Family-run, eastern-CT-based, two decades on the local roads.

Frequently asked

What people ask before they hire us.

Who actually runs Roberts Construction?

DJ Roberts and his son Trevor Roberts. DJ has 28+ years in construction; Trevor came up through the trades and runs alongside him today. When you call the company, you're talking to one of them — there's no answering service or call-center layer between the owner and the crew on the site.

Where are you based?

Sterling, Connecticut — eastern CT, on the Rhode Island line. Our service area is most of eastern Connecticut, western Rhode Island, and parts of central Massachusetts. We have 15 town-specific pages with the geology, permits, and conditions we know about each.

Are you licensed in Connecticut?

Yes. Roberts Construction holds Connecticut New Home Construction Contractor license NHC.0014110, issued by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. We carry general liability and workers' compensation on every job.

Why family-run rather than a bigger contractor?

Two reasons. First, we want the crew on the site to be people we know — that's hard to maintain at scale. Second, every job has one owner-level person making the decisions, which means accountability is clear when something goes sideways. The work and the relationships compound when nobody's playing telephone.

What kind of clients do you work with?

Homeowners, farmers, horse-farm operators, small commercial property owners, and other contractors who need excavation, building, welding, or equine facility work. About 70% residential, 20% agricultural/equine, 10% small commercial. We don't chase work outside our service area or outside our crews' capability.
