Gove Restoration LLC

Give Restoration did an absolutely fantastic job adding a much needed mudroom to our home. It is beautiful. From the design phase through construction and completion, Adam and his team were top notch professionals that do great work with great communication along the way. They also managed all the necessary permitting for the project including with the historic district. Overall terrific job, we'd recommend Gove for any home improvement project!

I recently had my kitchen renovated by Adam from Gove Restoration, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The quality of the work was exceptional, with meticulous attention to detail and a thorough approach that ensured nothing was missed or overlooked. Adam consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with every aspect of the renovation. Communication was constant and clear. Adam provided a daily calendar before the work began, outlining what would be worked on each day, and he stayed on schedule remarkably well. He was always available to address any questions or concerns and was extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. We encountered some challenges with matching the crown molding to the cabinets due to manufacturing processes. Adam diligently worked with the cabinet makers and painters to achieve a perfect match, demonstrating his commitment to excellence. Throughout the three-month renovation, everyone involved was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. The workspace was always kept safe and clean. What sets Adam apart is his level of communication and attention to detail. From the initial quote to the final touches, everything was thorough and detailed. I highly recommend Gove Restoration if you're looking for a contractor who will take every measure to ensure you're extremely pleased with the work.

Great communication. Work performed looks great. Very thorough and clean.

I highly recommend Gove Restoration. We had our kitchen remodeled and it turned out even better than we’d hoped! Adam was wonderful to work with -professional, prompt, amazing attention to detail and all-around great guy! Our daughter and son-in-law also had their kitchen remodeled by Gove, and they had amazing results as well. We have heard so many horror stories from friends and families who’ve worked with contractors who did shoddy work or abandoned the project for weeks (even months) at a time. Gove Restoration and their team were always on schedule, courteous and meticulous. Adam kept us in the loop the entire project - even telling us which days may be noisy (my husband works from home) and which days we should have our dog out of the house!! I whole-heartedly give Gove Restoration a 5 star rating!!!

My bathroom remodel came out great!! Adam was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He kept me informed of what to expect throughout the entire process.

Everything turned out great and on time. Besides the high quality workmanship they cleaned up after themselves everyday they worked on our project. I would recommend them to family and friends.

Gove Restoration completed a few very different projects at my mother’s house in Newington. First, they replaced 40 year old back steps and did a full exterior paint job of shingles and shudders on the house and other buildings in the backyard. Inside the house, they updated her 60 year old bathroom including replacing the bathtub with a walk in shower safe for use of an 80 year old. My mother and the rest of the family are so happy with the results which shows the breadth of work that they can do. Matt Gove made the process so easy everyone by carefully outlining the intended scope of work, regularly updating us on progress, and following through on all commitments. All of the members of Matt’s team who worked on the various projects at my mother’s house treated her with kindness and consideration such that she never felt uncomfortable with anyone who came to the house. This was a huge relief for me since I live out of state and knew that she would be home alone during the work. I couldn’t recommend Gove Restoration more for any kind of contracting work!

Everything went great. Good teamwork and communication made all the difference. When the old siding was removed there was more rot found than what was anticipated but all of it was addressed with modern materials and processes leading to repairs that were better than the original.

Gove Restoration recently completed a number of projects for us—painting the exterior of our 1920s-era house, replacing the garage roof, installing new gutters, carpentry to replace rotted trim, rotted shingles, and rotted shutters—and we couldn’t be happier. They were professional from start to finish, straightforward about issues as they arose, and conveyed a genuine appreciation for preserving the look of an older home. The work ethic of everyone, but especially the painters, was truly impressive, as was the attention to detail. We have received many compliments on their work from neighbors and passersby!

The experience was excellent and the resulting deck is a masterpiece. The Gove Restoration was open and up-front about what we would be experiencing, especially when the original scope of the project had to change due to the instability of the wooden joists to support the composite decking. The workmen were professional and agreeable to slight changes to recently completed sections. They were respective as possible of existing landscaping and removed all debris as they finished each portion.The experience was excellent and the resulting deck is a masterpiece.

We can not say enough positive things about Matt and Adam of Gove Restoration. We hired them to do a kitchen renovation and we couldn't be happier. They are excellent with communication prior to beginning your project and then almost on a daily basis during the project. They are focused only on your project which means there are no delays because they are jumping around. Their team members are amazing craftsman, especially Warren, who works with such expertise and attention to detail. They are respectful of your home when they are in it and they leave things nice and tidy at the end of the work day. But the icing on the cake is your finished project! Our kitchen is so beautiful! They really did an amazing job bringing life to our vision in this space!

Adam from Gove Restoration was an excellent contractor. He was incredibly responsive, and met every single deadline he had set at the beginning of the project with a high quality of work. Any issue that came up during the process he was reasonable about with minimal cost overrun. His level of communication was amazing, and he was always there for us when we needed a response. Every partner of Gove's that worked on our house was respectful and reliable. We are so happy with the entire remodel of our first floor, and thanks to help from Adam's designs it looks like it was always intended to be built and designed the way it is now. I would highly recommend Gove to all of my family and friends.

Excellent. Matt Gove is professional, responsive and willing to go extra for us on the work and in dealing with the town and our historic district.

Exceptional work. Excellent guidance and communication throughout project, professional workmanship and quality products. Definitely recommend.

We worked with Adam for our window replacement project and replaced 20 windows. He was professional, easy to communicate with, detail oriented and set clear expectations for timelines. He also helped us navigate a large project that required historic commission approval, which was incredibly helpful. They are experts at what they do, and deliver a beautiful result! We will definitely work with Gove Restoration again.

