Company History: Built on Integrity

"I Gotta Guy" started as a family and Veteran-owned operation. The founder, a Retired US Navy Seabee, has been in the home maintenance business for over 40 years. The name reflects the trusted, neighborly reputation they’ve built—the "guy" you call for honest help. Growth has been steady through word-of-mouth, without ever taking on a job too big or promising what can’t be delivered.

Leadership: Veteran Skill Meets Local Know-How

The owner brings extensive hands-on experience from military construction (Seabees) to civilian projects. Trained in cabinet making, carpentry, painting, masonry, and basic electrical and plumbing, he has built everything from houses and additions to heavy timber bridges. Now, he applies that skill to everyday home repairs in the Groton CT community. His local presence means he knows the area’s housing styles and common maintenance needs.
