Paul Leger of Lee & Sons Woodworkers, Inc. in Andover, CT

I have been working wood since 1961 when I was 14 years old, except for the two years I spent with Uncle Sam. When I came back, I worked a few years installing finished stairs for a stair company, and then framed homes as a sub-contractor. I built approximately 25 homes, including the finish trim. Then I got involved with a large renovation on a historical home that took two years.

I always had a crew of 2 to 5 employees. Eventually I built a shop and started doing kitchens, casework, trim, custom windows and doors, entertainment centers and custom furniture for interior designers, architects, homeowners, along with occasional historical projects. Because my woodworking shop is on my property, my three sons were always hanging around making their own projects.

Here I am, all these years later, still working wood with my sons. I have passed on to them the same philosophy my dad instilled in me. “Do it better today than you did it yesterday. Cut no corners and take pride in your work. But most of all, care for what you do.”

If it involves wood, we can build it for you!
