About us


Connecticut’s Best Renovator & Constructor
Better built builders | better built builders

Our mission is to make your vision for your space come to life and be even more than you ever imagined it could be.

Better Built Builders was established in 2008 by 3 driven people: James & Deborah Tranmer and their good friend Randall Michalek. With previous experience in the home improvement realm, they knew the inconvenience that comes with renovation projects.

Dealing with different contractors, miscommunication, designers, scheduling – it can almost be just as messy as what’s in the basement crawl space! So they sought out to provide a service and alleviate all of the stress for homeowners. Now the company services all of Connecticut and even Massachusetts – all from their main CT office.

We understand a satisfied customer is the best form of advertisement. That’s why customer service is our highest priority. The entire experience is made enjoyable and stress-free by keeping customers in the loop and providing them the opportunity to give any input or express any concerns along the way.

We’re always available to answer your questions and will treat all customers with respect and professionalism. For our customers, a convenient online system has been set up. On the site, customers can log in to see exactly what work will be performed and at what time on any given day. This also holds us accountable for our work and ensures we have a plan to finish the job on schedule.

Better Built Builders takes pride in its superior products and workmanship and guarantees 100% customer satisfaction.
