Resume
Our Mission
Newhaven is dedicated to the highest standards of quality coupled with professional, collaborative services in building your project.
Taking a process that is inherently difficult with many moving parts, and effectively turning it into a rewarding partnership and experience for the owner.
This dedication encompasses high end construction, architecturally significant homes, and all things custom; be it a custom home to a custom porch, we specialize in it.
Long term relationships with our clients are our benchmark for success. The job is not complete because a "Punch List" has been finalized, but rather when the client trusts us to care for their home in the years to come.

Style
As builders, we love the art of taking something historical, then adding on to it in such a way one can’t tell where new house began and original house ended…equally difficult, building a new, custom home in a way that honors the style's history, yet appropriately bridges the materials and conveniences of today. Modern to Victorian, we are well versed.
