What our clients say about working with Jeff
Every review below is on our Google listing, word for word. Five stars, no exceptions so far.
“I have had people stop and ring my doorbell wanting to know who built my house!”
We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff Scalise on two new homes over the past six years, and I truly cannot say enough good things about him, his team, and his subcontractors. Having built twice with Jeff, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Building a home can be stressful, but Jeff makes the entire process feel easy. He is incredibly organized, communicates well, and is always honest and transparent. He works hard to keep everything on budget, even when construction costs are rising, while helping us understand where it makes sense to invest in upgrades that add value.
What we appreciate most is that Jeff genuinely cares about the quality of his work. He never cuts corners and consistently uses the best materials, from spray foam insulation to high-quality windows and doors. You can trust that things are being done right.
Finding a builder you can trust is invaluable, and Jeff has earned that trust from us time and time again. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!
We purchased a beautiful home directly from Jeff and could not love it anymore. We also contracted him to build out our backyard and are blown away by the final results. He and his team are incredibly talented and professional!
We have known Jeff for over 20 years and he has undertaken many projects for us over that time including a whole house renovation at our current home in Stamford. Projects are always completed in a timely manner and costs controlled. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jeff and his crew for any job big or small.
We had an excellent experience working with Jeff on several major home projects, including adding a room above our garage and remodeling our kitchen and bathrooms. Jeff is extremely reliable, trustworthy, hardworking, and efficient. He has a fantastic team, and their professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process run smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend him!
Scalise building did a fabulous renovation on my house. The original house was 1700 ft.² and after the renovation it was over 4000 ft.² Jeff and his staff were amazing to work with - they were really knowledgeable and explained every step of the process. I have had people stop and ring my doorbell wanting to know who built my house! It is the perfect New England colonial! I would use Jeff again for my next house and have referred him to many friends and clients.
Jeff, Kevin, Eli and the entire team were phenomenal. They were efficient but never cut corners. They were communicative, honest and direct. They helped us reconfigure and create an addition on our second floor of our 100 year old home. Highly recommend Jeff and team to anyone considering renovating or building in the Darien and neighboring areas.
Jeff and his team are truly wonderful to work with. They have helped us with a variety of bathrooms and kitchen renovations over the years. I could not be more pleased with their work. Honest, trustworthy, and the type of family company that knows exactly what they are doing. My family and I would not work with anyone else- highly recommend to anyone looking for a builder in their area.
