Frequently Asked Questions

We have been a family-owned home improvement company serving Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut since 1949, and three generations of the Aurgemma family have built our reputation on one principle: use the best U.S.-made materials and stand behind every job. We have served over 75,000 homeowners across the region, earned recognition as a Top National Remodeler, and hold an A+ BBB rating. What keeps customers coming back is simple: we treat every homeowner like family, and we offer a No-Hassle, No-Nonsense Warranty on all our work because we do not walk away when the job is done.

We handle a full range of exterior and interior home improvement services throughout Rhode Island, southern Massachusetts, and eastern Connecticut. On the exterior, we install roofing, vinyl and composite siding, replacement windows in multiple styles including double hung, casement, bay, bow, picture, and slider, and custom ProVia entry and patio doors. Inside, we remodel kitchens from top to bottom including cabinets, flooring, countertops, and islands, offer cabinet refacing as a more affordable alternative, and renovate bathrooms including full tub-to-shower conversions. Whether you need one project or want to refresh your entire home, we are a single trusted contractor with over 75 years of experience who can handle it all.

Every project we complete, large or small, comes with our No-Hassle, No-Nonsense Warranty. This means if anything we install does not perform to your expectation, you call us and we take care of it, full stop. We are a family business that has been in Southern New England since 1949, and we plan to be here long after your project is finished. That kind of longevity is something most contractors simply cannot offer, and it is one of the main reasons homeowners trust us with their biggest investment.

Every project is different depending on the scope, materials, and size of your home, which is why we always start with a free, risk-free in-home estimate so you know exactly what to expect before committing to anything. We also offer up to 100 percent financing for all qualified customers, so you do not have to delay necessary repairs or improvements because of upfront costs. Our specialists will walk you through all available options during your consultation so you can make the decision that works best for your budget.

The PROTEC composite vinyl siding we install is in a different category from what most competitors use. It is over 300 percent stronger than fiber cement, blocks 45 percent more outdoor noise than standard vinyl, includes Neopor foam insulation for improved thermal performance, and comes in 22 color options that are guaranteed never to fade, peel, or require repainting for the life of your home. Add to that our No-Hassle, No-Nonsense Warranty and our decades of installation experience handling New England's extreme weather conditions, and the difference becomes clear pretty quickly.
