Colonized by Puritans from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 17th century, Connecticut is one of the original New England colonies and one of the oldest century, Connecticut is one of the original states in the country. A rich and colorful history and diverse cultural heritage are evident throughout the state, and are cherished and carefully preserved by proud “Nutmeggers”. From the prosperous agricultural activity of colonial days and the bustling manufacturing period of the Industrial Revolution to the collection of diverse and exciting communities of contemporary Connecticut, the state has continually flourished. Solid Yankee root and sensibilities, a strong dedication to the growth and development of Connecticut and its people, and a constant eye on the future have combined over the centuries to make Connecticut a thriving and highly desirable place to live, work and play!
Set in the southern tip of New England, Connecticut boasts some of the most breathtaking and varied terrain on the East Coast -a quality much appreciated and greatly enjoyed by residents both as a source of beautiful living space and as fertile ground for a full spectrum of outdoor pleasures.

Professional versus do-it-yourself
There are three main approaches to managing a home improvement project: hiring a general contractor, directly hiring specialized contractors, or doing the work oneself.
A general contractor oversees a home improvement project that involves multiple trades. A general contractor acts as project manager, providing access to the site, removing debris, coordinating work schedules, and performing some aspects of the work.
35% of homeowners, according to the Remodeling Sentiment Report bypass the general contractor, and hire tradesmen themselves, including plumbers, electricians and roofers.
Another strategy is to "do it yourself" (DIY). 67% of homeowners report they will do some work themselves when they remodel according to the Remodeling Sentiment Report. Several major American retailers, such as Home Depot and Lowes, specialize in selling materials and tools for DIY home improvement. These stores host classes and carry numerous books to teach customers how to do the work themselves. DIY websites also provide information.
Playing a critical role are the professional associations created to represent the architects, architectural technologists, interior designers and skilled trades that provide specialized services to homeowners. These associations provide credibility, trade guidelines and useful information to help homeowners learn more about the trades they are about to hire.[citation needed]
Associations include:
Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario
The American Institute of Architects
