Sustainable Design Companies in North Stonington

“Mark Horan and Horan Building have built two homes for us over the past 10 years. We are a repeat customer for many reasons. It all starts with Mark and his extremely talented team. When getting to know Mark, there is a sincerity and confidence that he is going to build you an unforgettable home. And he did, twice! Building the kind of home Mark does, takes a lot of craftsmen. From the design team to the finish work, these folks are extraordinary. You’ll know what I mean when you see the finished product. Amazing! The people who work for Mark really care about building the best. They are there for you during the process and after as well. The homes are not only beautiful, they are solid too. Time is a great test to owning a home in a beach community. When you visit one of Mark’s projects, new or rich with family memories, you’ll know why we love our home and why there is nobody like Mark and his team! Thank you Mark and Horan Building Company! Sincerely, Hank and Laurie Holbrook”

“Building in Narragansettt. Reliable business, dependable and right on schedule. Looking forward to project finishing up and seeing it complete. Great experience.”

“Very nice and very smart. Best of all always did what she said. Also on time, and no extra cost. Great craftsman and polite.”

“Don is very professional and knowledgable in all aspects of design, construction and remodeling. He does high quality work and meets deadlines and budgets. He built a deck and an addition to my mother's house in Stamford, CT, over 20 years ago, which not only increased the living room size but also gave the room so much more light. His great work allowed us to sell the house at a good price when my mother passed. I highly recommend his work.”

“We have been working with Jay and Rob for over 4 months on renovating an 1830 home in Stonington Borough. They never disappoint. They work fast with accuracy, attention to detail, and outstanding quality. They prefer 'time and material' billing which has worked well for us as they are extremely efficient with their time. Jay's relationships with top quality subs has made the project move faster. I have renovated 4 other homes and feel they are of the highest quality.”

“Had my bathroom fixtures replaced - was on schedule - was able to pick out all my own fixtures (bathtub, sink, lights) which saved me money - work was done in reasonable time as presented by them - work was impeccable - nice to work with - explained to me anything I needed to know - would have them back in a heart beat - great job”

“Brewster Thornton Group Architects, and myself personally, have been working with Jeremy Sherer for over 20 years. We refer him again and again based on client satisfaction, good workmanship, and a very organized approach to construction. He does not hesitate to ask questions, and stays consistently with the project until it is complete. His company is professional, thorough, and courteous.”

“Keith and his team redid the outside of our 1916 Craftsman home. The workmanship was outstanding and Keith suggested many details that enhanced the house and restored it to its true craftsman beauty. The work was done on time and on budget. Keith is an excellent contractor to work with -- he totally got what we were trying to achieve and worked patiently with us to pick out the right materials and colors. The work included new cedar shingles, new window frames, new braces and woodwork, and new roof. Would definitely use Keith again.”

“You can add us to what I know are several clients of DesignBuild Hamptons who were so impressed that we let our prior architect go (even though we were several months into planning with him). Our small (1100 s.f.) 19th c. cedar shake “fisherman’s shack” needed serious updating and rehab after our ancient roof sprang a leak and we were told that the fireplace that was our primary heat source had burned its last piece of wood. We wanted to bring the place closer to the 21st century, maybe even introduce central heat and air, but knew that our hopes of even a modest expansion would likely catch us up in regulatory red tape, with all the attendant consultants … and delay … and expense. We were well down that path, having hired two different consultants on top of our prior architect, when we were lucky enough to meet up with Tom and Annie. Shortly after our first meeting, Annie sketched out some design ideas that seemed both intriguing and re-assuring, conveying to us that she knew we wanted to preserve the feeling of the place, even while renovating. She modified and refined the plans over several informal and wide-ranging discussions, adding a master bedroom and bath; a completely re-designed, bright and airy kitchen; with higher ceilings, and more and larger windows both upstairs and down. For his part, Tom came up with solutions to the feared regulatory boondoggle that completely skirted that bureaucratic black hole and allowed us to send our growing team of consultants packing. With our prior architect, we’d spent months looking at plans, butting heads over design disputes, and encountering problems and complications at every turn. With Tom and Annie, we had our plans mostly figured out in six weeks. We first sat down with them in the Summer of 2010, broke ground on December 1st, and were in our completely transformed house the following August. Bill Milia’s building team (with Tom’s continuing involvement) delivered on Tom and Annie’s promises. We are absolutely delighted with the results. Not only did we repair our roof and replace our fireplace, but we added vertical space, trading a sweet, somewhat dark, cozy, but, by the end, non-functioning cottage into a bright, open, airy refuge – utterly transformed (including an en suite MBR, but somehow retaining its harmonious relationship with the landscape. Bill & Tom’s crew (and even the subs) were all great guys, totally enjoyable to have around. More importantly, of course, they did great work and got the job done. Tom and Bill’s billing practices are utterly transparent. Each monthly bill itemizes, and attaches, every invoice, so that you can see the costs, from boilers and windows literally down to screws and nails. Tom and Bill’s profit is a straight percentage, clearly calculated right there on the invoice. From Annie, Tom, and Bill, down to the last member of the crew to leave the project, everyone was committed to getting the job done, and done to our satisfaction. I don’t think you could find a more honest, committed, and responsible team if you searched far and wide.”
