Veteran owned and operated · Old Saybrook, CT · Free estimates
Carpentry, home repairs, outdoor work and assembly along the Connecticut shoreline. Over 20 years of it, run by Eric Hupfer out of Old Saybrook.
How a list gets handled
No quoting by photograph, no call centre, no crew you have never met. This is how a job actually runs here.
Send the list
Most people call about one job and mention four more once someone is standing there. Send all of it at once instead. A list gets planned as a sequence, which is nearly always cheaper and less disruptive than calling someone out four separate times.
Get it priced
The estimate is free and it comes before anything starts. On assembly and the smaller jobs you can often have it back the same business day. The person who prices the job is the person who turns up to do it.
Work it down
Over 20 years of experience across carpentry, bathrooms, fencing and assembly means most of a household list is one trade, one visit, one bill. Each item is finished and cleaned up before the next one starts.
The list
What comes off the list
The work splits into four groups. Each one has its own pages with the detail, the failure modes worth knowing about, and what happens after we leave.
Item 01
Crown molding coped into out-of-square corners, wainscoting set to a height that looks original to the house, shelving built to a span that will not sag, closets measured around what you actually own.
Crown molding and trim details
Bathrooms, tile and glassSmall projects through to complete remodels. Tile diagnosed before it is replaced, shower doors measured before glass is ordered, vanities and mirrors fitted to the rough-in that is already behind the wall.Bathroom remodelAssembly and the small jobsFurniture for the house or the office, bikes sized to the child who rides them, swing sets and goals anchored properly, a TV mounted into something that will hold it. No job here is too small to book.Furniture assemblyDoors, fencing and outside the houseStorm and entry doors, fence runs set on posts that are going to stay put, gates hung square to the opening, decks refreshed, plus the pressure washing and gutter work that keeps the rest of it honest.Fence assemblyTwelve pages, grouped the way a house is actually worked on. If what you need is not written down here, it is still worth asking. Most of this trade is the jobs nobody thought to put on a website.
A storm door, Old Saybrook
A storm door damaged in the wind, measured, ordered and hung. It is a small job. It is also the kind of job that decides whether somebody calls you again about the bathroom, and it is the one photographed above.
“Eric is incredible! My mom lives in an old colonial home, and Eric has performed a variety of repair work over the last year. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and all of his work has been top notch. He has added a tremendous piece of mind for us knowing that we can rely on him to help maintain all the repairs on the property. I look forward to continuing to work with him.”
