Alan Dinsmoor Contracting Services has been operating in Connecticut since 1982, making it one of the longer-established general contracting businesses in the Middlebury area, with more than 40 years of continuous operation. The company is fully licensed (HIC.0565334) and insured, and holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, serving both residential and commercial customers across Connecticut as well as southeastern New York State.
Owner Alan Dinsmoor personally leads every project on-site, a hands-on approach the company describes as central to how it ensures consistent quality — rather than delegating project oversight to separate site managers, the owner whose name is on the business is directly involved in the execution of each job. The company brands itself as “Quality Finish Tradesmen,” reflecting a dedication to traditional craftsmanship blended with modern tools and techniques to deliver strong results at accessible pricing.
Custom cabinetry is a particular specialty — the company builds and installs custom wood cabinetry for kitchens and bathrooms, along with cabinet refacing, custom cabinet doors, and tile artistry. This cabinetry and tile focus, paired with general contracting capability, allows Alan Dinsmoor Contracting to handle a kitchen or bathroom remodel from framing through the finished cabinetry and tile work without bringing in separate specialty subcontractors for those trades.
Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, the company’s service list covers additions and renovations, basement finishing, windows, roofing, siding, painting, custom trim, gas fireplace inserts, and fireplace mantels — an “all-in-one” approach in which plumbing and electrical work needed for a remodel is coordinated by the same team rather than requiring homeowners to separately source and schedule those trades. Financing options, including promotional 0% APR terms for qualifying projects, help make larger renovations more accessible.
Customer reviews consistently highlight Alan’s direct involvement, clear communication throughout the design and material selection process, and reasonable pricing without unexpected additional charges. For homeowners in the Middlebury, Waterbury, and greater Connecticut area seeking a general contractor with more than four decades of hands-on experience and particular strength in custom cabinetry and tile work, Alan Dinsmoor Contracting Services offers an owner-led relationship backed by a long local track record.
