Haydenville Woodworking and Design, Inc. is a well-established firm offering comprehensive construction services. The business was started over 30 years ago in a small out building turned into a shop behind the founder’s home. It quickly expanded from those meager beginnings to a construction company based in South Deerfield, MA. Two longstanding employees purchased HWD from the founder in April 2017.

We are a small owner operated company, I Keith Kapusta, am onsite everyday doing the work myself, which keeps the quality high and price low. I'm also one of only a handful of registered professionals with Trex Decking. This means if I build your deck Trex itself backs my work with a 25 year warranty. You can see more information about this at Trex.com. I'm also licensed in CT and MA. My business is proud to hold an unrestricted license in MA. It is the highest license one can earn in this trade. This license puts me ahead of most builders in CT. That is because in CT there is not a test or any requirements to get a contractors license. It is as simple as sending the state a fee of $220.00 and they send you a license, allowing just about anyone at all to be a contractor in CT. In MA they require at least 3 years of on the job experience and a 5 hour test. I'm also licensed and fully insured and refuse to every let a client of mine be anything other then 100 percent thrilled with the work. I love what I do and it shows in my work.

"Keith did a great job helping us obtain the building permit, explaining the decking options, and designing the deck. The deck completely covers old concrete steps and makes entrance into our home much easier. Keith used Trex material for the deck, which is maintenance free; he negotiated a good deal with the supplier for the color which closely matched our other deck. He suggested a local electrician for us to consult about lights along the stairs. Keith communicated with us in a timely basis and we always knew his schedule. We would not hesitate to hire Keith again for another project."

"Class General Contracting has done roofing and construction work on our over 100 year old house, and each time their price has been fair and the quality and service have been excellent. Recently we thought we saw a shingle missing from the roof and called them. They returned our call immediately and came over. We really felt foolish when it turned out to be a shadow, but Brian said no charge. Brian honors his warranties and his word."

1981 years of experience

Colonial Restorations is a father/son company. We use no subcontractors so at least one of us is always on site. Since 1981, Colonial Restorations has provided structural restoration and repair of historic timber frame buildings. A family business, Tom and Brad Green perform all work themselves in order to make sure that your historic timber frame project receives all the experience and commitment it requires.

"Barn Rescue – My barn was hit by a vehicle, which broke a large post and pushed section of siding out from under the roofline, plus major damage at ground level. Brad shored it up for the winter with an array of jacks and an enormous chain to ensure the thing wouldn’t fall down till they could return in the spring. Come spring, they fully replaced the damaged section’s support members and facade, and added bracing to the attic, rendering it stronger than before. Foundation support: The sagging beams and jerry-rigged support columns in the dirt basement of our 18th century house were inadequate. They dug and poured a dozen footings and lally columns, supporting a line of new 6x6 and 9x9 beams that provide solid support to the house above. They showed up promptly every day, worked fast, and left the site clean and finished. Both Brad and Chad have a deep knowledge about old houses and the techniques that were used, and I felt my historic register property was in good hands."

For more than 20 years, Jon Longo has served Western Ma. He has built strong client relationships by exceeding expectations and providing unmatchable accountability. "We believe quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, intelligent direction, and skillful execution. Homes are where memories are made, therefore it is our honor to give you our best! Our goal is to create lifelong clients and help each client make good choices. We do this simply by designing and building each project as if it were our own. We answer all questions in detail and give a solid plan, taking future projects into consideration. Big or small, we streamline the construction process with flawlessly organized project planning and an actual time-line that you can count on!

"I can’t recommend John Longo and Legacy One Construction highly enough! John, the owner, is one of the most honest and reliable professionals you’ll ever meet. When John provides a quote, you can trust it will be fair and accurate. Legacy One Construction replaced 10 windows in the side porch of our 1927 home—a challenge, considering how nothing in a house that old is perfectly square or level. John and his crew were meticulous, ensuring the windows fit perfectly and met our expectations. When I mistakenly chose the wrong type of window, John went above and beyond by advocating for me with the supplier to secure a discounted replacement. That level of service was extraordinary, especially since the error was entirely mine. If you're looking for a contractor you can trust to do quality work and stand by their word, look no further than Legacy One Construction. John and his team are fantastic!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. 

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Any straightforward rectangular home layout is more uncomplicated than custom rooms, additions, or stylistic features. In stock plans, single-story ranch homes, cape cods, and colonials are common. Layouts with a single roof ridge are easier to build than those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or ridges.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.
