Gove Restoration LLC

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.

Gove's team did a fantastic job of scraping and removing the old glazing and paint and reglazing and painting all of the windows. They also cleaned the glass and vacuumed out the sills.

Gove Restoration did an amazing job on remodeling our master bedroom and installing a new master bathroom. I appreciated their willingness to discuss options and make adjustments as needed throughout the project. Their experience with older houses made the process go smoothly. We love our new bathroom and the improvements to our bedroom. The quality of the work is noticeable to everyone who sees it. I would recommend working with Gove restoration.

Outstanding! Gove Restoration is an outstanding contractor. From the initial estimate, through construction and the final walk through, Adam Gove and his team operate as true professionals. Their knowledge of the industry, meticulous attention to detail and commitment to customer service is unmatched. We hired Gove Restoration to make our 1st floor enclosed porch and 2nd floor open-air porch in our circa 1757 home structurally sound, stable and usable. The foundation, walls, floor and ceiling suffered considerable rot and were on the verge of collapsing from water damage through the years caused by incorrectly placed gutters (which they also fixed). The process was straightforward and top-notch. Adam was on the job site constantly. Any concerns or questions throughout the process were addressed immediately and issues were resolved quickly and thoughtfully with our budget in mind. Adam’s crew are all well experienced in their trade, are courteous, and their workmanship is excellent. Gove Restoration made a project that I was dreading remarkably pleasant and stress-free. We are incredibly happy with how the double porch turned out. Thank you for turning a dilapidated, unusable space into a safe, functioning area my family and I now enjoy daily. My only regret is not using Gove Restoration sooner! I look forward to our next project together!

We are extremely pleased with Gove Restoration's conversion of our screened porch to a 3-season room. Gove Restoration provided us with a thorough quote itemizing the costs for each aspect of the job. Adam is an excellent communicator and always returned our calls in a timely manner. He was regularly on the job site overseeing the progress. Adam and the crew were very professional and prompt. The quality of the work was excellent. We highly recommend Gove Restoration.

Very well. There was a great deal of work to be done on a number of areas and all were handled very professionally by a hard working crew. Communication was excellent from start to finish and work was completed as expected. The house looks great, we receive many compliments and we highly recommend Gove Restoration.

This contractor is first class in every aspect of their work. Starting with the estimate process, there’s no uncertainty with what they are doing. They provide a very detailed estimate and it’s clear what’s included and what is not. Very refreshing to see the details described in their estimates. Their work is second to none and every employee is kind and addresses any question you have right away. They actually make you feel like you’re their best and only customer. This is our 4th home and we’ve worked with contractors for over 20 years, I’ve never seen such attention to detail and high quality work before. This contractor takes their time and even when no one is looking, they will redo things to make it perfect. My wife and I were happy with the work and there were some very minor items they didn’t like when they did the final inspection/walk through and they fixed it on their nickel. We didn’t even notice it but their attention to detail picked it up. You can’t find a better contractor to work on your home. We’ve spoken to others that have used them and it’s the same story. We’ve never heard a bad word about them or their work. They were prompt, there were no hidden costs and the work was perfect. If you’re looking for high quality work and great customer service, Gove Restoration has it all.

Excellent!! Adam is a true professional. From first contact through completion of the job, Adam was attentive, considerate and on time! He carefully considered the request for work and made very good suggestions for product and durability, understanding the natural elements the product would have to withstand. The job was fulfilled by one of Adam's door specialists. The workmanship was outstanding and the attention to detail was impressive. Adam checked in on the job periodically, making sure his craftsman had what he needed and making sure I was pleased with the work and answering any questions I might have. Gove restoration is my first choice for all future home repair/renovation projects. He is timely, considerate, attentive to detail, estimates are spot on, no surprises (indicative of the fact he knows what he's doing), and his craftsman are excellent. It was an exceptional experience, I HIGHLY recommend Gove Restoration.

We are absolutely thrilled with their work, project organization, their work crew, accessibility, responsibility, and the outcome of both projects. We used Gove Restauration before and were never disappointed.

The project went flawless. Excellent crew, knowledgeable, and professional.

We hired Gove Restoration to completely repaint our 1920’s era home. From the first contact to the final day of work I can say it was a huge pleasure to work with this company. They were honest and provided beautiful craftsmanship. My favorite part of working with Matt and his team is their ability to respond to questions and concerns quickly. Their team is friendly and dedicated. It’s easy to find a company that does good work but it’s rare to find a business that has their customers best interest in mind, even if they say something you may not want to hear. We are in love with our new house paint and will love it for many years to come. Our neighbors often stop to look at the new house paint and we have gotten many compliments.

