About Caulkins Homes

Custom New Home Design + Build. All Under One Roof.

Caulkins Homes is a family-owned custom new home design-build company based in Waterford, Connecticut, led by husband-and-wife team Craig and Heather Caulkins. Together, we bring custom home design and construction, professional project management, interior design, and land and real estate expertise together all under one roof.

We do business differently.

We don’t sometimes design and build custom new homes — custom new homes are our specialty, and they are what we do.

With nearly four decades dedicated to designing and building custom homes, Craig brings an extraordinary depth of construction knowledge and hands-on experience to every project. Together, we have created a full-service, solution-centered approach designed to make the custom homebuilding process more organized, more personal, and less overwhelming for our clients.

Our philosophy is simple: We create the home YOU want, right where YOU want it.

From evaluating and acquiring land to designing your home, navigating the details, managing construction, making interior selections, and bringing the finished vision together, our clients have one experienced team guiding the process from beginning to end.

That continuity matters.

Custom homebuilding involves hundreds of decisions, moving parts, schedules, professionals, and unexpected challenges. Our role is not simply to build the house. It is to manage the entire process, anticipate challenges, communicate clearly, find solutions, and keep your project moving forward.

Personal Service. Professional Project Management.

Our business is an important part of our life. It is how we take care of our family, support our team, and contribute to the communities where we live and build.

That makes every project personal to us.

Every interaction is an opportunity to elevate our clients’ experience, and every home we build is a reflection of our reputation. We believe exceptional homes are created through a combination of experience, thoughtful design, quality construction, strong project management, clear communication, and genuine relationships.

Our goal is not simply to meet expectations. It is to exceed them.

We take the time to understand what our clients want, recognize the challenges unique to their property and project, and develop creative, practical solutions along the way. That philosophy is also why we intentionally provide a high level of personal attention throughout the custom homebuilding experience.

Your Vision. Our Experience. One Team.

Building a custom home should feel exciting!

By bringing design, construction, project management, interior design, and land expertise together, Caulkins Homes provides clients with a coordinated team and a single point of guidance throughout the process.

Whether you already own the perfect property or are just beginning to explore where and what to build, we would love to hear your vision.

We look forward to getting to know you, understanding what home means to your family, and helping bring that vision to life.
