Looking for a reliable General Contractor Connecticut? Shigla’s Construction provides full-service construction and remodeling solutions for residential and commercial projects.
At Shigla’s Construction LLC, we provide general repair and property maintenance services for homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Connecticut. As a licensed, full-service construction contractor with over 15 years of experience, our team has the skills and expertise to handle the wide range of repair needs that arise on any property from minor maintenance items that have been deferred too long to more significant structural and functional repairs that require professional execution.
Many Connecticut homeowners find themselves with a growing list of repairs that individually seem too small to call a contractor for, but collectively represent a real backlog of deferred maintenance. We work efficiently and cost-effectively on repair projects of all sizes and we bring the same licensed, insured professionalism to a small carpentry repair as we do to a full renovation project. If it needs to be fixed correctly, we can fix it.
We also serve Connecticut property managers, landlords, and commercial property owners who need a reliable, licensed contractor for ongoing maintenance and repair work a single company they can call for any type of repair rather than managing multiple specialized contractors for every task. Shigla’s Construction is that company for many Connecticut property owners who value reliability, quality, and straightforward communication.
Wood rot, impact damage, water damage, and general wear are responsible for a wide range of carpentry repair needs on Connecticut homes. Our carpentry repair services address some of the most common exterior and interior repair needs: rotted fascia boards and soffits that need replacement before new gutters or paint can be applied; damaged window and door trim that is allowing moisture infiltration; deteriorated deck boards, railings, and posts that need replacement to restore safety and appearance; and structural repairs to subflooring, framing, and other components that have been compromised by moisture or damage.
Interior carpentry repairs include damaged baseboards, door casings, and window trim; door adjustments for doors that have sagged out of square and no longer operate properly; door and window hardware replacement; cabinet repairs and adjustments; and stair repairs for treads, risers, and railings that have loosened or damaged components. We also perform custom carpentry repairs that don’t fit a standard category. If it’s made of wood and it needs to be repaired, we can likely handle it.
Drywall damage is one of the most common interior repair needs in Connecticut homes. Water damage from roof leaks or plumbing failures, impact damage from door knobs and furniture, cracks from settling and seasonal movement, and holes left by previous repairs or removed fixtures are all routine repair situations we encounter regularly. Shigla’s Construction provides drywall repair and patching services ranging from small hole fills to larger section replacements.
Quality drywall repair requires proper technique at every stage. Applying the right type and amount of compound, feathering the edges correctly over a wide enough area, sanding to a truly smooth surface, and priming before painting are all critical steps. A poorly executed drywall repair is visible under paint in certain lighting conditions and in some cases for years. We take the time to do drywall repairs correctly, blending repairs smoothly into the surrounding surface so the finished result is invisible.
Doors and windows that don’t operate properly are among the most common and most frustrating maintenance issues Connecticut homeowners deal with. Exterior doors that have sagged out of square, don’t latch properly, or don’t seal tightly against their frames waste energy and compromise security. Windows that are difficult to open or close, have broken hardware, or have failed weatherstripping are similarly problematic.
We repair and adjust exterior and interior doors. We plane and trim doors that have swollen or shifted out of square, adjust hinges and strike plates for proper latch engagement, replace damaged or worn threshold and weatherstripping components, and install new door hardware. We also repair and replace window hardware, weatherstripping, and sash components on double hung, casement, and other window types. And where doors and windows have deteriorated beyond repair, we install new units.
Failed or missing caulk around windows, doors, penetrations, and exterior transitions is one of the leading causes of moisture infiltration in Connecticut homes. Connecticut’s seasonal temperature cycling causes caulk to expand and contract continuously, and even quality caulk products eventually fail by cracking, shrinking away from surfaces, or simply deteriorating with age. Shigla’s Construction provides thorough caulking and weatherproofing services for Connecticut properties.
We remove deteriorated caulk completely before applying new material, a step that is commonly skipped but essential for proper adhesion and performance of the new caulk. We use the correct caulk product for each application. Silicone for glass and non porous surfaces, paintable polyurethane for exterior trim joints and gaps, and specialty products for specific substrate combinations. Proper caulking at all exterior joints and penetrations significantly reduces air infiltration, moisture entry, and energy loss.
Damaged, squeaky, or deteriorated flooring is both unsightly and potentially a trip hazard. Shigla’s Construction repairs and replaces flooring in Connecticut homes and commercial properties, addressing the most common flooring issues including squeaky floorboards caused by subfloor movement at joists, loose or damaged hardwood planks, cracked or chipped tile, damaged laminate sections, and vinyl flooring failures. We also replace sections of subfloor that have been compromised by water damage or rot.
For hardwood floor repairs, we match existing flooring materials as closely as possible and blend repairs into the surrounding floor to minimize visible transitions. For tile repairs, we source replacement tiles to match existing installations or advise on transition options when an exact match is unavailable. All flooring repairs are approached with the goal of producing a finished result that is functional, safe, and as visually consistent with the surrounding floor as possible.
Ongoing property maintenance is essential for protecting the value and condition of any Connecticut home or commercial property. Shigla’s Construction provides property maintenance services for Connecticut homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers. This includes scheduled maintenance visits, repair as needed services, and pre season inspections that identify and address issues before they develop into larger and more expensive problems.
Our property maintenance services cover a wide range of recurring and one time maintenance needs including exterior caulking and weatherproofing inspections and renewal, gutter cleaning and inspection, minor carpentry repairs, touch up painting, door and window adjustments, and general inspections that identify emerging repair needs before they become urgent. For landlords and property managers, having a single licensed and insured contractor available for maintenance and repair work across their Connecticut portfolio provides significant convenience and consistency.
