West Mountain Builders is a Washington general contractor whose Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, number HIC.0602781, is active on the state registry under the holder WEST MOUNTAIN BUILDERS INC. On its Houzz profile, the company says it was started in 1976 by Walter Johnson III and taken over by his son, Eliot Johnson, in 2002. A 2026 customer said the company put a mud room, a laundry area in the basement and a new master bathroom into their home, and called Eliot and Stephanie responsive and informative. A 2025 customer wrote that they had hired Eliot and his crew multiple times for building and large remodelling projects. A 2025 client wrote that they were working with the firm on a renovation project in Washington, CT. A 2015 Houzz customer described a kitchen remodel that created a vaulted ceiling and added a powder room, with cabinetry made and hand painted in the company's own shop. That 2015 customer said a temporary kitchen was built for them in the dining room during the three-month project. A 2015 reviewer wrote that the company built an addition to their 18th century house, turned a barn into an apartment, and installed new roofing and new windows. A 2015 reviewer described a total remodel of their Bridgewater home with Eliot Johnson in 2011 that came in on budget and on time. A 2022 Google customer said he built their home and their neighbors' home, and that at the closing he demanded $50,000 in cash before they could get the keys, without having told them they owed any money.
Put a mud room, laundry area (in my basement) and a new master bathroom into my home. Eliot and Stephanie were responsive, informative, and just all around amazing people. There is a reason they win Best Builder in Litchfield year after year. Highly recommend.
I have hired Eliot and his crew multiple times to work on different building and large remodelling projects. They are a GREAT company to work with. Superb attention to detail. Great crew members. Responsive. WMB is the kind of building company you hope you'll be able to work with again in the future. They're the real deal.
WMB is a great firm to collaborate with. They are patience, professional and sensitive to good design. We are currently working with them on a renovation project in Washington, CT. We have established a very good relationship with Eliot and his team. Highly recommend them!
Built our Home and our neighbors home. He did not tell us that we owed any money at all and at the closing he demanded $50,000 in cash so we can get the keys to our house. He did the same kind of thing to the neighbor next-door and I’ve heard that he’s done it in other places. Certainly not to be trusted or used.
West Mountain Builders are an excellent construction company. They are very responsive and cooperative. Eliot and Stephanie are incredibly easy to work with. They are responsive, efficient and deliver projects both on budget and on time. Eliot is a pragmatic problem solver, he does not see problems as many contractors do, he looks for alternatives and solutions and always does his best to help the owner and architect achieve the design intent on budget. Eliot is a very easy contractor to work with. He only uses reliable and high quality sub contractors with good track records to execute designs to the quality that owners and architects expect.
