Potter Built Construction was founded in 2004 with a mission to be a full-service luxury home remodeling company, based on close working partnerships with all clients to ensure their vision comes to life with superior quality and accountability. 

After decades of working on Wall Street, Paul and his wife Margaret identified an opportunity in the construction market, after several frustrating experiences remodeling their own home in New Canaan, CT. Believing that designing your dream home should be an exciting, detail oriented, and transparent endeavor, they embarked on founding a company committed to excellent client experience and increasing long-term home value.   

No project is too large or too small, with services ranging from:
•Large design build projects such as additions, garages, and stand-alone buildings
•Medium projects like kitchen & bath renovations, and attic/basement space conversions
•Small home improvements & repairs that are on every home owner’s to do list

Since 2004, we have built a team comprised of fully licensed and insured Master Carpenters and trade experts with decades of experience and knowledge. Having ‘seen it all’, the team is able to give expert recommendations, problem solve to meet clients’ goals, and ultimately deliver best in class results. All clients work directly with Paul – from the first meeting to discuss vision and concept, to project status updates, and ultimately project completion to ensure all expectations are met, if not exceeded!

Potter Built… well built… the first time!

**★★★★★ — Margaret Wenzel, July 2019**

> We had a leak in our home that other builders were not able to locate the source of. Paul Potter quickly determined exactly the source of the slow leak. His team of professionals were quick to respond and did impeccable work. The area was meticulously clean upon finishing the project. My husband and I are so grateful and so pleased to have found PotterBuilt Construction. Sheer excellence!

**★★★★★ — T. Crane, May 2019**

> Potterbuilt Construction was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we will definitely hire them again for our future remodeling needs! Paul's attentiveness and detail oriented approach made us feel confident and assured that our vision would come to life. The crew was incredibly professional and ultimately did an excellent job that exceeded our expectations. Thank you Paul & team!!

**★★★★★ — D & J, March 2019**

> We have done extensive renovation work with PotterBuilt Construction (PBC).  We bought a home that required a major update and we thought it better to do it before moving in.  The day after the closing, Paul and his crew were onsite and began the work. We remodeled 3 bathrooms, our master bath, partial kitchen, new mudroom, custom book cases and cabinets,  re-surfaced all the hardwood floors, added crown molding to several rooms and painted the entire house. His guys worked tirelessly 7am-5pm everyday (and some weekends) to get our family in before the school year start!ed! They were great to work with and we highly recommend them.
> D & J  Greenwich, CT

**★★★★★ — Tile & Stone Techniques, Dec. 2018**

> We have worked with Paul from Potterbuilt Construction for over a decade.  Paul is on every job overseeing every detail to ensure that the job is done correctly & in a timely fashion.  Paul is professional and truly listens to the clients needs.  It has been a true pleasure having Paul as a colleague on alot of the jobs that we are working on.  Every job goes smoothly & the end result is exquisite.  We would highly recommend PotterBuilt construction.

**★★★★★ — trooper1dog, Oct. 2015**

> Finding Paul was a god-sent.  We had a contract to purchase a home that needed serious renovation.  Unfortunately the closing date kept slipping, leaving us with only eight weeks before the start of school.  Paul was there the day after the closing with a dumpster, and he and his crew tackled the job like pros.  I knew from day one, we were in good hands.  Paul is easy to work with, reliable, trustworthy and has great design suggestions.  His whole crew is talented, polite and clean up at the end of every day!  Thanks again.
