Hudson Valley Preservation, Inc. 23 South Main Street, Kent, CT 06757

"We hired Hudson Valley Preservation for two larger home remodeling projects. The first was an install of a very custom high end kitchen and the other was repair to the side of our house. We decided to hire HVP the first time based on asking other people we knew in the trades for recommendations. The HVP name kept coming up. We are homeowners who value quality of workmanship, communication, and having a team of craftsmen that is going to get the job done as quickly as possible. On both jobs they gave us all three. Dave and Mason are people who enjoy their craft. Every conversation we had with them was filled with insight about best building practices. The kitchen project was planned well in advance and we were able to work closely with HVP on timing so that the job would go quickly. The second job was an unwelcome surprise when we discovered rot occurring on the side of our house. Not only did we need to fix that issue, which has been an ongoing problem, but we also needed to rebuild a deck located in a tough area. When Dave and Mason said they would be able to fit us in we did not hesitate to have them do the project. In fact just knowing they were going to do the project lead us to feeling we could relax and trust them to do the job correctly. Since the second job needed to be done without as much planning and there were more on-the-fly decisions, good communication was essential. Dave and the entire crew were always willing to stop and answer questions. If Dave was not on site he was quick to answer a text or pick up a call. Every day the crew was out first thing in the morning at the same time. There was never a day that the crew just didn’t show up unless we knew about it due to weather or a holiday. For us HVP is committed to excellence. Over the years we have reached out to Dave with questions and he has always been very generous with his time in order to help us. If you value quality you will not be able to get a much better team. They know the best local contractors and if they need to subcontract work out, the subs will be the best in the area. Finally, HVP is well respected by building inspectors, and that speaks volumes."

"I’ve completed one building project with HVPC and they are working on a second for us. The house they completed for us is truly spectacular and they did a wonderful job. Mason and Dave are exceptional to work with and are very focused on quality and making sure that their client is satisfied. I’ve built a number of other houses and think they are top notch contractors. I trust them completely and would recommend them without any reservation."

"Hudson Valley Preservation was hired for different projects for our home. In spite of the fact that they have great sub-contractors on their roster who do very good to excellent work, their major detractor is that you can wind up getting “better jobbed.” This happened to my husband and I without so much as a word or explanation from Dave Seeger’s. Prior to that, we had asked several times for proposals for different phases to said project, which was never forthcoming. One aspect to the job, was an addition for brand new kitchen, for which DAVE has asked us to wait a year before beginning until his other projects in the pipeline were completed. We agreed because we a) appreciated the work, and b) because we trusted him. As HVP was finishing our last project ended, and determined to end their working relationship with us without so much as a word, 7 months had gone by, wasting precious time in anticipation of beginning our kitchen addition. We could have found another contractor and could have begun the work. The behavior was highly unprofessional, and we could not therefore recommend this company in good faith."
