I had the most amazing experience with deMelis Atelier for my wedding alterations. My wedding was in September 2025, and even six months later, family and friends are still telling me how beautiful my dress was.
Melissa was incredible to work with. From the very beginning, I felt confident trusting her with such an important piece. I originally bought my dress in Texas and then moved to Connecticut, so I had no idea where to go—but after reading so many glowing reviews, I knew I was in the right hands. I wouldn’t change a thing if I had to do it all over again.
Melissa also put a heart on the inside of my dress that had our wedding date (see in photo below) such a beautiful touch, that I didnt even think of.
I’m definitely a Type AAA++ personality, especially when it came to my wedding, but Melissa helped keep me calm throughout the process. Knowing my dress would fit perfectly took such a huge weight off my shoulders.
One of the most special parts of the experience was when she altered my mom’s wedding dress into a shorter dress for my rehearsal dinner. Seeing my mom get emotional every time she looked at me in it was something I’ll never forget—it brought her right back to her own wedding day. I’m so grateful Melissa made that moment possible for both of us.
I also had my dress preserved through her team, and the process was seamless. I dropped it off, and it was shipped directly to my home. My dress had gotten pretty dirty from rain and being outdoors, but it came back looking absolutely perfect—clean and beautifully preserved for the future.
I recommend deMelis Atelier to every bride I meet in Connecticut. If you want to feel truly beautiful and taken care of on your special day, this is the place to go. ?
I was doing some renovation work in my home and wanted my large (9 x 14) master bedroom carpet cleaned while we were living in disarray. Greg picked up my carpet and throughly discussed the process of cleaning and how to target a couple of spots I had on my rug. Greg was fair, honest, kind and offered to hold my carpet while we were in the midst of construction. He promptly delivered my carpet when I was ready for it, for a fair price. We are so happy to have our bedroom back together with a clean carpet under foot. I highly recommend Greg and his rug cleaning service. Everyone I dealt with was easy to talk with. Thank you Greg and your staff for my very clean carpet!
I cannot recommend Carly enough! From the moment I sat in her chair, she truly took the time to get to know me—listening carefully to what I wanted (even when I wasn’t totally sure myself) and offering thoughtful, professional suggestions. I hadn’t been to a salon in years and walked in with a ton of gray, no highlights, and zero idea what to do—but also a ton of anxiety.
Carly made me feel completely at ease. Her personality is phenomenal—so warm, fun, reassuring, and confident! She gave me gorgeous blonde highlights with beautiful dimension, cleaned up my cut, and even waxed and tinted my eyebrows. I walked out of that salon not only looking fresh and beautiful, but feeling like I just won the lottery.
Carly is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about making people feel their best. If you’re even thinking about booking with her—do it. She deserves all the clients and recognition in the world. Thank you so much, Carly! ?

David and Marce make a phenomenal team! We've hired David for several projects both big and small, and from cabinet repair to building a deck to finishing our basement, they've done an absolutely outstanding job every time. They're reliable, meticulous, and plain fun to have around — and, we've come out under budget and under time, every time. We really appreciate their hard work and are already looking forward to having them around for our next project!
Highly recommend Anderson Builders for their professional service, honest work and ability to finish on time. Great job listening to us and helping us get the best value for our money.
We hired Mr. Tiezzi for various jobs, eg new bedroom closet doors, new bathroom medicine cabinet, new lower level ceiling, counter tops - he did an impeccable job. Mr. Tiezzi is dependable, professional and affable. His sub contractors also did a great job, from the kitchen wall tilers to the plumber. Everyone showed up on time and completed the work in a timely manner. You're in good hands with this company, for sure.
Great customer service very friendly and productive. I would recommend their service to anyone in need great people!

I cannot recommend George enough for ear piercing of little ones! His patience and over all demeanor with my daughter was exceptional. He took special care to explain everything and make her feel at ease. It was an excellent experience!
CT Roof Masters are professional, experienced, and provide high quality work. The result looks great and we will definitely reach out to them again if we need anything else. Highly recommend!
I contacted them early in the year. All contact was by text. I was not in a hurry so the slow responses mentioned in other reviews was not an issue. My guess to why the responses are slow is the owner is managing a lot of the business instead of paying someone to do it. This keeps the costs to the customer low. I appreciate the cost being low, IMO.
It was a few to several weeks before I received my quote. I had some cracks sealed and the gap to the driveway sealed. Note: I was never bothered or saw anyone come to my home. I know they did though. After we agreed to the quote we were told the service would happen in early June. This was around April.
The week before they came Michelle contacted us and let us know it would be a 2 step process. Seal cracks first then come back in a week and seal the whole driveway. The only hiccup would be the weather can/did cause a delay but it can’t rain for this process.
One critique I have is that I was told we could use it after three days and they even put up a rope with a cone. I expected them to remove the cone on day 3, but they did not. I texted after work and they said I could move it and they would pick it up the next day. They did. I would have liked that to have been known beforehand.
I am very happy with the end result and will use them again.
If you read my whole review thank you. If you use this company. Be patient with them and know they provide quality work. Also, know they schedule in a way that allows them to service as many driveways in the same neighborhood as possible.
Bill does a wonderful job, and is an asset to the Higganum community. He is upbeat and professional. His interests in music and baseball fuel many in-chair conversations.
