Do you really run all four services in-house?

Yes. Excavation runs on our own machines (excavators, dozers, dump trucks). Building runs on our own framing crew under our license. Welding runs in our own in-house shop and mobile rig. Equine work is the same crews doing barn-specific work. We don't subcontract the core trades — that's the whole point of how we run.

What's the advantage of one contractor for excavation and the build?

Schedule, liability, and accountability. Single contract means no finger-pointing if the foundation cut runs late and the framing crew shows up to a wet hole. Single insurance certificate. Single number to call. We stage our own crews — excavation team finishes the foundation Friday, framing team is on site Monday.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Roberts Construction holds a Connecticut New Home Construction Contractor license (NHC.0014110) issued by the Department of Consumer Protection. We carry general liability and workers' compensation on every job. License and insurance details are available on request.

What's your service area?

Eastern Connecticut (Sterling, Plainfield, Brooklyn, Killingly, Putnam, Norwich, Willimantic, Lisbon, Canterbury, Griswold), western Rhode Island (Coventry, Foster, Glocester, Scituate, West Greenwich), and parts of central Massachusetts. We have 15 town-specific pages with the geology, permits, and conditions we know about each.

How do you quote a project?

Site walk first, always. No quote-day guessing. We come out, look at the lot, talk through what you're trying to do, and put a real number together based on actual conditions — soil, access, scope, permit complexity. Free estimates, no commitment.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. Building permits, NDDH septic permits (eastern CT), RIDEM permits (western RI), inland wetlands review, CT DOT and RIDOT right-of-way work, and Historic District Commission coordination where applicable. We don't make you chase the town hall.

Why four services, one company

Most contractors run one. We run four because the jobs ask for it.

A foundation needs excavation. A garage needs framing. A barn needs welded stall fronts. A retaining wall needs steel anchors. These are different trades, but they're the same job — and on too many sites in eastern Connecticut they get handed off to four different contractors who have never been to the lot together.

Roberts Construction runs all four lines in-house: excavation on our own machines, building under our own license, welding in our own shop, equine work as a specialty inside the build line. One contract, one crew, one schedule.

The other reason: we know eastern Connecticut. Granite ledge in Sterling. Glacial till and bottomland silts in Plainfield. NPU coordination in Norwich. Mill-era foundations in Willimantic and Putnam. We've been on these roads for two decades — the geology and the permitting we already know.

What we run

Four service lines, all in-house, all under one contract.

Excavation Services

Foundations, septic, drainage, retaining walls, site prep, land clearing. Two decades on eastern Connecticut till, ledge, and bottomland. 37 sub-service pages with the specific scope of work we run.

· 37 distinct excavation scopes
· NDDH-permitted OWTS (eastern CT)
· Ledge work and rock removal
· Inland wetlands coordination

Building & Construction

Foundation-up new builds, additions, garages, decks, siding. Single contract from site walk to certificate of occupancy. We hold the contract, our crews are on the site, the trades work to our schedule.

· Custom homes, foundation-up
· Additions and second-story adds
· Garages, decks, siding
· Connecticut NHC.0014110 licensed

Custom Welding

Structural steel, ornamental ironwork, equine stall fab, equipment repair. In-house shop plus mobile rig. The welder doesn't subcontract — we own the welding so cross-trade work runs on our schedule.

· MIG, TIG, and stick welding
· Structural steel for builds
· Ornamental gates, railings, fences
· Equine stall fronts and hardware

Equine Facilities

Horse barns, indoor and outdoor arenas, run-in sheds, paddock infrastructure. Two decades of barn work means we know ventilation, footing, and the NDDH wash-stall septic. Stall fab welded in-house.

· 2 to 20+ stall barns
· Indoor arenas to 100+ ft clear span
· Run-in sheds and paddock infra
· In-house welded stall fronts

How we actually work

The same operating playbook on every job, regardless of service line.

Site walk first

No quote-day guessing. We come to the lot, look at conditions, and put a real number together. Free estimates.

Permits in our lane

Building permits, NDDH septic, inland wetlands, CT/RI DOT right-of-way, historic district review. We handle the paperwork.

One contract, one crew

Cross-trade work runs on our schedule, not a subcontractor's queue. Same insurance, same accountability.

Local geology, local permitting

Two decades on eastern CT till, ledge, and bottomland. We know what the lot is going to do before we break ground.

We're still the number after the job

Punch lists, warranty calls, one-year follow-ups. The crew that built it is the crew that owns it.

Family-run since 2003

Owner-operated, eastern-CT-based, two-decades-deep on the local network. The people who answer the phone are the people running the job.
