Review by Jun B. in Avon, CT
Project: Install or Completely Replace Wood Flooring
Chris Alvey (StrawBuilder) has demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship for my painting/flooring/kitchen remodeling work. He introduces a good kitchen cabinet wholesaler and an electrician to complete the kitchen work. He is very detail oriented and welcomes discussion with me to reflect customer's requests to the works. He always answers my phone calls or calsl me back within a couple of hours. You will be happy to have him for your home projects.

Review by Connie F. in New Hartford, CT
Project: Repair Wood or Stone Laminate Flooring
We are currently in a holding pattern as far as completing our transaction with StrawBuilder, LLC but only due to personal circumstances. I can say that StrawBuilder LLC was extremely quick in setting up an appointment which was kept and began promptly. Mr. Alvey is very professional in the manner in which he conducts business and I have a very good feeing that if we are able to continue this transaction, my flooring will be installed with excellent workmanship.

Review by Ron K. in Harwinton, CT
Project: Build or Install a Gazebo or Freestanding Porch
Work was done ahead of the anticipated schedule. Quality of work was beyond what was expected. Very satisfied with the job. They moved a gazebo for us by taking it apart and rebuilding it in another location. Good prefessional attitude. They seem to actually enjoy their work !

Review by a customer in Simsbury, CT
Project: Build or Replace a Deck or Non-Masonry Porch
CHRIS and workers were very polite and very very neat.I felt him to be honest and diligent in letting me know if he found anything out of the ordinary that needed attention prior to his continuing the project. When i first met Chris i was not quite sure what I needed or wanted to do;he gave me some options and priced each option.This helped me quite a bit. He started the project on time and finished on time.Very very reliable.Very professional. I would highley recommend him to a friend and call him for my next project My new deck looks great

Review by Patricia L. in West Hartford, CT
Project: Remodel a Basement
Outstanding workers. Arrived on time each day and worked a nine hour day. The quality of their work and the craftsmanship were outstanding. Clean and neat workers. Took away all materials and left my basement rooms and yard (where they set up their machines and work space) free of any debris. I would not hestitate to hire them for additional projects and renovations in the future. They are indeed a five star operation.
