BACKGROUND

The name Grew has been around in the design and construction industry since the mid-1960's when Milton Grew, Sr. started his own design business in Waterbury, CT and later in Watertown, CT and New Brunswick, Canada. His son, Milton Gregory Grew (Greg) worked with his father, then with other firms in Waterbury, Stratford and Meriden, CT. Rather quickly Greg was given managerial responsibilities in both the design and business aspects of these practices. GREW DESIGN INCORPORATED was originally started in 1989 as a sole proprietorship in Greg Grew's home office. Gradually the business evolved into a firm with a clientele and workload that demanded greater organization and professionalism. We were incorporated in 1998 and leased office space in the Middle Quarter business district of Woodbury, CT. In November 2005, the firm moved down the street into our own building, one of the typical old houses in the Woodbury Historic District and listed on the National Register.

GREW CONSTRUCTION, LLC was established to provide general building construction services for clients who desire to have us build the projects that are designed for them by Grew Design, Inc. We have been general contractor for new homes, home additions and remodeling projects.
