Thomas E Grimm and Sons

Tom did an excellent, superb, expert job! No mess. Very clean. Professional. Will be hiring again.

Tom went above and beyond my expectations. He worked with me to create a shower within budget that met the constraints of having an existing drain and plumbing. The whole job only took four days as promised. As a nice touch, he provided a similar shower head to the one I had before and even provided a shower curtain. I would highly recommend for your next job.

Wonderful experience! Tom and crew are professional and courteous, and a pleasure to work with.I am getting rave reviews from everyone who sees the kitchen. Achieved much more floor, counter and cabinet space. Allowed for bringing almost all food storage up to kitchen and pantry level, which was a major goal as I am partially disabled. Fair pricing, excellent workmanship, honest estimate of time scheduling. Made suggestions and recommendations to save cost. Did not try to oversell us. Once work started they worked a full day almost every day, and progress was made. If we were waiting for delivery of appliances, granite, etc., they moved on to other areas to keep steady pace. Cleanup every day at end of work day is the best I have ever experienced in my 33+ yrs. of being a homeowner. Sub contractors were equally as courteous and diligent as the general contractor. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with my new kitchen! I am already making plans to have other rooms painted this winter.

Tom and a friend worked for two days and completed the work we asked him to do. He was professional and is a good carpenter.

Before work began, Mr. Grimm explained all the stages of the project, namely the demolition, restoration and finishing. Each process was explained in simple terms. All of our questions were answered. When work began, Mr. Grimm and members of his crew, arrived on time everyday and worked throughout the day. After work, the clean up was efficient, allowing us to move around the work area with ease. With Mr. Grimm's advice, guidance and resources, we created a beautifully, renovated kitchen. We strongly recommend him for contracting services.

Work done with excellent quality. Work done in timely fashion and within budget. Clean-up was complete. Mr. Grimm was in frequent contact with us and made adjustments as necessary.

Tom went above and beyond to take care of everything as if he were installing his own kitchen. I had cabinets shipped from Home Depot and two of them came broken, so he drove them back and had them swapped out for good ones. He brought on his team to paint, handle plumbing and electrical work. They were all very professional and competent. He even installed a smoke detector because he noticed there wasn't one in the room. When the job was done, the new kitchen looked amazing. His pricing was fair and he tried to save me money where he could, which I appreciated. Overall, a great experience, and I will definitely use him again in the future.

Tom and his team were punctual, very professional, worked fast, and worked very clean. My home was completely respected and measures were taken to prevent dust/debris from getting to any other area of the home. Tom is very easy to talk to and work with. He is very accommodating. He did everything he said he was going to do, with no issues at all. His rate was very competitive. I will use Tom in the future for any jobs.

Tom was professional from the beginning. When we first mentioned we wanted to have our kitchen, which was the original kitchen in our house built in the mid 80s, remodeled, he sat down with us and helped us determine exactly what we wanted. He steered us away from quick fixes like cabinet refacing and instead helped us plan a kitchen that would be modern, up-to-date, and within our price range. When it was time to do the work, Tom and his entire team were punctual and efficient. In a little over 2 weeks, almost everything in the kitchen was replaced: Cabinets, dishwasher, countertops, sink, faucets, lighting, microwave, paint. Tom and his team even took care to make sure our three cats were safe and were disturbed as little as possible. I couldn't be any happy with the way the kitchen turned out. I would recommend Thomas Grimm and Sons to anyone needing home remodeling or repair work.

I can’t begin to tell you how fantastic Tom Grimm and his team is. First of all, he does all of the work himself along a team he's work with for decades. Mario, his partner in crime is extremely detailed and an efficient worker. Tom's subs are great as well. From Joe @ Precision Electric in Norwalk (who also rewired my mud room after finding some scary wiring) to the plumber to his granite guy and cabinet supplier. ALL GOOD. The team only works one job at a time. They come over around 8-830 and stay all day. That means they are focused and always turn up when you expect them to. Tom is very patient and will explain everything that is being done. He is honest and does everything he can to make the project be successful without over promising. He also works well with the other trades and follows up with folks without my involvement (ex. Town for permits, utility for propane hookup, cabinet supplier with delivery). I was really impressed with the level of which he takes ownership of the project He is meticulous in his work. The tolerances in the cabinet work and how they meet the appliances are super tight. Makes the whole kitchen sing of quality. Our kitchen was dark, drabby and was in dire need of a complete remodel. We ended up with something more than a kitchen, it’s more of a focal point of the house and has dramatically changed its usefulness. If you are considering any major project and need a capable, knowledgeable, fairly priced and honest contractor, you must put Tom on your list of people to interview. I will be using Tom and his team for future project.

