Xylem builders worked with us to plan and build a large addition to our fifties ranch style house in Windsor Locks in 200. Friends of ours had Xylem do some work on their house and they were very satisfied. From the first contact, the project moved right along fairly quickly. We more than doubled the size of the kitchen, replaced the cabinets, countertop and sink and added a breakfast bar. The small straight galley kitchen with an old fashioned wood and glass paned back door was changed to an L-shape kitchen with an enclosed laundry area and a beautiful new side door. The kitchen became the main entrance, which completely changed the look and feel of the heart of the house. People actually wanted to hang out in the kitchen, for the first time. Charles helped us to find cabinets that were both high quality and affordable. The finished kitchen was just gorgeous, and we were on a budget! We also added a coat closet, for the new entryway, enclosed laundry area within the kitchen, large 2nd bedroom and additional bath. It was also necessary to replace the tub and tub enclosure and do some cosmetic work in the existing bath. We enclosed the hatchway, turning it into a wider interior stairway to the basement, making it easier to move larger things like washer, dryer, furniture when necessary. Charles and his crew also changed out the furnace, put a new roof on existing house and sided the whole house. It looked like a new house when it was finished. We received many compliments on the house, especially the kitchen and 2nd bathroom. It was a real pleasure to work with the whole crew. They even cleaned up after themselves! Charles came in on budget and has an excellent work ethic. High quality carpentry and real talent for design. Charles and his crew are honest, hard-working and very professional.
