“Like a big hug.” “A sanctuary.” “Shelter from the storm.” “Even my mom approves.” Just some of the feedback we’ve heard from our homeowners over the years.
I left NYC after 9/11 and fortunately discovered Sullivan County in 2001. The first job I landed in Sullivan County was fixing up the barns on the property of Alexis Rockman, the painter. I finished that job only with the help of some young Polish hitchhikers who were spending the summer in the area.
Soon, we began designing and building farmhouses, and now we dabble in a wide range of early American architecture including Barns, Craftsmans, Cottages, and even American Modern.
Owning an old home with authentic fixtures, original wood floors and detailing that simply needs a little TLC is an all-American dream; however, finding one of those “dream” homes is nearly impossible. The truth is, as Catskill area new old home builders, we have rescued many families from the “this old house” renovation daydream, saving many a savings account and maybe even some relationships.
As a Sullivan County builder and contractor, it is my goal is to create a house that echoes the past. Using a delicate mixture of salvaged and new materials, I provide families with a brand new 100 year old house in the Catskills area surrounded by majestic mountains. While we capture the charm, beauty and character of the early 1900s, we eliminate all the hassles and maintenance related to an old house.
A Sullivan County country home is a great idea. It’s a fresh start, a good investment and most importantly, a fantastic way of life.
It has been said that we are the only home builders in Upstate New York, who truly understand the dream of owning a country home with elements that reflect a simpler time and place.
