I hired Charles Perrenod Custom Remodelling and thought not only was the contractor fairly priced and attentive, but finished the job in a timely manner AND was pleasant while working. A great combination! He did various projects, from framing to windows to my deck. Very versatile!

My husband and I moved into our new house, which desparately needed the hardwood floors refinished. After calling around, we came across Paco's FLooring through a referral.
The estimate was considerably less expensive than many other companies. The work took longer than they estimated (but it always does for home improvements) and they ended up increasing the price at the end (the price was still lower than the competitor's). The price increase was due to additional time that THEY had not allotted when originally coming to look at the floors.
All in all, while I was irritated that I had to pay because of their poor first-look, the outcome was nice (not perfect, but acceptable) and the price couldn't be beat.

My husband and I wanted to adopt a dog, and decided to go to Animal Welfare of New Milford to try to rescue a pooch (rather than buy from a breeder or pet store). What a great idea that was!
The volunteers at Animal Welfare not only know a ton about each of the animals in the shelter, but also clearly care about them and want to make sure you are the right home for them. They treat the animals very very well and we took home a happy, healthy doggie!

My husband and I wanted to try a new restaurant and, while strolling around the town of New Milford, came upon Arrividerci II which, we understand, has only been open for 2 months. We were happy to see it was packed to capacity (not a table was available).
After a short wait, we were seated. As the meal progressed, the service got worse and worse. We were very pleased with the food (delicious), but the service definitely ruined it for us. We saw some of the other tables getting great service, so we're not sure that our experience was typical. But, it got to the point where, without expressing our discontent, the waitress acknowledged that she had been "ignoring" us and told us our coffee would be free and our dessert would be 1/2 price. Later on, she again reiterated that our coffee and dessert were "on the house".
When the bill came, there was a charge for "Misc Food Item" equalling $7. When we questioned the waitress, she said, "That's for the dessert." We were tired of dealing, so we paid the bill and left.
Overall, excellent food... TERRIBLE service.

I tried my first pizza, and then my first grinder, from Italia Mia. My husband had a calzone.
The food is absolutely delicious, the portion sizes are HUGE (the calzone is enough for 2) and the choices of toppings/ingredients are endless.
Being used to New York pizza, I was expecting to be disappointed by any Connecticut pizzeria. But Italia Mia certainly DOES NOT disappoint.

I needed new tires and required name brands, high quality but didn't want to break the bank. I called many tire shops in the neighborhood and found Murph's had the best prices.
The tires were ordered and came in the next day. Murph's was quick and convenient. Murph's told me that he found out that the particular tires I requested were being discontinued, so he ordered for me one model higher (higher quality) and charged me the same price. He said, "I didn't want you to be stuck if one of the tires goes... you then can't replace it. At least this way you are safe if something happens to one of the tires."
Great advice, great service and great prices.

I noticed a growth on my hamster, George, under his chin. I needed a vet that treated small animals and, luckily, New Milford Animal Hospital did just that.
The vet was gentle and knowledgeable about small pets. Since there is nowhere else I found that treats these little critters, I recommend using New Milford Animal Hospital. Unfortunately, my visit was $150 just to look at me hamster. A bit exhorbitant.

I have purchased paint from many stores in the New Milford area and my favorite is the paint center at Ring's End.
The staff is helpful, they have tons of paint chips to bring home with you, and they are more affordable than a lot of their competitors for the same exact paint. They mix it to perfection! I have been happy with every paint purchase have made there. And they carry a full range of supplies for all of your painting needs.

I had to bring my car in to be serviced. I made sure to call in advance to schedule an appointment and obtain an estimate.
Of course, on the day of my appointment, I was quoted a higher cost and told the quote I was given was for another type of car (even though I gave them my specific car type) and the maintenance, which I was told would take 1/2 a day took the entire day.
This is not odd for car dealership service departments that I have dealt with in New York, but I did expect more from the CT dealership.
On the positive side, the service writers/managers were very nice and willing to answer any questions I had.

I am a graduate of Binghamton University. I had nothing but positive experiences there.
The university, which is high on the list for academics, is also a place for lots of fun and amazing experiences. Not only did I learn a ton that properly prepared me for the "real world", but I met my husband there and a ton of friends who I am still in touch with. Many say that a good academic school is limiting in outside experiences (friendships, fun extracurricular activities, etc) but not Binghamton. I would recommend it to anyone! Definitely apply!!!
