Wilson Handicap Ramp

The owner fell and needed to quickly convert his home to be handicap accessible. Permits were pulled in advance of doctors appointments and we worked with the head building official in Manchester to ensure the permits were active and ready for this quick weekend job. Our goal was to have the ramp completed on Sunday afternoon in advance of a Monday appointment (client’s) – which we did. Summary: converted the front steps into a handicap accessible...

HydroAir Heating and Cooling System

Attic installation of HydroAir heating and cooling system. All new duct work installed. Did all electrical, duct work, and piping. This system moves high volumes of air at low velocity – which is the key to an effecient heating and cooling system. These systems can be installed in basements or attics and work equally well.

Bolton Three Tier Deck

This new composite Trex deck replaced an old wood deck that was in need of replacement. Three tier deck. We replaced and reinforced all carrying beams with a minimum size of 6×6 – all pressure treated set on concrete piers. This was done to handle the extra weight of the composite deckign boards and the hot tub. The deck was made with red cedar colored Trex and brown accents on the steps and edging around the pool. Solar lights were added to the stair risers and tops of the railings as an added effect. The deck was also built around several trees – which add a nice custom feel to the deck in addition to extra shade. We also built the cutouts to accomocate tree growth in the...

Bolton Basement Renovation

The basement previously had a water problem in the basement. A perimeter drain was added around the perimeter of the basement cut into the basement floor along three sides of the house. Also – because the house was built into a grade a french drain was added outside along the foundation over 30 feet long. Together, these solved the drainage problem and allowed for a nice finished recreation room in the basement free from water problems. This was a previously unfinished basement done in 2009 in Bolton. A tile entry was added along with wood floors and a half bath with laundry room was...

Boiler Replacement

This boiler replacement was an oil to gas replacement with new Crown boiler system. The owner was previously paying $500/mo in oil bills – in a 2000 square foot house. The previous boiler system was outdated in terms of effeciency and was maintaining temperatures 24hrs a day – and created very high fuel usage. The new natural gas system was installed to replace the previous boiler and indirect water heater. The client’s average monthly gas bill ran under $100 off peak to ~$160 during peak months. The end result was 55% annual fuel savings and a payback of the new installation in under 3 years. The Crown boiler has an outdoor reset which allows the boiler to adjust to outdoor ambient temperatures. It also has an outdoor venting system to further increase...

2006 New Construction Modular Home

This new home was built in Manchester in 2006. It’s a modular home that measures 53 feet long with an additional 24 foot garage built and added on site. In its place there was a much older and quite rundown home. It had not been maintained well. Thankfully we work with Advanced Deconstruction for the demolition side of things. We’ve worked with them for some time and know that they are very experienced, and as such very safe, clean and effective. They are easy to work around because they meet their due dates. Having worked together before we are able to discuss the job ahead of time so that they will not overdo it with some wiring or plumbing that could set us back. It’s good that we are able to coordinate like that. There are a lot of cowboys in the business but they have always been very reputable. Once they were done with their part of the job, it was time for us to begin. The home was built for three elderly clients and we added a 12×14 deck off the back by the dining area. Central air and heating was installed (high efficiency gas system). This is just one of the 14 new homes we’ve built over the past 30 years....

Manchester Front Porch

Prior to this renovation, the steps were concrete with no overhead roof – they were icy during winter and the owner fell! We replaced the concrete steps a week later with this new a new pressure treated porch – complete with vinyl rails, siding, and soffit.

We, along with the owner, were happy with the improvements – and the owner appreciated our speedy response to ensure no one else would be...

"Take care of your customers, and they will take care of you."

Since 1978 that's been our motto - whether the work is remodeling, plumbing, or handicap/ADA.

ADA Assist

As we all get closer to the golden years, we realize how easy it is to become dependent on others due to injury or illness. We give our customers the attention they deserve. We will install a ramp or a shower base to replace that high step to the tub or just some simple grab bars to help you achive the little things that can be taken for granted.

We realize the growing need for ADA handicap accessibility and are capable of providing/building ramps, bathroom renovations, and hand-rails. Bathroom renovations include removal of existing fixtures and providing a complete handicap accessible bathroom. Our ADA work also includes anti-scald shower heads, adjustable shower heads, grab bars, and toilets to confortable height with pull down hand rail.

Plumbing and Heating

Early on we started as a plumber employed in a maintenance department in Hartford wherein a wide variety of experiences set us up to repair all aspects of plumbing. This work was not limited to plumbing as we did very intricate steam heating installations and continued in the heating field utilizing high efficency products.

We have installed thousands of boilers including brands such as Buderas, Crown and Burnham; furnaces including American Standard, Carrier, Rudd and Trane; and hot water heaters including Crown Mega Store and Buderas Indirects.

Plumbing fixtures installed include Kohler, American Standard, Moen, Delta, and Grohe faucets. We only use the best products and purchase all products from local supply houses to ensure quality.
