Full Gut Renovations · New London County, CT

Full gut done right, studs to turnkey.

Some houses can't be fixed one room at a time. The wiring is old, the layout doesn't work, and every small job uncovers a bigger one. At that point a full gut is cheaper than ten remodels.

More than 100 major renovations since 2018, single projects managed up to $550,000. This is the specialty here, not the thing we take on when the schedule is thin.

Is It A Gut?

When a remodel stops making sense.

You don't need to know the answer before you call. But if more than a couple of these sound like your property, you're probably looking at a gut and not a refresh.

It Sat Empty

Vacant for years, and everything inside aged without anybody using it. We've taken back properties empty for eight and fifteen years.

The Systems Are Original

Old wiring, old plumbing, and a heating system nobody wants to put money into again. Once those come out, the walls are already open.

Every Job Finds Another

You opened one wall and found three more problems behind it. That's the point where piecemeal starts costing more than the whole thing.

The Layout Is Wrong

Rooms in the wrong places and no way to fix it without moving structure. Cosmetic work will not solve a floor plan.

It's An Investment Buy

Bought distressed and it has to come back turnkey to sell or rent. We do this on our own properties too.

You Inherited It

The house is yours, it needs everything, and you want one contractor and one number instead of six trades to manage.

What A Gut Covers

Everything comes out. Here is what goes back.

Nothing cosmetic about it. Every system, surface, and room gets replaced or rebuilt, and all of it is in the written number before we start.

01

Structure & Insulation

Down to the studs, new insulation, and fresh drywall throughout. Structural changes handled where the layout needs them.

02

Kitchen

New cabinets and countertops, appliances, sink and fixtures. Granite is standard on our own work.

03

Bathrooms

Fully tiled, re-plumbed and re-vented, new vanities and fixtures. Adding a bath is on the table if the layout supports it.

04

Flooring

New flooring in every room with matched transitions. LVP or hardwood depending on the property and how it will be used.

05

Systems

Updated electrical, re-plumbed throughout, and on-demand units for heat and hot water. We know these systems ourselves.

06

Finishes

Paint, trim, lighting, and interior doors. Basements brought back into use rather than left as dead square footage.

Why It Holds Up

We build it like we are keeping it.

Matt is an accredited investor who builds for private investors too. Every shortcut on your gut is one a lender or investor would catch and pay to redo in five years, which is why they do not get proposed in the first place.

Blueprints get read in house and EagleView aerial measurements get pulled before anybody gets in the truck. The mechanical, plumbing, and electrical side is ours too, so what is behind the wall is understood before it comes open instead of after.

Permits get pulled and inspections booked by us, not handed back to you as homework.

Service Area

Gut renovations across the county.

We work a thirty mile circle out of Gales Ferry, and that is on purpose. A gut is months, not days, and you want the crew running it to be twenty minutes out instead of two hours.

If something needs looking at in a year we are still here, and we are going to run into you at the hardware store either way.