Matt Gove of Gove Restoration LLC transformed my very unruly bank to an incredible dreamlike zen garden utilizing stone stairs and boulders as the main focal point. Together with another exemplary Wethersfield talent "Artie" ("A.H. Hutchinson Landscaping"), Matt Gove's total vision came alive especially w/ the Japanese zelkova tree, assorted plants, & decorated stones. I totally love Matt's passion & energy towards any project inside/outside of my house. Highly communicative & open to anything -- Matt Gove is numero uno always for me!

I can't say enough about Matt Gove and Gove Restoration. He is personable, punctual, incredibly responsive, and he is a consummate professional. His crew has also been incredibly friendly and attentive. Our house was quite the eyesore when he began, and he has completely transformed it. We are thrilled with the quality of his work and his attention to detail. We have had strangers and neighbors stop to compliment the new house color, and people have also remarked at how quickly they completed the project, which we were thrilled about as well. I have recommended him to several friends who have already engaged him to paint their homes, and I will call on him again for future projects.

Gove Restoration has proven time and time again they are best in class. We needed a exterior door replaced which entailed a new door, casing, and adjusting the tile floor on the inside. Gove provided door options and styles that allowed us to pick one out that we liked. During installation, we were home due to Covid-19 Pandemic and they were very professional. They blocked off the area to ensure distancing, wore masks when needed to speak to me or my wife. My 2yr old was also home and he was very interested they provided great entertainment to him for the day and acknowledged his interests while doing the work and never once got annoyed. I will always recommend and hire Gove for not only the quality of the work but the quality of their customer service.

There isn’t a high enough letter grade to give Matt Gove and his crew. We have used them for two major home improvement projects and are completely satisfied with both. They are meticulous craftsmen. They show up when they say they are going to show up, clean up at the end of each day, offer suggestions without trying to up sell, and do excellent work all at a reasonable and informed price. Since they finished their last project - a complete redo of our front porch- passers by have repeatedly stopped and commented that our house looks like something out of a magazine. We are so happy with the results. We recommend them for any project without reservation.

Our experience working with Gove Restoration has been exceptional. We hired them to design and construct bonus areas as part of a basement finishing project in our home and from start to finish, the process was straightforward and first-rate. From the outset, Matt asked his trusted subcontractors to assist in accurately quoting and planning the project to avoid any “surprise” costs later. The few additions and modifications we elected to make as things began to take shape were seamlessly integrated with beautiful, on-time results. We especially appreciated Matt’s integrity and thoroughness throughout the process. Experiences with past contractors had left us skeptical that things could actually progress on schedule and budget, but his attention to detail and accountability for all aspects of the project (including materials, inspections, subcontractors, timelines, etc.) made this a very pleasant experience. We could not be more delighted with the finished result for our recreation and hobby rooms as well as still having ample useable storage and workspace. I believe the best recommendation is supported by a willingness to work with a contractor again and we have two more projects “on deck.”

It went very well. I had spent the prior summer painting my garage, so I had gained a keen appreciation for just how much work it was. As an engineer, I was impressed at the quote stage that they had a clear process and explained exactly what they would do. They are a premium paint contractor, and used high quality materials. Most impressive was that these guys are efficient. I was amazed at how quickly they got the job done. Most importantly, at every step of the process, they made sure to do it right. There were no corners cut or shortcuts taken.

