Michael J. Nadeau Carpentry LLC
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 January 2015
“Wonderful experience--Mike Nadeau is a talented and creative designer and builder with a super team who are courteous, thorough and highly skilled. He is very willing to be available and visited the project site regularly, often pitching in to do some of the work himself. He uses a first rate team of associates including carpenters, structural engineers, electricians, excavators, painters and HVAC personnel and manages to coordinate their arrivals and departures like a smoothly running broadway show with no wasted time or delays. They did a major renovation including building a large add-on family room, a new kitchen, wrap-around deck, portico and repair of a substantial amount of rotted siding and trim as well as correcting the prior work of others which needed redoing. We used him gladly for subsequent projects and would do it again any time. Absolutely first rate!!!!”
Debra Geller Interior Design
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2016
“I have worked with Debra Geller both for my own home and on multiple multi-family buildings my family operates. She decorated our home, she helped design a 3,000 s/f furnished basement build out, she helped rebuild 4 building lobbies after Superstorm Sandy. She is professional, responsive, and has an attention to detail that eliminates problems before they arise. Her ability to identify a customer’s tastes, illustrate it in a way they can imagine it, they execute all while coming in on budget and on time is second to none. Can’t recommend her services enough.”
Common Vision
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 August 2013
“Common Vision did a major addition to my small house, designing and building the perfect space for my tiny lot, matching existing moldings and trims, listening to my wants and desires, with professional staff, fine materials, excellent workmanship and pleasant communications. It came in on time and on budget. And they stand behind their work, making repairs long after the project was completed. I continue to be delighted with my new sunroom, bath and home office.”
Harvest Building Company
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 December 2014
“Harvest Building Company converted one bay of our three-car garage into an entry room and the entire second floor into an office and guest bedroom and full bathroom. One of the unique features was the dividing wall between the bedroom/office/sitting room spaces. The wall was a bookshelf, which had a center panel, which rotated (they figured out that the mechanism for a windmill would allow the panel to rotate 360 degrees in both directions). While one side contained a bookshelf, the other side had a plain wall so that we could mount a TV on it, thus, allowing the TV to be viewed in the sitting area or in the bedroom. Their tile work, carpentry and sheetrock work was some of the best that I have seen. I really enjoyed working with them, not only because of their meticulous, high quality workmanship, but also, because they really loved and took great pride in their work.”
New Fresh Homes, LLC
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 May 2017
“Very happy with work done in 2013 on second floor of house built in the early 1900's. Crew was respectful of the property and the fact that we lived in the house while under construction. We decided to rehire M L Murdy in 2017 for kitchen and living room remodel. Design plans are impressive, and utilization of space is maximized. Team is responsive to customer's needs, and communication is easy. We highly recommend this company!”

Michael Davis Design & Construction
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 April 2017
“Michael Davis Construction is absolutely the best team that I have worked with so far in my experience as an interior designer. Amy's team kept the job site organized and clean. They were always ready for us to join them on site - providing a quick and thorough walk-through each time. They have done an immaculate job on the Sagaponack project, addressing all of the client's requests in a timely manner. They are widely known throughout the Hamptons because of their dedication, professionalism, and quality craftsmanship. I highly recommend them!”
Vital Habitats
Design & Construction Firms in Essex, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 February 2016
“As an architect I have worked with Vital Habitats on a variety of projects including renovations, additions and new houses. They are true professionals that make the process less stressful and enjoyable. Detailed pricing is provided before construction begins giving the architect and client an opportunity to make changes to adjust the design if necessary. Their expertise allows them to give insightful suggestions regarding construction details, wall assemblies, insulation, materials, etc. They are a team of talented individuals possessing great communication and management skills. Vital Habitats provides a superb service which brings the project, no matter the size, on time and on budget. I highly recommend them, you will be well cared for.”

What does an Essex, CT design and construction company do?


When building or renovating in Essex, CT, people often turn to architects to kick off their project. However, a different model is becoming more popular with homeowners: design and construction, also known as design-build. Instead of hiring and dividing tasks between various professionals – e.g. architects, builders and carpenters – you can hire a design and construction firm to cover your entire project, from the initial sketches through to construction.

Companies that can carry out both design and construction take on the combined responsibilities of an architect, draftsman, construction company and additional contractors, providing one point of contact for homeowners. Having one entity responsible for the entire design and build, from estimation to subcontracting and even post-construction, streamlines and often speeds up the project significantly. Having a unified project team can also help you avoid unforeseen costs and delays in construction. In addition, the homeowner only has to interpret one contract with the design and construction firm, and not with various architectural design and contracting professionals. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want.
