Testimonials & Letters From Our Customers

I have hired T. M. Builders for several home improvement projects since 2003 and each and every experience dealing with Ted and his workers has been a pleasure. I made the mistake of hiring other companies in the past and regretted it; their work and service was of poor quality compared to what I receive from T. M. Builders. I had a deck built by another company and received a “Lifetime Warranty” from them, however after a couple of years the company went out of business and the deck began to crack and fall apart. I knew if I wanted my deck fixed properly I needed to contact a reliable contractor. Once again Ted and his workers came to my aid and solved my deck issues quickly. Working with Ted you receive great service; he is always available to answer questions and fix any unforeseen issues that arise. Other companies I dealt with I could never reach them except for voicemail, there was no communication and they hid their mistakes. Ted takes extra time and measures to keep me informed of progress and his workers took time to fix the mistakes made by the other company. A special thanks to Eric and Henry for going above and beyond to make my deck perfect and me very happy. Words cannot express how truly grateful I am for Ted and everything he has done for me throughout the years.

We are writing to express our thanks to your company, T. M. Builders, for a job well done. Work was meticulously performed within the estimated time frame as promised. Working with our project manager, Carl Desaulniers was a pleasure right from day one. He was patient, listened to our wants and needs and made sure they were carried out. Our work crew of Ricky and Henry were very cooperative and made sure that at the end of the day we were pleased by what they had done. They put a considerable amount of time into the little details. Again, kudos to T. M. Builders, Carl, Ricky and Henry for a first-rate job. We would not hesitate to refer T. M. Builders to anyone looking for top quality service. Please feel free to give our home number to anyone who would like a referral.

T.M. Builders did a wonderful job repairing the damage to my home. During Hurricane Irene, a 110 foot, long-needled pine tree fell on the house. It created a lot of structural and water damage both inside and out. Because they were dealing with a 25 year old modular home, Jon Stockford, the Project Manager, worked carefully with an architectural engineer and the town building inspector to make sure all repairs were up to code. Jon and his crew went above and beyond with all aspects of reconstruction, and payed special attention to even the smallest details. They started on time, stayed within budget, and finished early allowing me to move back home on their scheduled day of completion. I am very pleased with all of the work done by T.M. Builders and wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone.

I'd like to let you know that you have restored my faith in contractors! The deck replacement job you did on our house was done in a very timely and consistent manner. Workers were here when they said they'd be and the job was done when you said it would be. That is a rarity nowadays. The appearance of our deck is beautiful and very professional in all aspects. Even when I had questions about the material and the time frame you always took my calls and didn't act like you were being put out of your way to do so. The workmanship is wonderful. There were no corners skipped at all. We have had many compliments about the appearance of the deck and so many questions about who did it and whether we could recommend our contractors to them. I must say I wouldn't think twice about recommending you for any job. This deck was no small feat, measuring over 110 feet long and 10 feet wide with angles all over the place. You even fixed what the original builders did wrong! I thank you very very much for that! Again, I will definitely call you if we have more work around here to be done, and I will recommend you to my friends and family if they are ever in need of your services. Thank you again.

When we started to talk about adding on to our house we were scared due to the horror stories you hear on the news and from previous home owners with work done by other contractors. I am pleased to say that the whole process went smooth and faster than I imagined. Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly, especially Ted Mish, who owns the company. His attention to us when we were explaining what we wanted was 125%. I will recommend T.M.. Builders to anyone I know that needs work done. My wife and I are very pleased with our “new” home. Our friends and family say the house should be in a magazine! Thank you Ted.

Rachael and I are very happy with your management and skills in building our custom home to our specifications. We especially appreciated the fact that we needed to make decisions that you assisted us with which removed the stress from the new construction stereotypical troubles. You and your company were a joy and made our home a fun experience. Thank you.

In 2008, I started a rather large addition to our secondary home in Stonington in preparation for making it our primary home. I planned to do most of the work myself however in the Fall/Winter season, with weather making it difficult to accomplish much, the holidays right around the corner and a contract of sale on our primary residence, I suddenly found myself in need of the services of a builder to complete the framing, and get my structure closed to the weather so that I could continue making progress on the mechanical work that lay ahead.
 

I found myself at a huge disadvantage for several reasons:
1) Since we are not from this area, being unfamiliar with the reputation of the contractors I contacted.
2) I needed the work done in a hurry
3) This expenditure was not in my original budget
 

After contacting 3 or 4 builder/contractors, Ted Mish (TM Builders) was the first to return my call, showed not only a great understanding of what I wanted to accomplish but also expressed enthusiasm for working with me and getting it done in a timely manner. Ted sat down with me to review the drawings/plans I had, made a couple suggestions to improve upon my ideas, and solved one issue I had regarding the placement of a staircase. He then was very prompt with returning an estimate/proposal which I found to be very competitive despite my circumstance.
 

With great confidence, we contracted with TM Builders to do our project, and are very glad we did. We got exactly what we expected, and a little bit more. There were no hidden surprises or price creep at the end, so common in projects of this type. Ted's crews worked in a very professional manner, were on site every day that weather permitted until the sun went down, did not waste material, and respected our home throughout the process. In fact, I don't believe they ever stepped foot inside the existing portion of our home! Our project was completed on time, and on budget, and turned out fantastic. They turned what could have easily been a negative experience into a pleasure. We highly recommend TM Builders for all your contracting needs.

I recently contracted with T.M. Builders for a new roof on my home at 102 Mitchell St in Groton, and am very pleased with the results. The job was fairly extensive, involving stripping 3 layers of old shingles, new plywood, flashing, ridge vent and new 30 yr architectural shingles. The roofing crew was prompt and very efficient. What would have easily been a 3 or 4 day project, was accomplished in just 2 long (10 ½ hr) days. Their proficiency and attention to detail are quite evident in the finished product. The lawn and driveway were thoroughly picked up and raked or swept at the end of each day, and the price was very competitive.
 

Based on my experience, I would highly recommend T.M. Builders for any contemplated home improvement project.