Working with Gove Restoration was a great experience and if we could give them higher than an A rating, we would. Our project involved a kitchen, family room and living room renovation, and we couldn't be happier with the results-our new kitchen/living space is beautiful- exactly what we had hoped for and more. When we initially contacted Gove Restoration, we connected with Adam Gove. It was apparent to us early on that Adam was professional, thorough, detail oriented, and committed to doing the best job for his clients. We were impressed with the amount of time that Adam spent meeting, planning and discussing the project with us prior to beginning the renovation work itself. And once the project actually began, we were even more impressed if that was possible! It was clear that Adam put a great deal of time into planning and preparation and as a result, the project moved forward like clockwork and finished right on schedule. We were simply amazed at how smoothly and quickly our project progressed. Having Adam and his brother Matt (and on occasion their Dad) working at our house was a delight. They are quietly kind and confidence-inspiring, trustworthy, skilled and meticulous. And when we say meticulous we mean it- we would come home at the end of each day to a clean and neatly organized work space. There were a couple of unique design issues that presented given our space, and Adam and Matt came up with and executed perfect and beautiful solutions. Adam managed our project. He had the nicest way of gently guiding us in the right direction when we would be a little unsure about some of the decisions that needed to be made and his insight and guidance was always spot on. He kept us fully informed every single day about what was happening, and we always knew what to expect and which of his subcontractors (who were a very talented group of professionals as well) would be working at the house. Besides being gifted craftsmen, Adam and Matt's customer service is second to none. We are thrilled with our new kitchen (which was completely gutted and totally redone), our renovated family room (which included a beautiful new fireplace mantle designed and built by the Gove brothers to match the style of our new kitchen cabinets, perfectly laid out new recessed ceiling lighting, the removal of our old barn board paneling and the installation of new sheetrock and beautiful crown molding, along with a newly framed front window and a new door into the family room from the garage), our entry way (which involved the removal of the existing tile and installation of new wood flooring, molding and lighting) and our living room (which included sheet rock repair and removal of the existing wall to wall carpeting and refinishing of hardwood floors underneath). We were so impressed with the attention to detail that was given to every aspect of the project. Gove Restoration's workmanship is incredible and they are a pleasure to work with. And we love that Gove Restoration is a family business. Who would have thought that a renovation project could actually be a pleasant experience?? We cannot say enough good things about this company. We would hire them again in an instant and we highly recommend them!

We hired Gove Restoration (Adam Gove) to split a larger room into a library and a mudroom. As part of the renovation, we had to move heat and electrical, close off two existing doors (one to the garage), open up walls, create a new opening, take out an old intercom, create a new entry from the garage, install built-in cubbies, and install both a hardwood and a tile floor. The area wasn't huge - but it was a total transformation. Every person that worked under Adam was professional, hard-working, and went above and beyond. Our built-ins (Tom at Village Cabinets) are beautiful. Warren, who did the trim and floors, was amazing. Their plumber came back twice in one day because we noticed when purging the system to move the heat our daughters room was too hot (totally unrelated to the project and an issue with the house). He found the valve and re-calibrated. It's obvious that Gove Restoration takes pride in their work and oversees *every* aspect of the project. I can't remember a day that Adam wasn't at our house (or a day that he didn't come at the end of the day to clean). He went over every detail of the project with us, and gave us suggestions for picking out the things that we needed to (e.g. recommendations tile sizes, patterns, etc). It should be noted that we were 2/3rds of the way through this project when the COVID-19 pandemic hit high gear. We made the decision to finish the project (same skeleton crew that had been in our house), and Adam made it so that it was completed literally a few days later (at least a week and a half ahead of schedule). They were *beyond* accommodating to our requests - I still have the image of Adam, and the sheet rocker entering with a disinfectant wipe in one hand and a vacuum or pail in another. They put up plastic sheeting and were in constant communication. I can without a doubt say that we would have NEVER had the project finished if it weren't with Gove. And I can 110% say that I will choose them for our next renovation project. As they say, you get what you pay for, and we really feel like we got the best.

We had a great experience with Matt and Gove Restoration. They were professional, kept to our time line, responsive to questions and kept in close contact throughout each phase of the project. Wonderful finished product.

Once again, we could not be more pleased with the work that Matt and his sub-contractors did for us. Just as we were totally satisfied with Gove's painting of our 18th century home a couple years ago, we were very impressed with theirwork on rebuilding the front of our 100-year old carriage-style garage and installing overhead doors. Matt was extremely helpful in describing options to us, helping us determine the best approach for functionality, aesthetics, and price. What was most impressive was his close coordination and management of the various workers who completed carpentry and electrical work. He stopped over frequently to oversee the work and ensured that materials arrived on time and work was completed on schedule. With Gove, a client doesn't have to choose among quality, speed, service, price - you get it all. Matt and his brother (as well as his dad) are the best at what they do - they are our go-to people whenever our house needs work.

Excellent craftsmanship! Skilled, easy to work with, courteous. Definitely would use Gove again!

Adam Gove and his contractor Warren did a great job. Very professional and spent a lot of time going over what needed to be done. Highly recommend

Great experience with Gove Restoration. Their carpenter is excellent (new construction casement, clapboards and storm window installation)--his attention to detail amazed me. Left the work area very clean at the end of the day. Painting crew was great--again, cleaned up every day and the paint job is fabulous. Matt was accessible throughout the process and always kept me updated on progress and issues. Any issues that came up or any concerns I had were handled quickly and resolved to my satisfaction. Definitely the company you want working on your home, especially a historic home!
