TOWN & COUNTRY BUILDERS LACUCINA CABINETRY LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 18, 2015
“Jay built our house and Maurica designed the kitchen. We are thrilled with everything. Our house was very challenging, with a lot of strange angles. Plus, Jay started building during the height of winter and still finished on time. Couldn't offer a higher recommendation.”
Sacred Oak Homes

“Steve MacLeay provided the comprehensive services of costing, project management, and construction for a custom home that I designed. I found Steve to be very professional and thoughtful throughout the process, with an appreciation for the balance between design and budget. Long afterwards he continues to serve that customer, who was obviously very pleased as well.”

Fox Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 7, 2017
“We had Fox homes build our new home which was a combination of modular amd stick build. They listened to all of our requests when they built our home and delivered exactly what we wanted. They handled the permitting and contractors. We highly recommend them, and additional family members are working to have Fox build their new home.”
Lanoue Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 9, 2020
“Dave Lanoue has a family operation and it comes across in everything he does. Dave is professional, communicative, thoughtful and highly skilled. There is not a person who has entered our home that has not commented on the excellent workmanship. We feel fortunate to have found Dave when interviewing contractors to build our home. He puts a great deal of care and attention into not only the details of the build, but the quality of his relationship with his client. I could not recommend him more highly.”
Jack Miller Contractors
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 2, 2015
“We have worked with Jack Miller Contractors on a porch railing project and had nothing but success. They were careful to do their "homework" on the materials, and then ordered in a timely fashion so that there were no hiccups in the process. We would recommend them, and gladly work with them again.”
Dwyer Contracting
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 3, 2014
“The kitchen/dining area in our Shandaken (Catskills), NY house--built in 1967 as an uninsulated hunters' lodge--was on its way out. The oven no longer worked, the third of the three refrigerators we went through was utterly inefficient, the cabinet drawers often stuck as if they were cemented in place! Long story short: Dan Dwyer and his excellent and friendly crew gutted the area, added insulation, installed recessed lighting, rewired extensively, and revamped the plumbing (so that we no longer need to crawl under the house to drain the pipes in winter). They installed the new cabinets perfectly. They removed a wall to extend the small kitchen. All that and more was AFTER Dan himself suggested a new design, including removing the wall, which worked beautifully. When we saw what his crew accomplished with the kitchen (where they discovered and eliminated mold, an unexpected health benefit), and noted the exquisite tiling of the new floor and back splash, we asked them to sand and poly the floor and staircase in the adjacent living room, install insulation there as well, and replace the molding (his suggestion, not ours). We could go on forever: Hire Dan and his people; you will be delighted.”
A. C. Wood Contracting, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 3, 2020
“Adam, Victor, and Chuk are all fantastic to work with! They all raise the bar for what an excellent renovation and new build should look like. With experience in both the residential and commercial field, there is not much Adam's teams have not experienced. They do a fantastic job and I personally recommend them for any of your home building needs. They have done work in our 250 year old home, including new countertops in our kitchen, helping to stabilize an old wooden floor with an incredibly heavy fireplace, and I can always count on him when we are working side by side for residential or commercial projects (I own a small glazing company.)”
Galarneau Builders Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 12, 2017
“From the initial planning stages for our four season sunroom, Galarneau Builders were fully engaged in meeting our thoughts for this project. Ed Lewis was fully engaged in all phases of our building. The craftsmen used on our sunroom were skilled and were sensitive to our concerns. As the project came to a close, my wife and I were totally satisfied with the competence of all involved. We were pleased that we hired Galarneau Builders for our home addition. We have only the highest regard for the professionalism exhibited and the desire to please the home owner.”
