Nu-Face Home Improvements

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Nu-Face Home Improvements, LLC was founded in 2011 by Joe DeCiuceis, who brought more than 25 years of home improvement industry experience to the company, including background managing both big-box retail and privately owned remodeling operations. The business is family-owned, with Joe's wife and son Anthony working alongside him, and it has grown to serve homeowners across Connecticut and Massachusetts with a service scope that includes siding, roofing, window replacement, door installation, and bathroom remodeling.

The company's siding work is built around Alside's Charter Oak system, which uses TriBeam technology to provide up to five times more rigidity than traditional vinyl siding — addressing one of the most common complaints about entry-level vinyl, which is the wavy or sagging appearance that can develop on walls with uneven surfaces. Foam-backed insulated panels are available for homes where additional energy efficiency and noise reduction is a priority. The warranty on siding installations is transferable, adding resale value for homeowners who may sell the property before the warranty period expires.

On the roofing side, Nu-Face works with GAF systems, and for windows they use Harvey Building Products — two manufacturer relationships that reflect a consistent focus on quality-tier products rather than the lowest-cost options. Their installers are trained through these manufacturer programs, which ties their installation quality directly to the product warranties that homeowners receive at project completion.

Nu-Face was recognized as a "Best of the Best" company in 2022 and appeared on the Top 500 Remodeler list in both 2022 and 2023 — industry recognitions that reflect their growth trajectory and customer volume relative to other remodeling companies operating in the region. Their financing options include no interest for 12 months with no money down, which lowers the initial financial barrier for homeowners tackling significant exterior projects.

The company serves communities across central Connecticut including Plantsville, Southington, Bristol, Berlin, Meriden, Cheshire, Wallingford, Glastonbury, Wethersfield, Manchester, East Hartford, Waterbury, Middletown, Bridgeport, and Danbury. For Connecticut and Massachusetts homeowners looking for a family-run exterior and bath remodeling company with three-plus decades of combined industry expertise and established manufacturer relationships, Nu-Face Home Improvements offers a structured service experience built around quality products and transparent project communication.

The Siding Guys

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

The Siding Guys, LLC is a Plainville-based exterior contractor with more than 20 years of experience serving residential and commercial clients across Connecticut, including communities throughout Hartford County — Plainville, Bristol, Farmington, Unionville, Southington, New Britain, Newington, Berlin, Avon, and West Hartford. The company is owned by Steve Ushinski and operated with a four-point project contact structure: every customer has access to a skilled foreman, a project manager, an office administrator, and a sales representative throughout their project, reducing the communication gaps that are common in contractor relationships.

Services cover siding, roofing, windows, doors, and gutters for both residential and commercial properties. On the siding side, they install James Hardie fiber cement siding as well as maintenance-free insulated vinyl siding — giving homeowners the option to choose between a premium, paint-ready product with a longer lifespan and a lower-maintenance vinyl option that requires no repainting over time. James Hardie fiber cement is a manufacturer certification that requires trained installers, which reflects a deliberate product commitment from the company.

Their gutter work uses seamless gutter systems and focuses on quality installation that ensures proper slope and drainage — details that matter significantly for how gutters perform over years of rain, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles in Connecticut winters. The company also offers gutter guard systems for homeowners looking to reduce maintenance frequency.

Customer reviews across platforms consistently highlight competitive pricing as a standout differentiator — with multiple homeowners noting that The Siding Guys came in below other established contractors while maintaining quality comparable to the higher-bid alternatives. One homeowner described a full house siding completion in under three days during freezing winter temperatures, citing six quotes received before selecting The Siding Guys as the most competitive.

The company is licensed (HIC #0631048), insured, and BBB-accredited since 2011. Their project portfolio is available through an interactive map on their website, searchable by location and material type — a degree of transparency about past work that gives potential customers a practical way to see examples from their own communities before committing to a project.

Peter L. Brown Roofing & Siding

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Peter L. Brown Roofing & Siding traces its origins to 1960, when founder Peter L. Brown started his aluminum siding and window business in Bloomfield, Connecticut — selling door-to-door and operating out of a barn on his property. The company moved to Granby in 1969 and has operated from 133 Hartford Avenue in East Granby ever since, making it one of the longer-running exterior contracting businesses in northern Connecticut. The founder's son Ted Brown joined the company in 1986 and helped expand its product range and market reach.

The company's motto — "Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again" — has been the operating philosophy through more than six decades of service. It reflects a commitment to quality materials and year-round professional craftsmen rather than relying on seasonal labor or cut-rate products to compete on price. The company's service footprint covers Connecticut broadly, with particular depth in the Granby, Avon, Simsbury, Canton, West Hartford, and Farmington Valley communities.

