Since 1975, Stamford-based Prutting + Co. Custom Builders has been respected for thoughtful attention to design intent, meticulous craftsmanship, and thorough personal service. Founder and CEO Dave Prutting and his very talented team approach every project as a collaboration - balancing architectural integrity with the realities and availabilities of modern building technologies. Dave and his team work closely with architects to help them achieve the full potential of their plans. Prutting’s portfolio, ranging from award-winning contemporary homes to historic restorations, reflects strong partnerships and rigorous attention to detail. Their goal, in collaboration with the architect, is to create a seamless transition for the client from design through construction. The result is homes that are well-built and work well and often make architectural statements.
Prutting & Company has worked with local and nationally prominent architects and have completed hundreds of distinctive, well-executed new construction and renovation projects over the past 50 years in Fairfield County, Westchester County, the Hudson Valley, and the Berkshires.
What sets Prutting apart isn’t just what they build, but how they build it. The firm is known for a hands-on, transparent process that guides homeowners from early concept through final walk-through. Clients are encouraged to be involved, informed, and to be inspired at every stage. Prutting’s approach begins long before construction starts. Each project begins with a thorough cost evaluation and review of options available to the client and architect. This emphasis on team approach shapes every phase of the process, from early planning through final execution, and importantly: the maintenance and support new homeowners need after moving in.
Walk through a Prutting home or a clean well-organized job site and you will likely be impressed. Proportions feel right. Materials feel substantial. Details feel intentional. This is craftsmanship that isn’t flashy, but quietly exceptional. Structural integrity, precise millwork, and thoughtfully selected materials form the backbone of each home.
Modern homeowners expect more from their spaces—and Prutting is fortunate to work with design teams that deliver, creating homes designed for flexibility, efficiency, and comfort. Open yet defined living areas, natural light, energy-conscious building practices, and smart-home readiness are thoughtfully integrated without sacrificing warmth or character.
Clear communication, practical guidance, and a great reputation earned from good business practices are central to Prutting’s success, particularly in a region where zoning, environmental considerations, and established neighborhoods often require careful navigation.
More than anything, their success is measured by the relationships it builds - clientswho return for second projects, sub-contractors who welcome working on their projects, neighbors who admire a finished home, and families who truly feel safe and at home in the spaces created for them. Much of the company’s work comes through referrals, a reflection of trust built over time – 50 years with no sign of slowing down.
