About us

A local small business, we take pride in our integrity and professional results. Larger companies not only charge more to cover their huge overhead and large staff of middlemen, but also often assign the actual work to third parties who don't care nearly as much about your home as you do. We stay up to date with modern improvements in technology and materials. Often even tradesmen with decades of experience produce sub-par results. You might be familiar with the expression "that's just the way I've always done it"? We can explain to you what we're doing and why, so you can understand what you're really getting when compared to another company. We do work in compliance with local codes, so you know the work is going to be safe for your family, as well as looking good and left in neat, clean condition. In addition to the services listed, Connelly Home Improvement also provides help for Do It Yourselfers. While our prices are reasonable, it doesn't change the fact that sometimes professional services are an expense you might not want or simply can't afford right now. Many homeowners would like to save money, or simply enjoy the satisfaction of learning skills and getting results with their own hands. We can help you with DIY lessons in your home, tailored to your own specific scenario and knowledge level, or simply provide consultation to help you get started. We can meet you at your local home improvement store so you can make the best tool and material purchases for your needs. Stretch your budget and enjoy learning new skills with Connelly Home Improvement.

Jeff Connelly is a good guy. Does a good job, and maintains a very clean work area. He removed a cracked tile floor in a bathroom and was very neat and clean during a messy job! He removed an old tile backsplash in the kitchen, repaired drywall, and installed a new backsplash. The backsplash is beautiful, he did a great job! He's not always on time, but he does do a really good job!

Response from Connelly Home Improvement
I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it on time. Sometimes weather, waiting on materials orders, or (more often) delays from the previous appointment put a wrench in my schedule. I try to get to everyone when things get backed up and keep everyone happy. It doesn't always work out perfectly in this business, but I always do my best to try to get it back on track!

It was excellent in every way. Their cooperativeness stood out. I was working on it myself and the owner provided the labor and the skills and they completed the job. The price was very reasonable. I'm planning on using them again.

Jeff Connelly is the most productive, conscientious and reasonably priced contractor I have ever dealt with. The value is tremendous. He helped us select materials, stains and paint to ensure the best outcome. His cuts on the backsplash were perfect. The stained porch is beautiful. He works diligently so you really get your money's worth. He cares about the quality of his work. Jeff is not pushy but adds insight and good inputs in selecting the right materials. Jeff went out of his way to ensure we completed our projects by the Fourth of July, as our family was coming. To do this, he came over on a Sunday and worked all day and into the evening. He was very responsive and went the extra mile, including installing additional shelving tracks in the garage for no extra cost. I would highly recommend Jeff as someone who is knowledgeable, reliable and skillful. You won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: Installed backsplash in our kitchen, stained interior and exterior of enclosed porch with multiple spindles, built six framed screens for porch, performed caulking and installed shoe molding in three bathrooms, built shelves for garage, painted wall around front exterior door, repaired gap between kitchen bar and wall, and installed curtain rods.

. Jeff was very prompt about responding to our inquiry. He came the next day (Thursday) and said he would send us an estimate by email. It came in just a few days. It was over a weekend. We got one other estimate which was much higher and took longer to get. He sent many emails keeping us posted on progress getting the siding and when he was scheduled to start, it was raining. He emailed repeatedly until the weather cooperated. He was on time. The crew was very polite and knowledgeable. They put down drop cloths to protect the area below the gables and in the house where they needed to walk. Jeff was the only one who actually came into the house. The first day, before they left, they cleaned up everything, even sweeping floor that had a little insulation from the attic. They asked if they could put some supplies in our garage and we said yes. They did so very neatly, taking up as little room as possible. They bought their own trash can so nothing was left for us to clean up. The next day they were prompt,considerate, and neat, just as the day before. We plan to use them again and our daughter will probably use them. My son and husband thought the price was a little high but we haven't had any work done in many years and his estimate was much less than the other one we got.
Description of Work: They removed bats from Gables, removed gables and replaced with siding. They painted the new siding.

Good experience.
Description of Work: CHI provided an estimate. I had two other estimates, one was almost double, from Blue Sky. The other was in the same range as CHI, but that provider was not nearly as professional or knowledgeable as CHI.

Jeff came out, gave an estimate, returned a few days later, on time, with another person and performed the tasks admirably. He is very thorough and exacting as well as patient and sticks with the task until the job is finished. Strongly recommend using his services.

Description of Work: Jeff came and gave me a estimate of work for a punch list we had in our condo, prior to it going up for sale. I had about a half dozen items that needed to be attended to, and he gave us a great estimate. He came to work the following Monday...His work ethic was outstanding, as was the jobs he completed. When he was running late, he called to let me know, and always kept me informed of the progress of the projects. He did a superb job, and I will most certainly hire him again.

Jeff arrived at my house and got right to work ensuring that the ceiling fan was installed properly and operating as it should. He then installed my curtain rod perfectly in a matter of minutes. Lastly I chose a location for my outside flood light and within 45 minutes he was finished and I had a beautifully lit driveway. Very professional and efficient.

Prices very competitive. Connelly is very smart. This man is college degreed and has a previous career in computer programming. Home repairs are his passion. He was on time, right tools, right parts, worked fast and diligently. Good problem solver. After painting our master bedroom he even put all the furniture back in place by himself which was a surprise. We are going to rehire him again for bathroom remodeling and almost anything else that comes up.
Description of Work: Jeff Connelly replaced garage lights, two chandeliers in my home which were very, very difficult to access and had a lot of complicated access issues. Work was perfect. Right tools and equipment ready and he was very knowledgeable. He also worked very safely. We also hired him to paint our master bedroom and the workmanship was very fast and perfect.

I bought an investment property that had good bones but needed a whole lot of TLC to bring it up to date. Jeff Connelly made it look like a new house! He is very courteous and professional and his work looks great. He met me at the tile store to choose the tile for the bathrooms and the sun room floor and spent lots of time showing me color swatches for the interior paint colors. He didn't mind trying several paint color samples on the wall so that I could see what they looked like and make a decision. The paint and trim look perfect, the hardwoods are shiny and like new, and he used some sort of special paint method on my fireplace bricks so that they look like the bricks are multi-colored and have depth - not just like a coat of paint was slapped over my bricks. He gutted both bathrooms and started from scratch, tiling around a bathtub in one and creating a shower with a glass front in the other. The tile job looks great!! He installed new toilets and vanities and mirrors as well. Jeff enlarged a doorway between the living room and den, which really makes the rooms flow better. He power washed outside - making my driveway and fence look like new. I wouldn't have thought of power washing the fence - but it looks like a new fence!Jeff doesn't mind explaining how he does a job and answers questions thoroughly and clearly. I will not hesitate to use Connelly Home Improvement again. I am very pleased with the work!