Services today include vinyl and wood window replacement, vinyl siding installation, roofing, doors (entry and patio), awnings, storm windows, storm doors, porch enclosures, gutters, and gutter protection. The roofing work uses Atlas shingles with Scotchgard protection — a product that incorporates algae-resistance technology designed to maintain appearance over the long service life of the shingles. The financing program requires no money down until the job is completed to the customer's satisfaction, which structurally aligns the company's financial incentive with the customer's approval of the final result.

Early advertising on WTIC radio with beloved Connecticut broadcaster Bob Steele helped build the company's name recognition in the Hartford area during the 1960s — a marketing investment that reflected Peter Brown's entrepreneurial instincts at a time when radio was the primary reach medium for local businesses. That early name recognition evolved over decades into a reputation built on word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business from satisfied customers across multiple generations.

The company is a small local business in Granby with a team of dedicated specialists who serve their own community. While many larger contractors have expanded into multi-county or statewide operations, Peter L. Brown's focused geographic presence in northern Connecticut reflects a deliberate commitment to the market the company knows well. For homeowners in the Farmington Valley, Greater Hartford, and northern Connecticut communities looking for a siding and roofing contractor with a six-decade track record in the region, Peter L. Brown is among the most established locally owned options available.

Burr Roofing Siding Windows

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Burr Roofing, Siding & Windows — now operating as Burr Custom Exteriors — has been in continuous operation since 1969, making it one of the longer-tenured exterior remodeling companies in Connecticut. Founded and based in Stratford, the company is a second-generation, family-owned business that has served more than 10,000 Connecticut homeowners over its history. Their service territory extends across much of southern Connecticut, covering Fairfield County, New Haven County, and communities along the shoreline and into Hartford County.

The company has positioned itself as a full-service exterior remodeler, handling roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters, decks, and porches as a single-contractor solution. This comprehensive approach reflects a deliberate strategy: rather than requiring homeowners to coordinate multiple specialty contractors for a full exterior project, Burr positions itself as a single point of contact from initial consultation through completion. Their internal language describes their work as "life-improving home improvement," a framing that reflects their intent to be a long-term resource rather than just a project vendor.

On the manufacturer side, Burr holds certifications from James Hardie, CertainTeed, and Marvin — credential categories that tie the company's warranty authority directly to the products they install. Their James Hardie designation is particularly notable: Burr holds James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor status, and has received the James Hardie Excellence Award recognizing manufacturer-certified installation practices.

The company holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and received a GuildQuality 2024 Guildmaster Award, along with recognition among top customer service leaders in the residential construction industry. They offer design rendering services and a design center in Stratford where homeowners can review materials in person — capabilities that reflect investment in both the technical and customer-facing dimensions of the business.

Customers frequently highlight Burr's transparency and educational approach: one reviewer described receiving a comprehensive and educational experience compared to other home contractors, which speaks to how the team communicates options, materials, and trade-offs during the project planning phase. For homeowners in southern Connecticut looking for an exterior contractor with documented manufacturer credentials and a long history of repeat business, Burr Custom Exteriors is a well-established option.

Vinylume Home Improvement

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Vinylume Home Improvement is a family-owned exterior remodeling company with roughly six decades of service history, operating primarily in Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York. Based in Stamford, the company specializes in vinyl siding installation, replacement windows, asphalt roofing, and gutter work.

On the window side, Vinylume is an authorized dealer for Renewal by Andersen replacement windows, one of the more widely recognized brands in the residential replacement window market. For siding, they carry Cedar Impressions vinyl siding, a product line designed to replicate the look of natural cedar shakes without the maintenance requirements. This product positioning reflects a consistent strategy: nationally recognized brands at the premium end of the market, with installation quality to match.

Vinylume describes their customer experience model as straightforward and hassle-free, which covers how they handle project planning and communication. Reviewers note that project managers are accessible throughout the job and proactive in addressing questions and concerns, including post-completion issues. One customer described reaching out years after a roofing job and receiving a same-day response from a team member who came out to assess a potential issue.

Some customers note that Vinylume's pricing runs above other bidders, which reflects their positioning around premium products and experienced installation crews rather than competing on lowest cost. For homeowners who prioritize product quality, warranty coverage, and contractor reliability over initial price, that trade-off is often described as worthwhile. The company carries a 50-year roofing warranty on applicable systems, which customers have noted has been honored in practice.

Their service territory covers Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Westport, Darien, New Canaan, and surrounding communities across the Connecticut-New York border — an area characterized by older housing stock and homeowners who tend to invest in quality exterior upgrades. With roughly 60 years in the same market, Vinylume has built the kind of long-standing relationships that generate a significant share of business through referrals and repeat customers.