We used Gove Restoration to remodel our 1910 Kitchen and downstairs bathroom and couldn't be more pleased with the results of the project and the way Gove performed, from start to finish. Matt Gove handled every detail of the job, and assisted making the plan and executing it. All of the work was performed on schedule, as promised, and with the highest craftsmanship. Village Cabinets were the showstopper and Gove coordinated all the details for the cabinets, installed hardwood flooring, lighting, and a redesign of our former pantry into a new and beautiful space. The workspace was kept clean and organized during the whole period. Gove moved the existing appliances and kept them ready to reinstall. Matt was a hands-on GC, checking on work, keep us up to date on the schedule and any changes, and really proved that he cared about this big investment for us. Gove proved their expertise in older homes and their unique situations, and handled any unexpected condition perfectly. Every single one of the contractors that came into our home was respectful, professional and did great work. We'd highly recommend Gove Restoration and would use them again!

This was the second project that Gove has done for us. Both jobs were done with great craftsmanship and a high level of responsiveness and professionalism. We are extremely pleased with the results, and we are happy to have discovered Gove and to have worked with such an excellent team. Photo shows work done and ready for paint, which we chose to hire separately.

We knew our kitchen remodel would be a challenging project and that we would not be able to buy anything "off the shelf." Our kitchen space is a cabin from the 1930s with a short ceiling, and exposed brick walls and wooden beams. Nothing is level or square. Gove Restoration and team were able to design and customize not only a functional kitchen with an updated layout, but also one that fits the style of the home. It is truly enjoyable to be in our kitchen now. We highly recommend Gove Restoration for their professionalism, punctuality, and quality.

We've hired Gove Restoration for several smaller projects over the past few years <$10,000. This was our first major renovation with them, where we had 2 bathrooms completely remodeled from the studs. Through the process Matt and his team were extremely easy to work with, discussing design ideas, budget, and style. Gove Restoration helped us to work out weighs to adjust the overall cost by letting us demo the bathrooms and paint as well. The overall quote was very transparent and each cost/line item was very clear and what we could expect. We worked with their supply partners as well for granite, cabinets, tile, and doors/windows. All these suppliers were great to work with. During the process we hit a few snags such as product availability, and COVID issues. Matt and team were very flexible and worked hard to find replacement products of the same quality in order to not delay the project. When the project was all over we walked away with 2 newly renovated bathrooms that we love, and the feeling of money well spent. We no longer have to worry about plumbing issues, flooring or any old home problems. We highly recommend Gove Restoration for any and all projects.

We reached out to Matt and Gove Restoration to get a quote for replacing the roof of our historic home in Old Wethersfield. As many local residents know, homes located in the historic district are subject to specific guidelines when altering the outside appearance of their homes. Thankfully, Gove Restoration was well versed in the requirements and quickly provided us with a sampling of previously approved architectural shingles as well as ensured all required approvals were secured prior to the start of the job. Through out the process, we found Matt to be extremely professional, thoughtful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to do home repairs or restoration work.

Working with Gove Restoration was the best decision we could have made. From start to finish, estimate to final paint job, and everything in between, we were continually impressed. Each step of our project was thoroughly explained, advice was offered with both cost and final product in mind, and questions/concerns were answered in a timely fashion. The work itself is flawless. The entire crew are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Never was our house left at the end of the day with a speck of dust or a splatter of paint. In fact, Adam would come at the end of each day to check the work and sometimes run the vacuum over an already spotless room. He would often find little tweaks for the crew to work on the next day, often things we didn’t even notice. We whole heartedly recommend Gove Restoration and will absolutely have them back for future projects.

This was not an easy job and Matt and his team did a great job. Matt explained all the anticipated issues, kept to his word and estimate, and even came back immediately to fix a few small issues. I highly recommend Gove Restoration for renovations in your home.

Matt and team did a fantastic job! Every aspect of the job - responsiveness, punctuality, clean work (hung plastic for dust), and top quality work. Matt provided a schedule for each day of the job and actually finished ahead of schedule. The guys showed up every day on time and worked all day. I am exceptionally detail-oriented and so is Matt - all the details were handled perfectly. Matt worked with my electrician and handled all the HVAC work with his contractors. Worked perfectly! I would highly recommend Gove Restoration for any job they quote.

This was our first experience with the guys at Gove Restoration, and we could not have been more pleased. During the planning phase of our project, Matt took the time to listen to our concerns and understand our vision. He provided a very detailed estimate and remained in constant communication, making last minute changes and adjustments at our request. When the work began, Matt and his crew were a pleasure to have at our house each day. Always professional and maintaining a clean work environment, and good for a few laughs. As always happens with an old house project, we inevitably encountered a few unexpected roadblocks. Matt offered creative solutions to each construction challenge we faced, and the final project turned out even better as a result. These guys are true professionals who pay attention to detail and never cut corners. They take pride in their work make sure your job is done right. We will absolutely use Gove Restoration again for our future home remodeling projects.

We have heard many great things about Gove Restoration and then had an opportunity to use them. They did not disappoint. They are reliable and professional. After coming to our home to look at the job they provided us with a very detailed and clear estimate of what needed to be done with a few options. They were respectful of keeping the area they were working on neat and clean during and after days end. Their workmanship cannot be beat. They provide high quality work and great customer service. I would never hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone who is doing a home renovation project.
