Remodeling in New Canaan

New Canaan has an unusually wide range of architecture for one town — 18th-century colonials on one street and glass-walled mid-century moderns on the next. Both need renovation approaches that respect what makes them worth living in.

In older homes that usually means structural work behind the scenes: sistering joists, correcting settled floors, and updating mechanicals without tearing out original plaster and trim. In mid-century homes it means keeping sight lines clean, working with existing post-and-beam structure, and detailing new work so it reads as intentional rather than added.

Custom carpentry is a big part of what we do here — built-in shelving, closet systems, kitchen cabinetry and trim profiles built to match what is already in the house.
