Experience
Matters

We are a leader in the Connecticut New Home Construction industry! We believe in old fashion values, a hard work ethic and quality craftsmanship. For over 50 years, the Carrier name and reputation have been trusted by thousands of satisfied homeowners. Together, the Carrier family offers the best home value in today’s economy!

Locally Owned & Operated

Do not be surprised if you find a Carrier family member living in your community, or if you bump into one at the local market. All By Carrier offices are local! Visit any new home site and you’re likely to find a family member carefully watching over the entire construction process.

Customer
Service

Our customer-focused approach allows us to better accommodate every homeowner’s needs. An important factor that differentiates us from other builders is our commitment to satisfying your every need, from the point of purchase and beyond.

Quality
 

The quality of construction is apparent from the ground up. From 2 x 6 exterior walls, engineered lumber and steel beams, you will see quality like no other. Every By Carrier home features up-to-date technology, careful construction practices and top-of-the-line building materials.

Industry-Leading
Five-Year Warranty

In addition to the Statutory Warranty provided in Connecticut with new home construction as well as manufacturer’s warranties, By Carrier offers an Industry-Leading Extended Five-Year Warranty on structural defects, roof leaks and water in the basement. This warranty is also transferable to any new homeowners within the five-year period.

Energy
Efficiency

By Carrier homes are built in compliance with Connecticut’s new energy conscious building codes. Additionally, advanced heating and cooling systems, improved windows and insulation techniques significantly reduce energy costs. By Carrier homes consume nearly half of the energy of today’s code built homes and one-third to one-quarter less than a home built prior to 1980. By Carrier homes consistently score a Five Star Plus on the HERS Index with an average score of 50, placing the efficiency of our homes above that of an Energy Star Qualified Home at a HERS Index reading of only 85. Energy efficiency is at the heart of the building process, rather than an afterthought. Energy efficient and green building materials are integrated starting at the foundation.

Design
Flexibility

By Carrier has improved room flow and design to accommodate the way we live today and satisfy the demand for open floor plans. More windows, open spaces, closets and storage areas, numerous bathrooms and larger kitchens and garages help to create a sanctuary for everyone in the family to enjoy. By Carrier offers customers the opportunity to meet with a design specialist to custom design a home that exceeds expectations.

Simplified
Financing

By Carrier has experienced “preferred lenders” who make financing a breeze. Many times, upgrades such as landscaping or even swimming pools can be wrapped up and packaged into a single mortgage, making qualifying for a loan and home appraisal simple! By Carrier works with qualified preferred lenders to offer Connecticut buyers as many options as possible when purchasing their new home.

Availability

By Carrier has Quick Delivery Homes available at various stages of completion to meet your needs. Inquire about availability.

Location

By Carrier is currently building in sought after Connecticut towns, including Farmington, East Lyme, Plainville, Cromwell, Southington and Burlington, and always expanding.

Association

Customer Testimonials

Heather and I would like to thank you. Our home is beautiful and we cannot say enough about the entire building process. I have to say that when we began the project I had my trepidations. My experience has always been that no one will look out for my interest quite like myself. For that reason, I came by the house almost every day to see the progress. Very quickly you, and your extremely dedicated and loyal crew, put my worries to rest. It was reassuring for me to see just how much time you spent on the job personally overseeing the build. I observed a business that from top to bottom saw quality as essential to longevity in home building. You, your family, and your team must be so proud of what you’ve created.
Thank You,

Blake & Heather Bevier

Chuck and I want to thank you and your entire staff for building our home. Prior to this house we had two homes built and this one was by far the best experience! We enjoyed working with you. With your guidance and suggestions we have a home that is attractive, functional, practical and charming. we never felt pushed into doing more than what we wanted. Our home is so beautiful and so comfortable to live in. I really love my kitchen! From the moment we drove through Samuel’s Crossing and noticed the quality of the homes that were built we knew we had made the right decision to build here. We are proud to tell people our home was built by Carrier. We look forward to many years enjoying our home,the surroundings and neighbors at Samuel’s Crossing.
Sincerely,

Chuck and Cheryl Poppel

Our new home is everything we wanted and expected. We have had numerous compliments in the house, everyone who comes in comments on the various details (high ceilings, woodwork, beautiful windows, etc.). The workmanship is exceptional and it is obvious as you work with Carrier that everyone takes pride in their work.

Mike & Carol

My wife, Sheila, and I are finally settled in our new home in Essex, Connecticut, a development built by your family. Surprisingly and not usually an expected enjoyable experience the entire process has been smooth and, dare I say, satisfying. Promises were kept and follow ups conducted in a timely manner. Carrier proved to be a quality contractor delivering an excellent product. As a 45 year veteran architect, I should be expected to know one or two things about construction and dealing with contractors. The Carrier family is a cohesive group with professional integrity as a rule of thumb.
Thank you for a job well done!

Sheila & Sam Gavis
