EC Trethewey Building Contractors, Inc.

We are in the middle of a restoration and new build project with Trethewey builders. The team has been knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy from day one as well as being a pleasure to work with.

Ted and his masterful team of construction wizards collaborated with my architects and me to build the kitchen of my dreams. The project also included a new mudroom with laundry and bathroom complete with a dog shower. Attention to detail, a brilliant superintendent (Dominic was awesome!) and a bevy of true artisans combined to make it possible for me to say I actually miss my team and can't wait to start another project with them. Highly recommend!

E.C. Trethewey is a great building contractor with excellent communication skill, competitive pricing with the skill and experience to deliver a beautiful finished product and is always focused on a positive client relationship.

Tretheway worked with us on our historical restoration "Willistown Project". It was a great experience, which is not typical. They worked nicely with our architect and our interior designer. They were patient with us through all of our changes. They still come back after four years to help maintain their "baby". I would highly recommend them to anyone. Quality people and quality work, guaranteed.

Ted Trethewey and his team conducted a whole home renovation for us - from beginning to end, he and his entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Ted provided very valuable advice along the way, addressed our goals and concerns thoroughly and ensured that things were done the RIGHT way - not necessarily the ‘easy’ way. The end results are spectacular. We would highly recommend them and would work with them again without hesitation.

We have had the pleasure of working with EC Trethewey on several projects over the years and have been consistently impressed with their level of professionalism and quality of work. Ted and his team are perfectionists when it comes to their craft, and we can rest assured knowing that they will get the job done right. They typically exceed their clients’ expectations as well as our own. We are always pleased with how easily the lines of communication between Trethewey, client, and architect flow which helps to alleviate a great deal of stress and uncertainty during the construction process. We highly recommend EC Trethaway Building Contractors.

Despite being a family with very young children, we decided we could not wait to renovate and build an addition to our 1700's stone and brick farmhouse. This was our first time taking on a building project, and it was very important to us that we respect the house and do it right. Upon meeting Ted from EC Trethewey Inc., we knew we had found our building contractor. Ted's enthusiasm and love of old houses is contagious. We felt right from the start that he understood old houses and he was full of excellent ideas, both creative and practical. He was able to find the perfect reclaimed beams for our kitchen ceiling and fireplace mantle that reflect an existing beam in our family room. The beauty of the chestnut slab he found for our kitchen island is above and beyond my expectations. Every single one of his employees consistently reflected Ted's positive, "make it work" attitude. Their work ethic and attention to detail was impressive. They worked seamlessly with our architect and were a pleasure to work with. Ted communicated clearly with us as he worked with our budget, and was transparent throughout the process. Many of the people Ted brought on to the project also far exceeded our expectations. Our kitchen cabinets and built-ins are beautiful and impeccably crafted. The stone masons were able to restore our old exterior stone to a level of beauty we didn't think was possible, and then they were able to perfectly match it for our addition. We are absolutely in love with our new old house! We would highly recommend Team Trethewey!

I have used this company and it's owner for numerous projects over the last fifteen years-from small jobs to two renovations costing $300,000 plus to a new residential construction costing more than $2,000,000. I would give the owner, company, and employees five stars for integrity, knowledge of all trades, timely construction, and deportment on the job. I would strongly recommend the company and employees for any residential or commercial projects.

Ted and his entire team were outstanding to work with. We had a large old house to completely renovate; they did major restorative construction, and oversaw many subcontractors as well. What was a first-time major project for us, was made so much easier by working with such consummate professionals and perfectionists. Our budget was generally respected, however rose substantially only because we greatly expanded the scope of the project as we went since we were so comfortable with the crew and oversight. Problems, which anyone doing an old house renovation will run into, were always solved with a clear calm path forward, and the results are spectacular. We get comments regularly about the quality of the work, and would give Ted and his team our highest recommendation. For instance, one such issue was that we broke through two walls on either side of a huge granite fireplace to create a walk-through into the next room. Ted suggested he source 100 yr-old oak beams, cut to size, and frame the door jams to match existing beams in the first room, as a transition. They are spectacular, and no one has thought they were anything but original to the house. If we had another project in the future, we would never consider using any other builder.

We have had the pleasure of working with Ted and his skilled group of craftsmen at EC Trethewey on numerous projects for over a decade. He is passionate about his work and brings a high level of professionalism to each project. Ted communicates well with his clients, brings tremendous value to the process, and is a joy to work with. EC Trethewey is a five star organization!

My husband and I purchased a circa 1870 carriage barn that was in complete disrepair. The goal was to return it to its prior grandeur while making a stunning residence and equestrian facility for our horses. This was an extensive and complex project of coping with an existing, historical structure and all the challenges that creates, while making sure all modern ammenities were included. The structure was completely gutted, however, care was taken in demolition to keep artifcacts to be used in completion. Our contractor shared our vision and passion to include historic touches throughout the project - and they even offered their own creativity along the way. It was truly a joint effort. The completed project exceeded our expectations and it has been such a wonderful place to call home for us and our horses, and to entertain with family and friends.
