Questions
Why is contractor insurance important for my project?
Proper insurance protects both parties during construction. Casali Companies carries full coverage to safeguard your property and ensure financial responsibility for any unforeseen incidents during your project.
How do you handle project cost changes?
We use digital change orders with electronic signatures to track all modifications. This system maintains budget transparency and requires client approval before any additional work begins.
What areas in Connecticut do you service?
We operate throughout Fairfield, Litchfield, and New Haven counties, including 40+ municipalities. Contact us to confirm availability for your specific location.
Do you provide warranties for completed work?
Yes, we offer a comprehensive 1-year warranty covering all aspects of our construction work, exceeding the standard 6-month industry benchmark for added client protection.
How do you manage dust during renovations?
We use plastic barriers, negative air pressure systems, and daily cleanups to contain dust. Our crews implement these measures before starting any demolition work in occupied spaces.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash and checks to minimize overhead costs. For larger projects, we can arrange payment schedules tied to project milestones rather than requiring full upfront payment.