Tom and his associates are true professionals. We had a tight timeline and they were more than happy to help meet our deadline. Their work was well executed, they showed up on time each day, and their cost was very competitive. We would recommend them to any of our friends and family and would be more than happy to have them perform future work on our home.

Mr. Grimm called several days after I left a message about my project. When I described my project, he informed me (1/30/13) that he would not be able to start the project until April. We agreed this would be fine, since there was much shopping for materials to be done, and he agreed to visit the house to provide an estimate. We talked about him coming on the following weekend; but then he asked if I would be available on Friday - 2 days later. I told I would arrange to be home if he would tell me what time he would arrive. Mr. Grimm said he would call the next evening (Thursday) to tell me what time he would be there on Friday. I avoided making any commitments on Friday so that I could be available when he came to the house. HOwever, never heard from Mr. Grimm again. He never called to say he wouldn't be able to come on the appointed day, nor did he call to re-schedule. It pains me to write this, as from the reviews others seem to have had a very positive experience. HOwever, I joined Angie's list to get the beneift of others' experiences - and that was mine. Unfortunate and inconsiderate.

.Thom doesn't take short cuts on the job and if something is going to cost more than what was quoted you know why and how much. Alternatively, Thom looks for ways to save money if possible to pass along to the customer. He is a contractor who really puts his customer's interest first. He is easy to talk to and willing to listen and answer any question. When you are spending money it is nice to be able to ask why, what and how questions for someone like me who knows nothing about Thom's business.

This company was not as responsive or professional as I would have expected.

The contract process was simple. He accepted all changes recommended by my attorney. All work was done to our complete satisfaction. The work was on budget and completed in a timely manner. His employees were prompt, punctual and practiced excellent workmanship. Mr. Grimm was always available for advice and for any changes. Cleanup always went well. Mr. Grimm is courteous, honest and hard-working. We are planning to use his services in the future and recommend him highly.

It went fine; he was great. I absolutely would use him again.

I was incredibly impressed by the attention to detail he had as well as the care he took towards doing a quality job. He was very open to discussing the best options for my project and helping me decide when and when not to spring for the nicer materials, more expensive techniques, etc. He brought in subs for plumbing, electrical and drywall and did everything else himself with his helpers. All of the subs had great relationships with Tom and were also very easy to work with. I strongly recommend Tom and would use him again in a heartbeat.

We were satisfied and they did a considerable amount of work for us. They didn't want me to tell anyone about the price, but, we got a good deal. It's a moderate 5 figures. I used to work for a bank and we used to do credit reports. A moderate price could be anything from $25,000 to $65,000. We got another quote and it was 2-3 times as much. They're contractors. I give them high ratings and would use them again in the future.

Based on other positive AngieList reports we asked Tom to quote on turning our tired old bathroom into a new one. He replaced the vanity and shower, all the lighting, added beadboard and refinished/repainted all the walls and ceiling. Everything about this job was positive. He knows, his business, is punctual, professional, invested in doing a great job, had good ideas we hadn't thought of, provided a firm estimate and stuck to it, He and his team were tidy and cleaned up completely at the end of each day. We made some changes after seeing that our original ideas weren't so good. . . no problem, Tom made them happily. He is also a good communicator on the phone and in person. We give him top marks in all categories and will be using him again in the future.

Took two calls to get him here, though he came quickly after the second call. As mentioned above, he wasn't able to help me with the job I had, but he was friendly and offered his advice about it, for what that's worth.

This project was a complete success. Especially since we were not present during the work. We completely trust Tom and his subs. when we returned the bathroom was completely finished, exactly how we envisiged it.

. There was nothing that I did not like. He was very good. I have recommended him privately. I had a tiny little bathroom; it was a difficult job to upgrade it. The floor was not even and the previous work was not done in a real good way. Probably it would have been easier to sweep it out and then restore it. He had to work around things that we were not taking out. He did a good job. He was responsive because I have had really crappy people earlier. He was within what he had estimated. He was recommended by my plumber. He is a local plumber who is very well known in this area. I had recommendations from professionals for him. . I was not just shopping around. He is very upfront. He was willing to work with me as far as me getting my own tile, me getting my own closet, my things. I had picked up a sink and stopped to see what it looked like. He worked with me. He was very forthright. He was honest. I would use him in the future.

My experience so far has been very good. He is very responsive. He seems like he is a straight honest person.

The guy came out to look at the work and said that we really didn't want to hire them because he didn't have any means of being able to blow insulation in. He said he couldn't do the job and he recommend that I get somebody else. He didn't have anybody that he could recommend. He was very pleasant. He came 3 or 4 days after I contacted him. I would give him a thumbs up for professional courtesy.

We did not choose them but they seemed very nice and professional. They were great and came right away. We ended up going with someone who does high end work and works with a designer that was recommended by a friend.
