You don’t have to babysit for a change a building company when you deal with them. They will do whats right regardless! Day or night, rain or shine – they are always there. The president and CEO of the company? When do you get a personal service every step of the way? Here. At Ground Breakers. There is no price or value you can put on someone who cares and treats your buildout like his own. Thats what Ground Breakers are all about. Truly. Every step of the way! Dr Ravin

November 9, 2023I don’t think you could find a team of builders that treat your project as if it was their very own the way Lee, Sharisse and Groundbreakers do. From choosing the land, the excavating of the property to the final details of finishing your home-they put their heart and soul into every step of the process. They are open to new ideas as your build develops. If something doesn’t turn out the way you envision-they will work tirelessly with you to get it exactly right. If you were to ask Lee if problems arise during the course of a house build, he will tell you there are only solutions. We built our dream home. It was Groundbreakers from start to finish that made this dream come true! If we were to build another home tomorrow-hands down we would work with Groundbreakers again!

November 6, 2023“From Trees to Keys”…our little cottage, built on weekends in 1948 with castoffs from the Peter-Paul Candy Factory in Naugatuck, was literally falling apart due to insect damage, damp rot, age…we purchased a log cabin kit home to replace it, not knowing what we didn’t know about building. After several other quotes, I met with Lee, who very patiently explained some basics of building – such as, you can’t construct a new home on a very old foundation of stacked cinderblocks! Lee worked with us, step by step, through hiccups in financing, building materials shortages (spring through fall of 2020; height of the pandemic), Tropical Storm Isiais, and immovable boulders in the crawl space area. Lee is a gem, tells you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear, and bent over backward to ensure that we would be IN our new home (and out of the camper we were staying in on the property!) before winter. He is a man of his word, and these photos should speak for themselves.

We had a very positive experience with Groundbreakers in the building of our new home. it is clear to us that they want their customers to be happy with their product, and they go to great lengths to make sure that is the case.

November 6, 2023I am very fortunate to have found Groundbreakers almost 19 years ago for my companies’ site work and building needs. Their skills and communication are what set them apart from any of the local competitors. Pricing has always been fair and I have put their skills to the test on many difficult projects over the years. Don’t be fooled by other contractors who throw out a low price just to hit you with change orders later. Lee is going to give you honest and accurate information every time.

Lee’s attention to deail, professionalism and ability to break down the building process into simple terms that the homeowner can understand is fantastic. There were changes along the way and I felt that Lee was always looking out for the best interest of the project and not for his wallet. If you have the pleasure of having the decision of whether to hire Lee or another firm, think twice about hiring another firm.
