“I could not have higher praise for ER Salvatore Associates. They were a joy to work with, which is a rare compliment when it comes to construction projects. All pricing/bids were transparent, honest, the team was great at communication and the project came in on budget and on time. The crew was responsive to every request, clean and respectful of our home and engaging with our kids. I would absolutely use ER Salvatore Associates again.”

“Gene had a vision of how we could get the height and light I longed for. He really listened and had great suggestions and resources. He knew where to find stone slabs large enough for our countertops and went far afield to find these unique tiles. People are amazed at the difference.”
— Darien Homeowner
“E.R. Salvatore used intelligence versus brute force to work with the design. They were completely honest about issues and trade-offs, and presented options. They were very open to discussion and shared our vision.”

“E.R. Salvatore’s architect interpreted what we wanted. They carried over architecture elements to make it look like it belonged to the original structure. The deck ended up making the back of the house more interesting and more usable.”
— Westport Homeowner
“By far, E.R. Salvatore was the most thorough in their proposal; there were never any surprises. They were very detailed about how they would address all the structural and service concerns, right down to matching uneven wall seams and the variations in wood grains. Everything E.R. Salvatore built has 100% structural integrity and lives up to our very exacting standards.”
— Weston Homeowner

“E.R. Salvatore was invaluable in helping us discern among options. Our house turned out phenomenal. Thanks to E.R. Salvatore we spent ‘smart money.’ They were painstaking in presenting choices and estimates so that we made decisions that were right for us — with anyone else this could have been a disaster.”
— Darien Homeowner
“E.R. Salvatore had done work on my prior homes. This was our most ambitious undertaking and I was confident they could handle it. They have an excellent group of tradesmen whom they consistently work with. E.R. Salvatore handled all the permitting and figured out how to do the house on a very efficient basis.”
— Darien Homeowner
