TESTIMONIALS

"We found the O'Dell Group after seeing their work on Instagram. We had just bought a house in the area that needed a major facelift to make it feel like home for our family.  After talking to former ODG clients we knew they would be great partners for us as we took on a pretty big project.  The design-build model was what we needed to make sure all our long list of wants could be incorporated into our existing footprint.  Our final scope included a new first floor layout including kitchen and mudroom, primary bathroom, and primary closet.  The whole team was always responsive and collaborative and actually helped us finish under budget. We're excited to work with them on our next project!"

“We used Chris and the O’Dell team to renovate and modernize our beautiful home. They did an amazing job and were always attentive and available. Our project manager Chuck was awesome. The final product is beautiful and complimented by all of our visitors. We can’t wait for Chris to work on our next project.”

“We have been working with the O'Dell Group before we even officially moved to Connecticut, so well over two years. Their team has always been professional, attentive and realistic when it comes to pricing, timing, etc. My husband and I have recommended The O’Dell Group countless times to people in the area and we continue to add new projects to our home to-do list that we are excited to have them work on!”

“We’ve worked with Chris for 7 years (on our house, our guest cottage, and even our pool and cabana), and most recently tackled a full basement remodel including a wine tasting room, guest suite and home gym.  Chris and his team design beautiful spaces, their craftsmanship is top-notch, and for 7 years we've known we're in good hands with Chris-- which is why we've kept going back to him for project after project.  I can say from experience that if you're looking for a custom builder above the rest, talented and trustworthy, I'd highly recommend working with the O’Dell Group’s experienced team!”

“We fell in love with a historical home but it needed a lot of renovation to make it in to a family home that would work for us. We embarked on a 1.5 year renovation and addition with The O’dell group and I’m so glad we did. They were super knowledgeable and worked with us on everything from architectural plans to built ins. Their awesome team of great guys is also what sets them apart, it was always nice to be around them. Most of all, their impeccable work speaks for itself! Chris always found a solution for all of our building needs.”

“We've been working with Chris and his team for the last two years and they never disappoint. So far they've renovated a bathroom, knocked down a wall, and completed countless small tasks around the house. They go above and beyond on every project and their work is unbeatable. On top of that, all of the guys are incredibly nice and make you feel comfortable right away. I can't recommend them enough!”

“When we moved to Westport we had a house fire that would eventually require our new house to be rebuilt from the studs. Chris and Lukas stood in shock next to us on the street as the smoke billowed out of the windows, and compassionately and confidently said “we’ll start tomorrow.” The very next day, and for every day following over the next eight months we felt like a priority, a friend, and a project they genuinely cared about. We have high standards and they were exceeded. In the years following we have called Chris for everything from septic tank alarms and bird’s nests in the attic to putting in a fire pit in the backyard and an enclosed vegetable garden. We have all the confidence in the world in their team and can’t speak highly enough of their timeliness, quality standards and pricing compared to other quotes. We feel very thankful to have someone who we know can handle any house problem big or small, and can’t thank them enough for what they have done for us so far.”

“The best part of working with Chris is when you ask him if something is possible, he always yes. And he makes a lot of great things happen. I hired The O’Dell Group for a full renovation of the exterior and interior of my home. Chris and his team are excellent craftsmen and wonderful people. The final result is beautiful.”

— Lawrence, Westport, CT

“We have been working with Chris on several house projects to restore our mid-century home and have nothing but the best to say. Every person who we have met on Chris’s team has been pleasant, helpful and professional. Chris himself has been an incredible aide in discussing design details, best practices, cost effective solutions and ensuring the work gets done right. There are no cut corners or poorly executed plans with Chris and his team. Their work is impeccable and has transformed our home beyond what we could have imagined. We are especially grateful for the level of service he provides on not only the greater picture but on small, one-off needs as well. You’re in the best of hands with Chris!”

“When we first sat down with Chris to explore our kitchen renovation wish list back in the fall of 2019, we had no idea the end result would become a dream come true.  Like most renovations, our project scope quickly expanded beyond just the kitchen as our vision for a more open floor plan encompassing the family room, dining room and living room became a reality. The key from the very beginning was Chris’s uncanny ability to carefully listen to our many  “what if” scenarios and come up with cost saving alternatives to keep the entire project within our budget.  All tasks, materials and fees were transparent and agreed upon.  Fortunately, we didn’t have any major surprises as we embarked on the project. We began the demolition phase of the project in January 2020.  What we didn’t anticipate was the onslaught of a global pandemic.  Even with all the challenges Covid presented, we still found ourselves enjoying our beautiful new kitchen and open floor plan by Spring, respectively on time. The many talented team members were fantastic to work with, were respectful of our home and had amazing patience throughout the project.  We marvel at the level of attention to the finishing details.  Now we sit back and say...that wasn’t so bad, why did we wait so long?!  It is our pleasure to highly recommend Chris and his team at The O’Dell Group.”

“The ODell group has turned our house into the perfect home. Their team was extremely professional, easy to work with, reliable and trustworthy. I would simply send a picture of an idea and Chris would turn it into reality- making each small project into a masterpiece. I would recommend them to anyone.”

— Allison, Weston, CT

“Thank you to The O’Dell Group for everything they have done to get me to the closing table before my rate-lock expired. A special thanks to Lukas whose relationships with the guys on the job as well as the town municipalities really pulled this together. It is a huge weight off my shoulders and will result in long-term savings for me. I appreciate beyond words everything their team of experts have done for me.” 

— Susan Leone, Westport, CT

“I have worked with numerous builders throughout my career and it’s rare to work with one that has been as cooperative and responsive and as invested in getting the financing done for their client like The O’Dell Group has… I found them to be remarkable to deal with.”
