Our Services

16 trades. One trusted contractor. Residential & commercial — across Hartford County and all of Connecticut.

01 · Exterior

Exterior

The envelope of the building — the parts that keep water out and hold everything up. Roofing, siding, decks, fences, framing and stairs built for Connecticut winters.

Roofing

Your roof takes the worst of Connecticut's weather — ice dams, nor'easters, summer heat. We install and repair asphalt shingle roofs with proper underlayment, flashing and ventilation so water stays out for decades, not seasons. And we diagnose leaks the right way instead of guessing.

  • Full tear-off and re-roof
  • Leak diagnosis and repairs
  • Flashing, drip edge and ridge vents
  • Roof cleaning and inspections

Siding

New siding changes how a house looks and how it holds up. We install vinyl and fiber-cement siding with the trim, flashing and housewrap details that keep moisture out of the walls. Rotten boards, damaged corners and storm repairs get the same attention.

  • Vinyl and fiber-cement siding
  • Trim, soffit and fascia
  • Rot and storm-damage repairs
  • Housewrap and flashing details

New pressure-treated decking on a rebuilt balcony with metal railing overlooking trees

Decks

A deck has to carry people, furniture and snow load for years. We build pressure-treated and composite decks and balconies on proper footings, with code-compliant ledger attachment, railings and stairs — and we rebuild aging balconies on multi-family buildings.

  • New decks and balconies
  • Structural rebuilds and resurfacing
  • Railings, stairs and gates
  • Pressure-treated or composite

New white vinyl picket fence with a gate along a residential sidewalk

Fences

A good fence is straight, plumb and set deep enough to survive frost heave. We install vinyl, wood and chain-link fencing for yards, front lawns and commercial lots — gates and hardware included.

  • Vinyl picket and privacy fence
  • Wood and chain-link
  • Gates and hardware
  • Posts set below the frost line

  • Wall framing for remodels and additions

New pressure-treated exterior stairs with balusters and handrails at a brick building

  • Exterior stairs and landings
  • Interior stairs and railings
  • Porch steps and stoops
  • Code-compliant rise, run and handrails

Interior

The surfaces you live with every day. Drywall, taping, paint, flooring and insulation — plus interior stairs and railings — finished clean and left clean.

Sheetrock / Drywall

Whether it's a water-damaged ceiling or a whole new floor plan, we hang, repair and replace drywall with the right board for the room — moisture-resistant in baths, fire-rated where code requires it.

  • Moisture- and fire-rated board
  • Ceilings, soffits and patches

Interior wall and window trim prepared for finishing, ladder on site

Taping & Finishing

A wall is only as good as its finish. Our tapers bring seams and corners to a smooth Level 4 or Level 5 finish so the paint goes on flat — no visible joints, no nail pops, no flashing under the light.

  • Level 4 and Level 5 finishes
  • Corner bead and flat seams
  • Skim coating over old plaster
  • Texture matching for repairs

Painting

We prep like it matters — scraping, sanding, priming and caulking — because paint only lasts as long as what's under it. Interior rooms, exterior trim, porches and railings, done clean and neat.

  • Interior walls, ceilings and trim
  • Exterior siding, trim and porches
  • Full prep: scrape, sand, prime, caulk
  • Clean lines, clean job site

  • Subfloor repair and leveling
  • Trim, thresholds and transitions

Insulation

Insulation is the cheapest comfort upgrade a Connecticut home can get. We insulate walls, attics, basements and rim joists — during remodels or as stand-alone projects — to cut drafts and heating bills.

  • Fiberglass batts and rigid foam
  • Attic and basement insulation
  • Rim joist and crawl space sealing
  • Air sealing around penetrations
