TRP CONSTRUCTION LLC - Wallingford, Connecticut

We engaged with Tom and his team at TRP Construction for a whole house remodel including structurally changing the footprint of our kitchen. We instantly liked Tom from our first meeting, and we just knew that our home would be in good hands. Our project took approximately 10 months to complete and Tom was there for every step of the way. Of course with a job of this size, unexpected issues are to be expected, but Tom handled everything with ease and grace. He made everything possible to make sure that our vision came to fruition.

I cannot give enough accolades to Tom and TRP Construction. His team embodies everything you could ever dream about in a general contractor: professional, prompt, honest, trustworthy, responsive, and present on the job site. I would and have recommended him to friends and family.

Tom and Chris were very nice to work with. I’m very happy with the new roof they did on my shed, they gave me a great price and did a great job. They had clear and honest communication from the start. Very prompt as well. We will certainly call them up for future projects.

An Amazing Professional & Trustworthy Contractor. TRP Construction and Tom Prete did two major renovation projects for us - a kitchen and bath at my mom's and three bathrooms for me. The quality of the work in the kitchen and the 4 bathrooms is beyond superb, and to exacting professional standards. The end results in every single room are simply amazing. That alone is reason to hire TRP Construction. But the real reason is that Tom made renovating our home fun. Our three-bathroom project took approximately three months. Every single workday (Mon-Fri), Tom let us know who was coming to the door – and every single time someone showed up. The specific trades were uniformly timely, polite and expert craftsmen. You get to know someone pretty well through two major renovations – one of which was on-going where you live. Tom Prete and his team are what all contractors should be – professional, timely, honest, creative (in the best possible way) – while delivering a superb level of workmanship. I cannot recommend TRP Construction enough.

TRP did a complete kitchen renovation for us and the challenges they faced were substantial. We have an older house with uneven ceilings, our floors needed to be redone, our island was a solid 10 feet long, and our family decided to stay in the house during construction. If that wasn't enough, we were also needing to install bookcases in the adjoining living room, fix a leaky shower on the second floor that had put a giant stain in the living room ceiling, and then add shoe molding to the entire first floor, on account of some poor planning from a prior general contractor.

We agreed on a start and end date, and Tom and his team (and he has a wonderful, experienced team) delivered on the completion before the end date. All told, our kitchen reno and related work in the dining room took 11 weeks. Tom was at our worksite nearly everyday, even on the weekends, checking in on details big and small, and he always put "the right people, in the right place, at the right time," as he is fond of saying.

This was an education for us in what a full service contractor business looks like when it has a mature operations structure, with stellar office staff and stellar craftsmen. In addition, we just really liked Tom's demeanor, communication style, and evident care for our house and family.

Our project was a big investment, and we could not be happier that we put our trust in Tom.

We can’t say enough good things about TRP Construction! Tom, Christina, Bob, Ben, and the rest of the crew really went above and beyond for our first floor remodel (bathroom, laundry/pantry room, custom seating/storage bench in kitchen, living room with gas fireplace, custom mantel and bookshelves). We are so pleased with the end result and look forward to employing them in the future for more projects. Each team member was prompt and very communicative. They were all respectful of our wishes and were quick to address any questions that we had. Christina and Tom really made it easy to plan with their list of vendors, and the custom work crafted by Bob is just stunning. We really appreciate their attention to detail. We get so many compliments on everything, but especially on our custom bookshelves and beautiful mantel! We highly recommend this team for any home project!

TRP Construction exceeded all our expectations and created the home my wife had dreamed of out of our neglected, twenty-five year old raised ranch. Selecting the right General Contractor is crucial when planning a renovation. In our searches we found ourselves returning to TRP Construction time and again. Tom Prete’s customer reviews really convinced us to select TRP Construction. The reviews, and, of course, the images of his work. Tom and his Designer, Chris, worked with my wife as she meticulously explained what she wanted in the whole-house renovation. My wife, Barbara’s vision of her home was realized as TRP Construction transformed our sad little raised ranch into everything she wanted and specified. The job entailed a new roof, new siding, new windows and doors, new deck, opening up the living space through removal of walls, a new kitchen, a custom bath specially crafted to accommodate Barbara’s disabilities, a new bath downstairs, new flooring throughout, fresh paint, new doors and lighting fixtures, new appliances, mounting new TV’s, installation of two Ring cameras and motion detecting flood lights, and installation of a large, new, wood-burning stove. The result was breathtaking and brought tears to Barbara’s eyes the first time she got to see everything. As we look back on our renovation “journey” each of us totally agree that the renovation is way more then just lumber, and tiles, and tools. This renovation was so successful because of the people we were fortunate to have involved in it. Tom and Chris were both superb and were always just an email or a phone call away to answer our questions and reassure us of things throughout the whole process. While we weren’t Tom’s only customers, WE FELT LIKE WE WERE. We want to emphasize one very important and extraordinary fact about this renovation. That is that EVERY person on Tom’s construction team, and every sub-contractor, and every vendor Tom referred us to, were ALL unbelievably fantastic! We really mean that. After signing the contract for the job Tom supplied us with a list of “Preferred Vendors” to work with. Every one of them from plumbing suppliers, to lighting fixture suppliers, to tile experts, to cabinet suppliers, to flooring suppliers, to appliance dealers, to stone crafters, to window, door, and siding suppliers, to fixture suppliers, right down to the Wood Stove dealer…..every single one was fantastic to work with. These folks would all be welcome guests in our home any time. Now here is the really weird part…..We’re beginning to miss them all.

We recently completed a full renovation and remodel of our farmhouse, and we couldn't be happier working with TRP Construction. We met with a number of contractors and Tom stood out immediately. He was easy to work with, professional, knowledgable and offered design services with construction. Tom coordinated the entire process from design through constuction, and communicated frequently with us. His subcontractors were equally professional and performed quality work. We couldn't have done this without Tom and his team, and will be contacting them for any further work we might need.

I would highly recommend TRP Construction. We had our master bathroom remodeled by TRP. Tom (the owner) and his crew are very professional. They are very neat, respectful, and did the work in a timely manner. Tom was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. He is very honest and hardworking. We are very happy with the quality of the work done. We will definitely be calling him for any future projects.
