“I’ve been working with Jeff at Old Mill builders for about 30 years now. We work with a lot of builders, from the Rocky Mountains to New England, and Jeff is hands down the strongest builder we’ve ever worked with. Jeff is totally focused on all aspects of his work. He pays attention to detail, is always concerned about how he manages his client’s budgets, and turns out thoughtfully-designed, professional work that is entirely unique to the project and the marketplace. If you are looking for another home like the one next door and across the street, Jeff may not be your man. On the other hand, if you are looking for something unique, tailored to your lifestyle, your budget, and specifically to your site, then you should be talking to Jeff at Old Mill Builders. You won’t find a better builder, anywhere.”

“Jeff and his team built our pool house and barn, as well as a built-in unit in our living room. First off, Jeff and his team are major craftsmen. The level of detail in his work is fantastic. Jeff really understands the architecture of the Litchfield County area and he brought that aesthetic to us. He created plans, budgets and timelines that were very thoughtful and detailed. His budgets are very fair and clear. You always feel he is working with you on the cost of the projects. No surprises. Which is important when working with contractors. I also appreciate that he stands by his work, from the beginning of the project to the end….as well as years after. I have recommended him to three other clients and all have been equally pleased with him and his team. They all show the same level of respect. When Jeff is not present, his team completely understands the work and leads in the same respectful manner that Jeff would. Both Jeff and his team are always looking for the best solution, not the fastest. I would highly recommend him as I have with my friends.”

“I have worked with the company twice now. Once for a small renovation, and once for a major addition which doubled the size of our house. Jeff is very easy to work with, and very professional. After the major addition we did not have a single call-back. Really quite remarkable. I recommended him to a friend of mine who wanted to build a new house and he had the same experience. Jeff knows his stuff and insists on doing the job right.”

“We have hired Old Mill for several jobs, from a complex, but relatively small, basement finishing job, to whole buildings, and entire renovations. I have seldom worked with a builder who is so consistently on time and on budget. He also does quality work. Jeff has great taste and makes good recommendations on design choices like hardware and trim.”

“Old Mill Builders built us a great house in the Litchfield Hills. Jeff Yenter and his team did very high-quality work. They built our house from foundation to completion, in a surprisingly quick manner. Jeff’s experience and keen aesthetic judgement were crucial to our project, especially when we made design alterations during construction. One aspect of the process that was very important to us was smooth communication, and Jeff was constantly in touch. He was always available to meet on-site, and he accommodated our schedule. He gave us a lot of confidence right from the start, due to his patience and eagerness to answer all our questions, as well as his ability to clearly explain all the details of construction. We now have an incredibly beautiful custom home, and we hope to have Old Mill Builders back, to construct an outbuilding for us in the future. Jeff Yenter is a pleasure to work with— five stars are well deserved!”

“Jeff Yenter at Old Mill Builders completely remodeled and made several major additions to our home. The project totaled six thousand square feet and included four phases. It was a difficult project. The original structure was very old. We started with architectural plans. My very favorite thing that Jeff was able do was to adjust the plans as we went, based on what we wanted. He remodeled our kitchen, bathrooms, family room, living room and more. Old Mill Builders provided quality workmanship throughout the project. Some of my favorite things are my fireplaces and the beautiful woodwork throughout my home. Jeff is very easy-going, even when something was frustrating. We found him very fair and reliable.”

“Jeff and his crew are very professional and courteous! He is very experienced, and we feel that the pricing is fair. Something that we particularly liked: if there was a tricky situation, or a problem, he had the knowledge and experience to come up with strong solutions. Jeff is easy to work with, honest and the finished product is always top-notch! We whole heartedly recommend him.”

“Jeff runs a very professional and high-quality operation. They stand behind their work. He has first rate workmen and his quality is outstanding!”

“Please consider this the highest professional and personal reference for Jeff Yenter. Jeff manages our property – an older house, historic barn, pool house and lots of fences, pumps and more. We could not get by without him. He is highly skilled, diligent, and fair with his price. Jeff’s major project for us was the gutting and renovation of our historic barn, including an apartment, garage and stable. The work was done on time and on budget. It looks superb! He took it from a bat infested wreck, to a beautiful asset.
Add to that the fact that Jeff is a very hard worker and one of the nicest people you will ever meet.”

“We have been lucky enough to know Old Mill Builders and the founder, Jeff Yenter, for over eleven years. In that time, Old Mill has crafted a two-thousand square foot entertainment room from a dreary basement, has completely renovated a commercial office-space located in a one-hundred-year-old building, and has built a beautiful New England style barn (garage), and a very high-tech office that looks like a barn. In addition to that, they are always ready to help. They communicate fast and effectively. There’s really nobody like Old Mill Builders. Try them!”

“I have worked with Jeff Yenter and Old Mill Builders for many years. As a company, they are extremely capable, professional, and honest. Jeff is a thinker and a problem solver with a good aesthetic eye. He has an ability to think far ahead and anticipate issues well before they become problems. The project pictured below is only one of many, and I welcome any opportunity to personally provide my references for Jeff.”
Gary G.
“I have used Old Mill Builders on multiple occasions for both residential and commercial work. They have acted as general contractors supervising other trades. They also provided carpentry services. Every bit of work done by Old Mill has been of the highest quality and has been delivered on time and on budget. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly, especially for difficult jobs.”
Suzanne S.
“Our timber frame home was built by Old Mill Builders! It is a gorgeous home, nestled in the South Kent countryside. Every aspect of the home is professionally done by Jeff Yenter and his team. Please go to the website and view photos of his craft, from start to finish. You won’t find a better builder. He listens and builds your dream! People have told us that building a home is a nightmare, fraught with decisions, issues, permits etc. But not with Jeff and his team. It was a fun project from start to finish! Please give them a call for any add-on, barn, or update, if you aren’t in the market to build a new home!”

“Jeff Yenter and his team did a wonderful job building my home. We have been in the house almost five years now and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product. I would highly recommend Old Mill Builders to anyone looking to build a high-quality custom home.”
