Serving the CT Shoreline & Middlesex County Since 1988
Where I Work.
I have spent 35+ years working on homes from the Connecticut River valley inland to the houses right on Long Island Sound. The conditions change as the geography changes, and the work changes with it.
Below are the towns I cover. If you do not see your town listed, give me a call. The list is not exhaustive.
On the Shoreline
Old Saybrook
At the mouth of the Connecticut River. Salt spray and wind mean prep matters more here than almost anywhere else.
Westbrook
Coastal town. Cedar shake and clapboard take a beating from the salt air.
Clinton
Mix of waterfront and inland neighborhoods, with different exposure depending on which side of Route 1 you are on.
Madison
Older shoreline homes, plenty of wood trim, plenty of houses near the water.
Guilford
Historic district. Careful color matching and traditional finishes.
Old Lyme
River mouth and shore. Salt air on one side, humidity on the other.
East Lyme
Ranch homes, capes, vinyl and fiber cement siding. Same prep standard, different surfaces.
Connecticut River Valley
Essex
Marine town through and through, with older inventory in the village.
Centerbrook
Village of Essex. Older trim and wood siding, often shaded by mature trees.
Ivoryton
Village of Essex. Quiet streets, treed lots, plenty of cedar shake.
Deep River
River-valley humidity. Algae and mold get established on shaded north-facing siding fast.
Winthrop
Village of Deep River.
Chester
Wooded, hilly, plenty of older homes that need careful prep.
Haddam
River valley inland from the shore. I sponsor the Haddam-Killingworth Youth Football League here.
East Haddam
Historic homes, old paint over old paint. The prep determines how long the new coat lasts.
Inland & Middlesex County
Killingworth
Where the company is based. I sponsor the Killingworth Youth Baseball League and the Haddam-Killingworth Youth Football League.
Durham
Inland town. Less salt, plenty of tree cover and humidity.
Middletown
Largest town in the area, with a mix of older homes and newer construction.
