05 / About — Sheet D

A shop on Thompson Street, drafting the shoreline.

W.S. Building & Remodeling is a residential construction practice based in West Haven, Connecticut. We work for families who want their house to be good to them for the next thirty years — not the next three.

D.01

What we are.

A licensed Connecticut contractor (HIC.0642697), family-run, with a shop in West Haven and work spanning the shoreline, valley, and coast. We draft every project on paper first — layouts, dimensions, finishes, electrical runs — and build to that drawing. We hold our own trades accountable and we sign every room we finish.

We don’t chase volume. We take the projects we can do well, and we turn the rest down or refer them on. It’s a small list of clients per year. Most of them are referrals from the last list.

D.02

What we believe.

  • Draft first. The pencil is cheaper than the saw. We sketch, measure, and dry-lay before we commit.
  • Permit everything. If it needs a permit, it gets one. This protects the house on the title.
  • Finish the edges. Miters, reveals, caulk lines, and trim returns are where craft lives.
  • Clean every day. Dust protection, daily sweep, contained haul-out. Your house stays livable.
  • Write it down. Scope sheets, punch lists, change orders, warranty. All in writing, always.
