack of pride over workmanship and is almost like leaving a project uncompleted. OH, and let's not mention that for some reason, even though we pretty meticulously planned all of the components we would need for the kitchen (and cross-checked inventory on delivery), we still ended up not having all of the right hardware installed where it needed to be, and the installer lost a necessary piece of hardware for one of the drawers that we will need to go to IKEA and replace ourselves. Honestly, if they had just put the smallest effort in addressing my real complaints instead of offering me a token gesture of $35, I probably would not be leaving this negative review. But it's been over a week with no response, and I would rather people be aware of these issues. Was this review …?”

“They did an outstanding job! Enlarged master bathroom making it double sink. Very easy to work with. Loved them so much that they’re now redoing our master bedroom closets, pulled up carpet and stained hardwood. Always on time. Need I say more?”

“We have collaborated with Baxter Construction on many renovation and new construction projects for over the last seven years. It has always been a very positive experience. They focus on listening to the customer and finding creative solutions to solve problems. We have tremendous amount of respect for Jim Baxter and his team and know the client will always receive fine craftsmanship and quality work.”

“Allan did an amazing job with our kitchen remodeling, which included demolition, addition of a large room, changing roof lines and some major internal changes in other areas. He would personally be on the job 6 days a week, and this entire effort (from demolition to a shell being ready) was completed in less than 10 weeks. In the meantime, he had built a temporary kitchen in our basement, and sealed off the area to prevent dust pollution. Cannot recommend Allan highly enough -- his costs were very reasonable (I shopped around), his workmanship is excellent, his team is very professional, highly ethical (no hidden charges or surprises) -- I've recommended Allan to many friends, and would not hesitate to hire him again.”
