Kitchen, Bath & Flooring Remodeling in Old Lyme, CT
Old Lyme is a short drive from our showroom, straight down the shoreline from Haddam. We work throughout the town as a general contractor - kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and whole-home remodels - with one point of contact from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Working With Old Lyme's Older Homes
A lot of Old Lyme's housing stock has real age behind it, and that changes how a remodel has to be approached. Plaster walls, settled framing and subfloors that are no longer level are normal here, not exceptions. None of it is a problem, but it does mean the measuring and the prep matter more than they would in a house built in the last twenty years.
It also affects what you can put down. A wide-plank solid hardwood that looks perfect in a showroom can telegraph every dip in an old subfloor. Engineered hardwood, or a floor prep step before the finish material goes in, is often the honest answer. We would rather tell you that at the estimate than after the install.
Where a house has period detail worth keeping, we work to it. Matching trim profiles, keeping a stair rail, working new cabinetry around an existing fireplace - that is design work, and it is why the designer sits down with you before anything is ordered.

Choosing Materials for the Shoreline
Old Lyme sits on the water, and coastal air is hard on materials. Humidity swings move solid wood, and a bathroom or mudroom near the shore takes more moisture than the same room inland. For those spaces we usually steer people toward porcelain tile or waterproof luxury vinyl rather than laminate - not because it costs more, but because it lasts here.
The advantage of a home center behind the contractor is that you are not choosing from a brochure. Every material we would put in a Old Lyme home is on the floor in Haddam, in the size you would actually install, and our designer is there to talk through what each one does in a coastal house.
One Company, Start to Finish
Most remodeling headaches are coordination problems, not building problems - the tile arrives late, the electrician and the installer both show up Tuesday, and nobody is answering for it. Running the job ourselves is how that gets avoided.
We are a family business, and the same people you meet at the estimate are the ones on the job. Meet the family → or read what our customers say →.
