House Plan Designers in Darien, CT

“Pete Pratley and his team did three large home renovations for my family over the last 20 years. We were very pleased with the results, the construction process and the competitive pricing that we received on all three. He was very knowledgeable and experienced in guiding us through the design, permitting and construction stages of the projects. He had many helpful design and construction ideas throughout the process that we look back on now and are glad we took his advice. Lighting recommendations, window selections, structural and foundation advice, plumbing ideas and others that proved to be very valuable over time. He met deadlines and schedules that were agreed on and was very clear when it came to changes and cost adjustments before they occurred. He and his crews were always a pleasure to be with and my family felt very comfortable with them in our home. He had a great attitude, great sense of humor and could be reached at any time during the project. I would highly recommend his company for both big and small home building and home renovation projects.”

“I used Chris to remodel my accessory apartment and he did an incredible job. He turned an old style apartment into a beautiful modern space, and in doing so I added 40% to the rent I could charge. I'm so happy I got to work with Chris and his team.”

“Legacy and Chris's team did a great job with our renovation. Our job was significant including a complete update on all electrical, HVAC, plumbing, windows, bathrooms and with the addition of a new kitchen and modern spaces to an older home. Their attention to detail in the work and responsiveness throughout the project was appreciated. They had a daily foreman who was always available to discuss the work and options. They worked well with us to be respectful of our budget but were also always willing to discuss alternatives and new ideas. Overall we were extremely pleased with the final work.”

“They did a great job. They were very professional and clean. They adhere to the rules of the co op I live in and took out the garbage after they finished. They did they job in a timely fashion and were okay with changes I had proposed. I like the job that they did. I would and have recommended them to family and friends.”

“We worked with Mauro Builders on an extensive home addition and renovation project and we could not be happier with our collaboration and the end result! Shawn, Michelle, and their entire team were brilliant to work with; they run a phenomenally high quality operation and every facet is managed in an extremely timely and well executed manner. Shawn and his team of contractors/workers are such a wealth of knowledge and experience as well; they were able to tackle every aspect of our project superbly, balancing the fine line of what was absolutely essential for the long term sustainability of what we were constructing, whilst being mindful of and staying as much as possible within our budget constraints. They are the most respectful and considerate team of professionals we have ever had the pleasure of working with too - considering we were living in our house while the work was being done, Shawn and his guys really went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and not inconvenienced in the least. We were done with our entire substantial process of construction within a mere 3 months; work was undertaken every single day without any breaks and with the utmost precision, quality, and care. It is all a testament to the tenacity and work ethic that Mauro Builders is renowned for and in the tricky world of construction, they are undoubtedly a rarity! We would gladly offer up our highest recommendation for them!”

“BNL did a wonderful job building my family's home. I learned of BNL from their excellent reputation within the community, and they exceeded all expectations. The process of building a new home is daunting, and you often hear horror stories. However, Luigi and his family walked us through every phase making this an enjoyable experience. They were always available to talk, listen and explain/educate. The project was completed on time and within budget. More importantly, the house is beautiful and well made.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Douglas and his crew. After an initial project (building 3 small charming bridges on our property), he rebuilt from scratch our 400 square foot attached screened in porch which had been found to be structurally unsound. Our home was built in 1925 and we were very concerned about maintaining the traditional feel. Despite the issues with our porch, we were very attached to it and spend nearly our entire summer out there. Douglas worked with us every step of the way. He found a source of old wood and created a magnificent porch. He was always receptive to our suggestions. All of the wood work was hand done and his crew were fantastic. He estimated the project would take 6 to 8 weeks and the project was done in 7 weeks. Some of the old wood was left over and they even crafted a beautiful copper top table out of it for us. He was within budget with the exception of a few upgrades that we added (e.g. mid-construction, we chose to go with mahogany wood for the floors and for the screen frames). Absolutely love our amazing porch. Have since hired Douglas & crew for other projects (e.g. basement renovation) - all great experiences that exceeded our expectations. Professionalism and knowledge - outstanding Work quality - outstanding Ability to meet deadlines and budgets - outstanding”

“Franco is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the building process, provides excellent attention to detail, and is easy to work with. I always enjoy working with him on a project.”
