SWS Builders: A Team of Seasoned Professionals

“Over the years, I have worked with each of the SWS partners. Before starting any project they do their homework. They come in totally knowledgeable, it’s all detailed in their proposals, and most of all, they do it right.”

— Westport Homeowner

SWS Builders is a long-term partnership of three highly experienced building professionals. Gene Salvatore, Dave Williams, and Dick Steinschneider bring decades of hands-on custom building experience; together they supervise every aspect of a SWS project. Although SWS clients always deal directly with one of the company owners — from initial discussion through postconstruction warranty — they also receive the benefit of team expertise and problem solving.

Each partner is a life-long resident of Fairfield County and has developed a reputation for craftsmanship, attention to detail, and community involvement. SWS is equally proud of its support of volunteer and youth sports programs.
