Contractors and or Architect in Southern CT?

[toreadorranger]

I'm in the process of figuring out a master bedroom/bathroom remodel.  Currently have 2 bedrooms that I want to convert over to a Master Suite.  Anyone have any good contacts for a contractor in the area?  Is it worth having a architect come in first?

Are you removing a load bearing wall between the 2 bedrooms to make 1 master? I did this at my house and it was fairly simple. I also have a friend who is a contractor who helped do my remodel. I also removed the wall in between the kitchen and living room. We used an LVL between both cut and hung into the joists. If you are going to the meeting on Tuesday remind me and I will talk to you about it.

Chuck and I have both used a guy named Tim for work around our houses and he does good work.

Tim has a full time job and does other contracting work on the side, he does live close to you though. I have another buddy Fred, who owns Anchor Home Repair and does very good work also. Fred is the guy who helped me with a LVL's and cutting into to existing floor joists. Let me know, I don't believe you need an architect just a contractor that knows there stuff.
