Our Story
A Tradition of Quality
Founded in 1980 by John Cappello, our family-owned company began with a simple but powerful vision: to build homes with care, precision, and lasting quality. Over the years, John’s dedication and expertise were passed down to his son, the current owner, who continues the tradition of hands-on craftsmanship and personal attention to every project. Today, John Cappello and Sons stands as a trusted name in Litchfield County, Connecticut, known for exceptional custom homes and residential renovations.
