Rob and his team did an excellent job refurbishing the wood deck on the back of our home. His team spent the time and energy to make sure all details were taken care of and the finished product really beat my expectations. High quality carpentry work and customer service. Strongly recommend. Thank you!

Better Home Improvements (Rob O'Keefe and team) was initially contracted to repair a slate roof but soon after I engaged them to repair 2 bathroom plumbing leaks and patch and paint damaged ceilings. All work was completed professionally and in a timely manner. Rob is knowledgable, honest, reliable and a pleasure to work with. He even undertook certain bonus projects free of charge. I will definitely engage Better Home Improvements for future projects.

We hired Rob Oâ Keefe and his team for a second major project this summer. The project included the following: a) power washing all shingles down to their original colors b) washing all windows and screens c) replacing all missing and damaged shingles d) sealing, painting and staining the whole exterior of the house including trims and 3 garage doors. e) masonry repairs on large flagstone patio and stairs. Focused on correcting its pitch and installing new drains f) repairing decorative and retaining walls that had loose rocks and stones Our experience with Rob has been consistently outstanding. He supported the projects with daily job site visits and communicated regularly with us. He would text daily while we were traveling with progress reports and suggestions. His onsite crew varied from 2 to a dozen depending on the stage of the project. They were all punctual and highly professional. Despite major wind damage during a freak storm that paralyzed our community for almost a week with limited power and road access, Rob and his team were able to resume work promptly and maintain the project essentially on time and on budget. We strongly recommend Rob and his team for similar type projects. Rob is resident of Fairfield County, with an established track record and familiarity with state and county regulations. His local knowledge was a great plus.

Better Homes services are value for money. Rob and his team went out of the way in fixing the play area set. Along with that there were several small jobs in our home that he helped us with. He even fixed a faucet for free for us which otherwise would have costed us couple of hundreds of dollars. I would highly recommend Better Homes Improvements.

We enjoyed working with Rob Oâ Keefe and his team. He is always cheerful, actively supervising his worksites and absolutely committed to earning his clientsâ best rating. Rob is a good communicator and proud craftsman. Always happy to go explain and over every step of his work. Unlike many in his profession, Rob offers an explicit & transferable guarantee of his workmanship to homeowners (or their successors). With 15 years of local experience, Rob is highly rated both regionally and nationwide. His fully insured crew is very courteous and very careful to minimize disruption during and around the construction site. Our project started with repairs to weather damaged handrails, the power washing of our entire roof, and repairs of two flagstone walkways and a retaining wall. After the discovery or waters damage on our roof, we asked Robert to proceed with the partial replacement of an asphalt shingle roof and the recapping of a chimney. Final town inspection was a breeze. I strongly endorse Rob Oâ Keefeâ s Better Home Improvements.

Rob and his team recently completed a project at my house, and it was really a five star experience from the beginning. He was transparent re pricing, honored his commitments re timing and quality, and even took steps along the way to enhance the value of the project by offering ways to improve the design (in many ways at his cost). Just a great old school approach to business. I would hire them again.

Rob is a personable, honest, and sincere person. That is singularly important since homeowners tend not to be experts and must rely on the contractor to do what is best for the house, whether it is the quality of the materials used or the nature of the work that needs to be done. I have told Rob I am happy to speak with any of his prospective customers.

Rob replaced over a dozen loose/rotting wood posts and installed a cedar fence around the perimeter of our beach house. He also custom made and painted a wood balcony on our third floor deck. Conclusion: Great quality, fairly priced and on time delivery. Would highly recommend.

Rob did an amazing job fixing the cracks in the foundation wall and floor. He opened up the cracks to have a clean access and injected the epoxy material to fix the crack. It took him 3-4 days to get all the 5 cracks filled and clean up. I would hire Rob again for other jobs that requires major fixing within the house. Just a heads up (and this is no fault of Rob), but be prepared to have tons of dust fly around since the concrete foundation has to be shaved open to apply the epoxy. Cover up all open areas air tight if you can, especially around the heating / air conditioning unit. I'm sure there are better ways to cover things up then what we did.

LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Better Home Improvements is where you want to go for any projects, large or small for your home. I was very pleased with theur service. I had a small project that required the removal and install of 2 interior doors, plus the reinstall of another. Rob responded to my inquiry right away. He arrived early to the appointment and provided me with what I discovered later after talking to a couple of people, a great price. What stood out working with Rob is the excellent customer service he provided. I work in a client-service environment in the financial industry and customer service is very important to me. He thoroughly explained the work required and provided me with a timeline for completion. This was not my primary residence, and I could not be on site while Rob was going to perform the work. Therefore, I left my keys for him to come and go as he pleased. He provided me with an update every day he worked on the doors and even provided pictures for me of his progress. The end result was fabulous. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him on future projects. Thanks again Rob!

Mr. O'Keeffe was hired to do multiple projects in our condo, which we reviewed with him on Day 1, he presented an offer for his work, we accepted, and he started the next day. He did thorough and detailed work making sure we were in agreement with all activity during the process. Great communication as everything could not be completed in a few days. We are so happy with new garage shelving, with repair of holes in garage walls, shelving in kitchen cabinet under cooktop, and with mounting of mirrors and paintings in addition to other smaller caulking jobs. Rob is a perfectionist and took the time to do everything right. Would highly recommend him to others and will be using his services for future projects.

Rob was the first one to respond out of five offers. He was the last one that had to because I knew I had the right person for the job. The job was started earlier than anticipated he took photos of his progress and forwarded them to me and the job was completed way ahead of schedule. The work is very professional and he is really easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional job done.
