Did you hear the one about...?

Did you hear the one about the little design and build company that started with nothing, made it's mark in Sullivan County designing and building new cottages and farmhouses, and then to just really tempt fate and push the envelope and try our luck we expanded into Woodstock and Saugerties two hours away, where we know so little about the area that we have to use gps to get to the grocery store? And have no team in place to help us get 'er done? And then selling our first two homes, worth over $820k, before the sheetrock was even up, without the help of any real estate company? In the middle of a nasty accelerating recession? And still building homes in less than 6 months?

Farmhouse 17. Insulation starts today.

Cottage 37 - Sheetrock starts today.

Spray foam insulation means one thing - our homes use typically half the heat other homes do. So be it low heat alarms, security systems, spray foam insulation, on demand hot water heaters, high efficiency gas boilers or a design collaboration and customization that is more or less 'on the house' - we have the best interest of our customers in mind, all the time.