Best Way Siding and Roofing

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Best Way Siding and Roofing LLC is a Waterbury/Wolcott-based roofing and exterior company that has been serving Connecticut homeowners since 2011. Led by Luis, Nathan, and their crews, the company covers roofing repair and replacement, vinyl siding, gutters, gutter guards, window installation, and deck projects — a scope that makes them a single-contractor option for homeowners addressing multiple exterior categories at once.

Best Way holds both GAF Master Elite roofing contractor status and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor designation, a combination that allows the company to offer two of the strongest manufacturer warranty programs available in the residential roofing market. GAF Master Elite status, held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationally, enables the company to offer the GAF Golden Pledge warranty. Their 15-year workmanship warranty supplements the manufacturer coverage with additional protection for labor-related failures.

A recurring theme in customer reviews is project speed: most roof replacements are completed in a single day, which minimizes the weather exposure window and reduces disruption to the household. Reviewers from communities across the state — including Southington, Manchester, Oxford, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Derby, New Canaan, and Westport — describe Luis and Nathan as responsive and professional throughout the estimate and scheduling process, and the crews as thorough about cleanup after each job.

The company photographs and videos the progress of their roof installations, sharing documentation with homeowners who can't be present during the workday. This practice — proactively capturing the before, during, and after of the installation process — creates a verifiable record and addresses one of the common anxieties homeowners have when contractors are working on their property without direct observation.

Best Way Siding and Roofing also handles emergency roofing services, which is meaningful in a state that sees significant winter storm activity, spring ice damage, and summer wind events that can create sudden urgent roofing needs. Their willingness to work beyond their immediate Waterbury/Wolcott base — traveling statewide to deliver consistent service — reflects the kind of operational flexibility that builds a regional reputation in a market where quality contractors are often booked weeks out.

Pro Exteriors, LLC

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Pro Exteriors, LLC is a family-owned, first-generation exterior remodeling company based in New Haven, Connecticut, offering roofing, siding, and full-service gutter work to homeowners across New Haven County, Fairfield County, and greater Connecticut. Founded from industry experience and a drive to build something independently, the company has grown its reputation through consistent execution rather than inherited business — a story the owners describe directly on their website as a point of differentiation.

The company has accumulated more than 422 verified Google reviews, an unusually high volume for a residential exterior contractor of this scale, which reflects both the number of projects they complete and the consistency of their customer experience. Reviews consistently highlight quick turnaround times, clear communication from Chris and the team throughout the project, thorough cleanup after each workday, and follow-up after project completion to verify the work is holding up as expected. One homeowner noted that the team came out within 24 hours to address an emergency gutter issue, at no additional charge.

Pro Exteriors handles roofing repairs and full replacements across asphalt shingle systems including products from GAF Timberline and TAMKO, chimney reflashing, flat roof replacements, skylight installations and repairs, and seamless gutter installation and cleaning. On the siding side they specialize in vinyl siding replacement and repair, working with CertainTeed and other major manufacturers. The company also navigates insurance claims on behalf of homeowners dealing with storm-related damage, assisting through the documentation and adjuster process rather than leaving homeowners to manage that complexity alone.

Service territory spans essentially all of Connecticut, with particular depth in New Haven County communities including New Haven, Hamden, Milford, Cheshire, Branford, Guilford, West Haven, Wallingford, and extending into Fairfield County through Bridgeport, Fairfield, Westport, and Norwalk. Their stated operating philosophy — "big enough to handle the job, small enough to care" — reflects a deliberate choice to maintain quality and communication at scale rather than sacrificing the customer experience that built their reputation.

Financing is available for homeowners who want to start projects ahead of having full funds in place. For Connecticut homeowners in New Haven and Fairfield counties looking for a roofing, siding, or gutter contractor with a substantial volume of verified customer reviews and documented responsiveness to both routine and emergency requests, Pro Exteriors represents an established option with a transparent feedback record.

A Plus Exterior LLC

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

A Plus Exterior LLC is a Milford, Connecticut-based home improvement company offering roofing, siding, window installation, and gutter services to homeowners in New Haven County and the surrounding southern Connecticut region. The company's multi-trade exterior scope makes them a single-contractor option for homeowners looking to address several categories of exterior work without managing separate vendors for each project.

Milford's location at the junction of Fairfield and New Haven counties gives A Plus Exterior access to a dense residential market, including neighborhoods ranging from shoreline communities along Long Island Sound to inland suburban areas. Exterior maintenance in this coastal corridor is particularly pressing given the combination of nor'easter exposure, summer humidity, and salt air that accelerates wear on roofing shingles, siding materials, and gutter systems.

