Kitchen, Bathroom & Window Remodeling in Colchester, CT
Magee Homes is a family-owned remodeling contractor based in East Hampton, the next town west of Colchester on Route 16. That makes Colchester one of the closest places we work. When you hire us for a kitchen remodel, a bathroom remodel, or replacement windows and doors, the crew showing up each morning is coming from a few miles away, not from the far side of Hartford.
We keep our work focused on three things and do them well: kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and window and door replacement. Every Colchester project starts with a free in-home consultation, and we prepare and submit the building permit through the town’s online permitting portal so the process stays simple on your end.

Colchester’s housing tells the story of the town. Around the Green, Main Street, and Hayward Avenue, the Colchester Village Historic District holds homes from the 1700s and 1800s, built by hand with framing and window openings that rarely match a modern stock size. Remodeling these houses well means measuring every opening, respecting the original proportions, and choosing windows, doors, and trim that look like they have always been there.
Most of the town, though, was built later. Colchester more than doubled in population between 1950 and 1980, then nearly doubled again by 2000 as families settled along the Route 2 and Route 85 corridors and out in Westchester and North Westchester. That left a large stock of capes, ranches, raised ranches, and colonials that are now due for their first real update: single-pane or early double-pane windows, hollow-core doors, a kitchen walled off from the living space, and a primary bathroom that was small to begin with. Those are the projects we see most often here, and we plan each one around the house rather than a template.
Colchester’s neighbors are our neighbors too. East Hampton, our home base, is the next town west along Route 16, and East Haddam shares Colchester’s southern line, so the crew on your project is never far from another job we know well. Consultations here are easy to schedule.
How Your Colchester Remodel Comes Together
In-Home Consultation
We come to your Colchester home, walk the space with you, take measurements, and talk through what you want to change and why. It is free, and there is no pressure to decide anything on the spot.
Design & Material Selections
Layout comes first, then the selections: cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures, windows, doors, and hardware. We help you choose finishes that suit the age and style of your house as well as your taste.
Construction & Installation
Our own crew handles demolition, carpentry, tile, and installation, with licensed electricians and plumbers coordinated where the work calls for it. We submit the permit through Colchester’s online portal, protect the rest of the house, and schedule the town’s inspections as the work progresses.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished project with you room by room, take care of any touch-ups, and consider the job done only when you are satisfied.

Colchester Remodeling Questions
Questions we hear from Colchester homeowners planning a kitchen, bathroom, or window project. Do not see yours? Ask us directly.
Yes. We take on projects throughout Colchester, including the village center, Westchester, North Westchester, and the neighborhoods along Routes 2, 16, and 85. We are based in East Hampton, the next town west, so no part of Colchester is far for us.
Usually, yes. Any project that moves plumbing, adds or relocates wiring, or changes structure requires a building permit, and the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work each carry their own permits. Colchester accepts residential permit applications only through its online portal. We prepare and submit the application for you and schedule the required inspections.
Yes. Homes in the historic district and other older houses in town rarely have standard openings, so we measure each one and order windows sized to fit. We match grille patterns, trim profiles, and exterior colors to the house so the result looks original while performing like a modern window.
Yes. Magee Homes is a registered Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor (HIC.0671935) and carries full liability insurance. We will share our credentials and a written contract before any work begins.
More than swapping the sash. On a raised ranch of that era the original single-pane or early double-pane units usually leak air around the frame, not just through the glass, so we pull each unit, check the rough opening, and flash, seal, and insulate before the new window goes in. Done house-wide, that is what actually stops the drafts. Our guide to choosing replacement windows in Connecticut covers the options.
