My Company does home improvement. This is my 35th year in business, I am a true professional. I never cut corners, always thinking about the customer’s needs.

I do have sub-contractors from time to time, all with many years of experience, all insured. When a contract is signed I have three payments (State of Connecticut recommends) 1st payment when contract is signed, 2nd payment half way thru job, 3rd payment when job is completed.

Description of Work: After a need an initial response to my contact requesting a time for him to come over to estimate the total cost of the work since I expected it might exceed the hours I had bought. I said that I had a week vacation and that it would've nice if he could fit neon then ( it was about 2weeks from the time I contacted him.). Unfortunately this contractor never got back to me - even to say he was too busy to accommodate me. Eventually I rescinded the contract. Note: he didn't even contact me then!

Kurt is an excellent carpenter who used high quality materials. There were a few other problems that he brought to my attention and asked me if I would like him to fix them. I was happy he saw these problems and was willing to fix them for me. He is a true professional who takes pride in the work he does. I would hire Kurt again for any carpentry job I have in the future and would recommend him highly.
Description of Work: My deck had a number of rotted boards and loose railings. There were also issues with the framing of my garage doors. He replaced all the problem boards and secured the railings of the deck.

Kurt was easy to contact, worked quickly and cleanly, and completed the job within a couple of weeks of us first contacting him. We thought so highly of the work he did on the outside of the house that we hired him for a small additional project on the inside. We will definitely keep him in mind for future projects.

Everything was great. Kurt came when he said he would and kept at it until he was done. Communication was very good and his pricing was reasonable. He always let me know what he was doing and presented options clearly. I really couldn't ask for more.

From the first encounter to the last, totally professional, conscientious and capable. The job took approximately 2 days. Obviously he has a lot of experience with this type of damage; he assessed the extent of the problem and explained that we were looking at more that the $250 I had paid on Angie's List. I fully expected this, and was not surprised to hear that it would cost approximately $1100, the damage was bad. (unfortunately I did not take pictures, I believe Kurt has them though, the bees had been burrowing for well over 10 years.) I own several properties and have had extensive dealings with construction professionals across a wide spectrum of skills on new and not so new buildings. Sadly I am well acquainted with rot and insect issues. I have learned the hard way that restoration work is a special skill beyond the reach of many carpenters--Kurt's work is first rate. The quality of the job accompanied by professionalism and a commitment to stay with the job until it is done make him by far the best contractor I have hired. I was nervous about hiring someone for so small a job, so was pleasantly surprised by how quickly he got to it. I would absolutely hire him again!
Description of Work: Restored badly damaged trim and timbers surrounding our garage door. Bees had eaten into the wood under a loose trim board on the front of our 1929 garage. When we tore off the trim ourselves we thought that the destruction was to bad that we would have to tear the garage down. Kurt saved the day!

Kurt did a great job with the repairs and replacements. He was very professional in terms of communication and returning calls and was able to fit in my job sooner than expected which was great because of the issues involved. He was neat , knowledgeable and worked quickly and efficiently. I would recommend him and would use him again if the occasion arises.

The owner, Kurt Bucholz showed up exactly on time to perform the work. He did an excellent job of installing the gutter, downspout, and a small diversion plate to capture the water in the corner. He custom cut the pieces to fit perfectly in the space. He completed the job in just 1.25 hours and I am completely satisfied with his work. He cleaned up after the job and left the area spotless. He is highly professional, very competent, and extremely reasonable in his prices.

Kurt takes his work very seriously and wants to complete the job to both his and your standards. His communication is very good as he kept us informed of all services and if additional situations arose, he explained everything very clearly. He was reliable and completed the job within the time-frame he initially gave us. We had several companies at the house before we went with Buckland Home Contractors and feel confident we made the right decision. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: Kurt replaced fascia and rake boards all around the house. He also re-hung the gutters so they function properly.

Kurt was very professional and made sure I understood all aspects of the job. He made sure I was educated in the variety of products that I could choose from and steered me in the direction of the best quality product in my price range. Kurt provided me a detailed estimate along with a reasonable time frame for completion of the job that worked with my needs. He informed me of any needed changes so that there were no surprises. He was careful to cover wood floors inside the house while he ripped out the old windows. He began the job when he said he would and completed it on time, making sure that the area was cleaned and free from debris each night. Due to improper installation of additional newer windows in my home, we discovered window sill rot where moisture was getting in. Kurt removed those windows, rebuilt frames, reinsulated and reinstalled windows. Kurt was extremely courteous and fair, as well as a talented craftsman who I would highly recommend.
Description of Work: Kurt replaced 3 oversized and one double hung window in my house. He provided new vinyl low-e argon filled insulated replacement windows by Harvey's. He removed exterior siding around windows, re-framed openings, installed windows, insulation & foam. He weather sealed/flashed exterior portion of windows. He was careful to remove and then reinstall the existing aluminum siding and newly fabricated exterior aluminum trim in such a way that it looked better after the reinstallation. Finally, he also supplied and installed new interior trim.

Kurt was extremely professional throughout every stage of the estimate, proposal and completion of the attic storage addition. He listened to what I needed, offered helpful suggestions, and provided me with a detailed estimate in a timely fashion. Once he began he kept me updated on progress and was finished by our agreed upon completion date. He made sure that our living space was clean and free of debris/tools every night. I now have a beautiful 10 x 12 attic storage area with pull-down stairs for convenient access.
Description of Work: Kurt Bucholz built and installed a new attic platform for storage.The frame was all screwed together, this way it could always be taken apart if need be.. He took special care to ensure venting and electrical wires coming thru floor were accessible.New fiberglass batt insulation was added. In addition, he installed a pull-down stair for safer and easier access.

I live in DC and the house was an investment property in Bristol, CT. I was able to explain the situation to Kurt over the phone, he was knowledgeable friendly and understood what I needed done, since I was out of town. He surveyed the property, came up with a plan, told me his plan, and executed it. I was happy with the timeliness, price and his willingness to work with me over the phone. Looking forward to meeting him in person the next time.

Response from Buckland Home Contractor
when I went to his home to look at the siding there was still snow on the roof where I had to put up staging planks..I recommended waiting a few days because of warmer weather...when I started the job getting up close I knew why the siding panel came off..the connecting panels were not in line with each other(poor installation) I removed extra panels leveled them then reinstalled damaged panels, then they all locked in. taking extra time and labor paid off..It was a pleasure doing business with Edward
