Liljedahl Brothers Inc — Kitchen, Bath & Home Remodeling in West Hartford, CT
Liljedahl Brothers has operated continuously since 1933, when four brothers who emigrated from Sweden pooled their trade skills in the Hartford area. The firm is now in its fourth generation of family management, with Russell Liljedahl and Drew Liljedahl handling day-to-day operations from their West Hartford office on Oakwood Avenue. That kind of tenure in the remodeling industry is uncommon, and it shows in how they structure work: long-term client relationships, direct accountability, and repeat-business rates that let a small firm stay at nine employees without heavy advertising.
Services
- Kitchen remodeling: Full design-build kitchen projects including structural changes, cabinet layout reconfiguration, countertop work, and finish trades. Liljedahl handles projects where load paths change, because they understand what removing a wall actually requires.
- Bathroom remodeling: Wet room rebuilds, tile replacement, fixture upgrades, and plumbing relocations in older homes. West Hartford’s pre-war colonial and cape stock often presents original tile-and-plaster construction that requires careful demolition before finish work begins.
- Custom additions and whole-home remodeling: Room additions, dormers, and comprehensive whole-house renovations across the greater Hartford and Farmington Valley area. Light commercial work is also within scope.
Service area
West Hartford, Hartford, Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, and the Farmington Valley corridor.
Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Four generations of family ownership in a single trade is a meaningful signal. The Hartford area has no shortage of remodeling companies, but most are young businesses without a track record extending past a single housing cycle. Liljedahl has stayed solvent and family-run through the Depression, the post-war boom, and the 2008 downturn, which makes them a sensible reference for homeowners in the Hartford metro undertaking larger, higher-risk projects.
