Looking for Contractor for Condo Renovation

Submitted by pizzainquiry t3_115w1h8 in StamfordCT

Does anyone have a reputable/licensed contractor they've personally used for any bathroom/kitchen renovations? I've found just trying to search on my own leads to too many results and possible just scams. I get Instagram ads all the time for "1 day bathroom companies" that seem so gimmicky and I know that some of the best people only work by word of mouth and barely have a presence on the internet!

(honestly same goes for plumbers, electricians, handyman, etc - if you have a local person/business you'd recommend for anything let me know - i can see why people move back to their hometowns and adopt an existing network of people to work with)

Maybe I'm not using it right but it seems to just match me with 2-3 random contractors. I was hoping to hear from someone who had personal experience of a person/company they'd recommend . Even with long lists of online reviews I'd always prefer a personal recommendation since you never know if bad reviews were removed or good reviews compare a similar project/etc

My old landlord runs this business: https://www.instagram.com/ji.construction/. I think it's just him and his son. His name is Arthur. I'd check it out and see how you feel.

I haven't used him personally but that's because when I was renting from him he was our point of contact for absolutely everything with the exception of signing the lease which was handled by his wife. She upped our rent by 15% and made some ludicrous demands before we moved out so we kinda exited on bad terms. I wouldn't blame any of that on Arthur though. He was always very reasonable and considerate. He kinda rambles but he was always very straight with me. Has a lot of pride in his work too. Always gets back to you within a day or so. If not, he'll tell you why and give you a more realistic update.
