About Us
Michael J. Nadeau Carpentry started in 1987 and is celebrating its 30th year in business. His personal experience goes back to 1969 when he worked for his father, Roland Nadeau and his uncle Zoel Nadeau building custom homes. Building goes back three generations to Canada and his grandfather who used to hand hue logs and build barns.
Michael has been very fortunate to have talented and responsible people work for him for numerous years including fully licensed and insured subcontractors who do all of his mechanical work. His company performs all of the carpentry work themselves. Michael believes that in home improvement it is very important to have a good plan, and coordinate and organize both employees and subcontractors from start to finish. “It makes the whole process run smoothly and on time. We are always complimented on how clean our job sites are. I encourage my staff to pick up on a daily basis.”
Michael also believes that communication is imperative between the client and himself. He is always accessible whether it is a quick question or revision to the project. A visit to his studio / show room is encouraged to view kitchen and bath cabinets, windows/door displays as well as many other products. Our gallery of photos from completed projects is also a helpful way to get design ideas.
The company performs new construction and home improvements including additions to homes, kitchen and bathroom renovations, sunrooms and decks, siding and roofing work. Our focus has always been on innovation and attention to detail.
Michael's award winning designs have been featured in building and remodeling publications. He won the innovation and construction award sponsored by Anderson Windows and Doors on five occasions. He is on the advisory council for carpentry at Goodwin technical high school and mentored many students into the trade. His company donates time for charitable events and contributes to local and national charities on a regular basis.

Built us custom furniture from aged trees and reclaimed barn wood from his personal collection! Amazing design aesthetic and price!
He is going to be working with us on a flip/renovation for some rental properties we have next!

We were thinking about an addition an bathroom remodel for years. We met with a few contractors for this project, but did not feel a connection with any of them. During our search we came across an ad for Michael Nadeau Carpentry. We set up the initial appointment with Mike. The moment we met with Mike about the project we knew he was the right person for the job. His experience and guidance were crucial in this project. We could not be happier with his expertise, from the planning and building process up to the end product. It was a stress free process. His crew is very professional, courteous and talented. Mike and his crew took care of every single detail. They did a flawless job! We love our new family room, bathroom and patio area. We look forward to planning future projects with Michael Nadeau Carpentry.

We hired Mike Nadeau to remodel our kitchen and could not be more pleased with the ease with which the project progressed, the timeliness of the work, the workmanship, and the finished project. Mike and Danielle were extremely helpful from start to finish in making our vision a reality. All of their recommendations were spot on. Jose, the project manager, his brother who works with him, and all of the subcontractors for electrical, plumbing and painting, showed up when they said they would, did great work, cleaned up at the end of the day, and were helpful and informative throughout the life of the project. The project was done on time, came in slightly under budget, and we are thrilled with everything about our new kitchen. It is exactly what we wanted. Mike, a carpenter, made us a spectacular, custom-made hutch for our kitchen that is not only a beautiful piece of furniture, but also provides us with so much additional storage. As soon as we met Mike, we knew he was the one we wanted to hire and we were right. We were very comfortable with him from the beginning. We highly recommend this company and would absolutely hire them again for any remodeling project.

Our job included replacing 4 exterior doors (including a new slider), 12 interior doors (doors to bedrooms, closets and bi-fold closet doors), removing carpet for 4 bedrooms/hallway and stairs, installing new bamboo flooring, crown molding, new stair rails and posts. From the day we contacted Michael and his team we were treated with the utmost respect, he met with us several times to finalize the project (*was always on time, and returned all calls promptly). His entire crew are incredibly nice, on time and clean. The job he and his crew completed was perfect. They were always willing to assist with any minor changes and they did not close out the job until everything was 100% perfect. I highly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for a contractor who is a true partner and does great work. Tremendous experience !!

I had a small project to remove existing french doors and a dangerous threshold and replacing with new french doors with an appropriate threshold. Mike and his crew were exceptional and professional throughout the project. They were very accommodating, neat and completed the job without disruption... this was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone knowing that he has the ability to complete a project with professional results.

My kitchen was very tiny and I wanted to make it more spacious. My plumber recommended Michael J. Nadeau Carpentry so I decided to give Michael a call. He came over walked around and took some measurements. When I first met him there was something about him that made me decide he was the right one for the job. He is very personable and very easy to talk to.
His employees are absolutely wonderful! Jose the project manager was more than willing to answer all my questions. He is very organized. Dave and Dan were also fantastic. Also very nice to talk to and also were more than happy to answer my questions.
If you want someone who is a perfectionist, Michael J Nadeau Carpentry is the one to do the work.
Thank-you Mike for transforming my kitchen into a beautiful place.
Last fall I had Mike remodel my kitchen and dining room. I was very pleased with how it came out so I wanted him to remodel my porch which is off my kitchen. It came out absolutely beautiful! Mike is so creative and talented. My walls were done in lattice which I love so much. I am so satisfied with every inch of my porch. Mike himself came over to finish up the steps and finishing touches. That alone is very impressive. Not too many owners of a building company would do that. He really cares about his clients and that is why whenever I have a project to be done in my house, I will always choose Mike. The guys who work for him are also wonderful! They are so much fun.

Our experience with Michael J. Nadeau Carpentry amazing. From the initial consult, to the planning and design, to the actual construction itself, Michael and his crew were courteous, helpful, and above all else honest. His crew showed up early, stayed late and always cleaned up after themselves. This was a major renovation that included removing a wall and gutting 2 rooms to make one beautiful new kitchen. At the end of each day we knew what to expect the next day, and the project was finished on budget and quicker than the time frame quoted! I have already hired MJN Carpentry for more work in my home, and plan to use no one else but them going forward.

My kitchen needed help. I called it the "black hole". Michael came in, took pictures, measurements, walked around the house to see my style and said he had a vision. We contracted Michael to redo our kitchen, which he gutted, rewired, replumbed. Michael, his team, the project manager Jose, the subcontractors - plumber, electrical, painter, everyone was very professional and great to get along with. They were courteous, polite and they cleaned up everyday after they were done. We think Michael is nothing short of a miracle worker. We LOVE OUR KITCHEN!!

Michael's crew gutted and remodeled our 3 season room, which was really only usable 1-2 months out of the year, into an all year room. The crew was very polite and professional. The room was cleaned up every day, the debris was removed and driven away so there was no need for a dumpster to be left on the premises. The crew manager kept us up to date on when the crew would and would not be here.
The crew takes a lot of proud of their work and it shows !! We are very happy with our room and would highly recommend Michael and his crew to others.

Robert Fischer from St. Paul Church, Social Action Ministry asked Michael Nadeau if he could help out on a HOME FRONT project in Berlin by donating his time and talent. (HomeFront is a community-based, volunteer-driven home repair program that provides FREE repairs to low-income homeowners, thus enabling them to remain in their homes with an improved quality of life. Currently serving Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven Counties in Connecticut; and Westchester County, New York.) With great enthusiasm Michael said yes and asked if he could review the project. After reviewing the project with me he had some great suggestions. With the help of Michael and his two top carpenters, Dave and Dave, and a lot of other volunteers we were able to repair, re-roof, and add a shed roof style front door overhang to our 2014 Home Front project. Michael and his crew made sure the project was completed and completed correctly. This Project could not have been completed as professionally as it was without the assistance of Michael.
Thank you Michael for a great job.
May God keep on blessing you.
