“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 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.”

“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 the home of her dreams. Tom Prete, his designer, Chris, and his entire extraordinary staff transformed our drab, neglected twenty-five year old raised ranch into something truly special. The project called for a new roof, new windows, doors and siding, redesigned and renovated kitchen, redesigned and renovated master bathroom, and entirely new bathroom downstairs, new appliances, new lighting fixtures, new flooring throughout, new paint throughout, two new Ring cameras with dual motion-activated flood lights, new deck, new wood-burning stove, and opening up the living space by removing walls. Not only were Tom’s staff superb, but every single contractor and sub-contractor were fantastic. Every vendor he recommended exceeded all our expectations. While we weren’t Tom’s only clients, WE FELT LIKE WE WERE HIS ONLY CLIENTS. We simply cannot say enough about the professionalism and workmanship of TRP Construction. We would gladly welcome any and all of his workers and staff into our home as honored guests. The really strange thing about the entire renovation project is that, now that the work is completed, we kind of miss them all. Choosing a General Contractor for a project like this is serious business. We highly recommend TRP Construction LLC, of Wallingford, CT - Tom & Barbara P. , East Haven, CT”

“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!”

“Retirement meant that my husband and I could “come home” to the town I grew up in and where my brothers and sisters live. We found a lovely, old house that needed an enormous amount of work. We couldn’t consider buying it unless we had a Contractor that would be willing and able to tackle such a huge project. Some would call it a stroke of very good luck, I call it an answer to my prayer, that we connected with TRP Construction!
Tom Prete is an absolute gem! His follow thorough, attention to detail and incredibly high standard of workmanship never wavered one bit during the year long, total house renovation. Tom is truly the best of the best!
TRP’s designer, Christina Hartman is an extremely talented women; she was able to take the less than clear ideas rattling around in my imagination and make actual renderings out of them. From those renderings Tom and his excellent team (Bob, John, Sokol, Ray, Kevin, Steve and Ben) were able to bring into existence what I had only imagined.. Actually thought, the house they created is far better than what I even imagined!
I am enormously grateful to TRP Construction, I love my “new” old house and I enjoyed every step of the way, working with such talented, good humored, wonderful people! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“An Amazing Professional & Trustworthy Contractor. TRP Construction and Tom Prete have completely gutted and rebuilt a kitchen, a bath and a master bath, plus renovated two other baths for us. 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.”

“We would completely recommend TRP to anyone! From the beginning we felt secure with Tom and his team. Tom and Christina took our ideas and shaped the plans perfectly. We had our entire first floor redone. We lived through the construction in the house which was interesting with 2 kids, a dog and my husband and I working from home. The process was so enjoyable. We loved Tom’s team and all the subs brought in. We lived w/ these guys from 7:30 - 5:00 everyday and they became part of our family. We loved looking at the changes and finds everyday. We experienced a few changes and issues but they were handled professionally and with care. I would again recommend TRP to anyone!”

“TRP Constructions is great! Tom Prete and his staff did a major renovation for our home. The finished project is amazing. The project scope included significant interior demo and a new kitchen, dining room, and living room interior. The work tasks included structural changes to create a new open plan interior; replacing a picture window with an 8’ wide patio door w/access to a rear deck; removal of wood paneling which was replaced with sheet rock (after electrical and heating system upgrades). We now have a bright new kitchen with new cabinets, new hardwood flooring, quartz counter tops, stainless appliances, and recessed ceiling accent lighting. We also have a new living room interior. The finished project has high quality workmanship and the contract price was competitive. Tom was here every day doing the work and /or checking on the work. The aggressive work schedule was held to and went smoothly. There were a few subcontractors who all arrived promptly when needed and did excellent work. Tom and his staff were all professional, friendly and accommodating to our needs. There were a few small changes due to hidden existing conditions in a 60 year old home. Tom took care of these extras with no project delays and the extra work was fairly priced. I highly recommend TRP Construction for any renovation project you are considering. Thank you TOM! ”

“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.”

“TRP Construction renovated a small master bath for us. From our original contact with Tom, through the completion of the project, we were more than happy with the outcome. The proposal was detailed, discussed and changed as necessary so there were no questions as to the work to be performed. All subcontractors were timely, professional and left the site clean at the end of each day. We were kept informed of progress and knew who to expect and when. Tom was always available when questions arose and was on the site almost daily. Because of the size of the bathroom, some issues arose. Tom and his subs resolved them professionally and to everyone’s satisfaction. Tom and his crew were clean, courteous and professional. Their ideas and suggestions were extremely helpful. The project was within budget and was started and completed on time. We highly recommend them and intend to contact Tom for another project.”

“We can’t recommend TRP highly enough. Right from the start, Tom’s attention to detail was evident. He provided us with the most detailed written estimate by far out of the contractors we met with. Once the work was started, he kept on schedule and on budget. He and his crew always left the house spotless and even had a cleaning crew come in once the in-law apartment was done so that it was meticulous! He does beautiful, quality work and he has integrity, which is the MOST important quality in a contractor. We trusted him implicitly and now are left with a beautiful space that we can enjoy for years to come. When we have another project, big or small, we will call Tom. We know that he will meet our needs and exceed our expectations.”

“Tom Prete and his TRP CONSTRUCTION company recently finished a large portion of my basement, from bare concrete walls and floors to a functional and attractive living space. He also did work renovating and upgrading my kitchen. Tom is a careful and reliable professional who pays attention to detail and uses his intelligence to solve problems. Each of his workers were equally reliable and conscientious. In addition, all of the crew was pleasant, thoughtful and accommodating. I am pleased with the entire experience and very happy with the results.”

“TRP construction is by far the best contractor we have used since moving into our home 12 years ago. When called owner Tom Prete set up an appointment to see what was involved and give us a quote. When the day arrived he was there to the minute which is very rare these days. Told us what was involved and how long it would take to order the replacement door and an estimate for all the was involved which was pretty much dead on when work was completed. On the day work started he was again at our house on the time promised with a helper. Job took roughly a day and a half to complete. We couldn’t have been any happier, top quality door, workmanship was perfect. These guys know their stuff. Covered all our rugs to protect everything and after job was done you would never know they were here. Perfection in a contractor like I said hard to find these days TRP was perfect. My highest recommendation!”

“5 STARS, We were very happy with Tom Prete. A job well done, highly recommended. Quality craftsmanship, professional and very reliable service.”

“TRP replaced windows in our home and Tom was very helpful with the choice of window’s with keeping in mind our budget. They were very professional and friendly, when they were finished the cleanup was excellent. we were very pleased with the interior and exterior end result. We will be using TRP for any future projects as well as recommend them to anyone in need of work.”