Roofing is a primary service area, covering both repair and full replacement in asphalt shingles and other materials. In a market where storm damage events generate significant demand for qualified roofing contractors, a company with established local relationships and consistent availability offers a meaningful advantage over out-of-area contractors who enter the market opportunistically after severe weather.

Gutter installation and maintenance is increasingly important in Connecticut homes given the quantity and intensity of precipitation the state receives across the year. Properly installed and maintained gutters protect foundations, siding, fascia, and landscaping from water damage that accumulates incrementally over time. A Plus Exterior's inclusion of gutters alongside their roofing, siding, and window services reflects an understanding that exterior water management is inseparable from the other exterior protection services they provide.

For homeowners in the Milford area and across southern New Haven County considering roofing, siding, windows, or gutters, A Plus Exterior LLC offers a locally based multi-trade option. Homeowners are encouraged to verify current licensing and insurance, request written itemized estimates, and compare quotes from multiple contractors before selecting a provider for significant exterior work.

Better Homes Siding & Improvements

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Better Homes Siding & Improvements, LLC is a Wethersfield-based exterior remodeling company led by President Mary Lou Martino, serving Central Connecticut homeowners with more than 30 years of industry experience according to the company's own marketing, though the current LLC was registered in Connecticut in 2011. The company holds Home Improvement Contractor License #HIC.0631430.

Their core service areas are insulated siding installation, custom window replacement, and roofing — with insulated siding being a specialty area that distinguishes Better Homes from contractors who install standard vinyl siding without a backing insulation layer. Insulated siding uses a foam backing bonded to the siding panel that improves wall thermal performance, reduces noise transmission, and provides a more rigid surface for impact resistance compared to non-insulated alternatives. For older Connecticut homes with minimal wall insulation, this product can offer a meaningful improvement to comfort and energy costs without requiring interior renovation work.

Mary Lou Martino is cited specifically across numerous reviews for keeping homeowners consistently informed throughout a project, listening to client priorities, and working within budget constraints. Installation crew members, including a lead installer named Kenny, are separately praised in reviews for attention to detail and thorough workmanship. One reviewer described a contractor who came to do unrelated insulation work later commenting favorably on the quality of the siding Better Homes had installed — a form of peer recognition from a third-party tradesperson.

Financing options at Better Homes include both secured and unsecured programs, with some options designed to consolidate existing costs with improvement financing, often with little or no money down. This financing flexibility makes the company a practical option for homeowners who want to address deferred exterior maintenance without waiting to accumulate full project funding.

For Central Connecticut homeowners in the Wethersfield, Hartford, Rocky Hill, Cromwell, and surrounding areas looking for a siding, window, and roofing contractor with an experienced, hands-on owner and a strong communication track record, Better Homes Siding & Improvements is an established local option. Homeowners are encouraged to confirm current licensing directly with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection before signing a contract.

Elite Remodeling Services

★★★★★★★★★★ /5 Overall Rating

Elite Remodeling Services, LLC is a full-service remodeling company based in Southington, Connecticut, serving homeowners and business owners across the entire state. The company was founded by Mike and Keenum, whose complementary backgrounds form the foundation of how they run projects: Mike brings decades of hands-on construction experience across multiple trades, while Keenum's military leadership background contributes the kind of structured project management, planning, and accountability that keeps complex renovations on schedule and within budget.

Services span both interior and exterior remodeling — including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, home additions, siding, roofing, windows, decks, and commercial roofing. That breadth positions Elite as a general contractor capable of managing multi-phase projects rather than a single-trade specialist, which is particularly useful for homeowners looking to combine several improvements under one project team rather than coordinating multiple contractors simultaneously.

On the roofing side, Elite Remodeling Services is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which allows them to offer Owens Corning Duration shingles and ENERGY STAR-rated roofing options. The ENERGY STAR designation on roofing materials is relevant for Connecticut homeowners looking to reduce solar heat gain in summer months and improve overall thermal performance — qualifying roofing systems can help lower cooling costs and may contribute to energy efficiency incentive programs.

Customer reviews consistently highlight clear communication throughout the project timeline, with multiple reviewers noting that Mike and the team kept them consistently informed with updates at each phase. One completed kitchen renovation earned specific mention for the team arriving on time, finishing on schedule, and delivering exactly what was envisioned. The company is fully licensed and insured, and their financing options allow homeowners to start projects without deferring until all costs are available upfront.

The company's stated operating philosophy is that a successful remodeling experience requires three things working together: beautiful design, meticulous craftsmanship, and seamless communication. For Connecticut homeowners looking for a contractor that can handle both interior upgrades and exterior protection improvements as a single relationship, Elite Remodeling Services offers a structured, multi-trade team based in central Connecticut's Southington market.
