About us

History and Philosophy
Glen Hochstetter founded Hammersmith Inc. in 1980 with the goal of building the highest quality, custom, passive solar and energy efficient homes. The philosophy, which holds true today, is to execute projects to the highest standards possible.

This philosophy has lead the company through 29 years of constructing elegant, creative projects and achieving exceptional customer satisfaction.

Our Mission
Hammersmith’s mission is to offer clients the most positive construction experience available in Litchfield and northern Fairfield County Connecticut. This is achieved by providing the highest degree of professionalism by our company, our suppliers and subcontractors, along with expert craftsmanship, clear communication, creativity, and transparent job cost accounting.

The end result is a home or addition where the quality of the completed job far exceeds our customers’ expectations. Hammersmith fosters a positive working relationship with clients that can last for many years.

Our clients continue to call Hammersmith, Inc. for future work, repairs, and maintenance as they come to trust our integrity. Our clients consistently recommend our services to others. Satisfied clients are our best advertisers.

Integrity
Since Hammersmith’s incorporation in 1980, we have built custom homes for a diverse list of clients with the highest integrity possible. We believe in the importance of integrity behind the walls, as well as the expert craftsmanship we provide on the surfaces of our finished spaces. This also holds true in our relationships with our clients and architects.

We believe that open, honest, clear dialogue is critical between all parties and enables projects to meet timetables, budgets and to navigate the challenges that arise

 

Flexibility
Hammersmith, Inc. focuses on custom, residential, projects. We have achieved great success with many styles and sizes of new construction, period home renovations and additions. See our Project Portfolio for some samples. Hammersmith excels on conceptually, mechanically, and design challenging projects. We enjoy putting our 30 years of experience to work on jobs that fall “outside of the box.”

Longevity
We strive to build longevity into the work we do by using high quality materials, paying attention to details, and practicing patience in the building process. We also pay close attention to our customers, their questions and ideas, and work to build long lasting relationships with our clients, architects, and trade associates.

Building is a process. For us it is an artful process. We deliver the finest product available.
