Our Foundation

Founded in 1992, Associated Housewrights started as a team of three craftsmen experienced in the building trades, science, technology and business. In those early years, the three partners designed, specified, estimated and built each and every project themselves, focusing on restoration, remodeling and expansions for older homes in Madison’s well-established neighborhoods. As their reputation for creative design and skilled execution grew, so did the company. The partners added staff, centralized our offices and improved finishing capabilities.

New, enthusiastic staff mixed in with the ‘old guard’ have added vitality while adopting and carrying forward the Housewrights culture of a client-centered approach established during the last 25 years. The next 25 years look bright.

Problem Solvers, By Nature

At its core, creativity is about finding novel ways to solve problems. We view every project as a unique challenge and strive to arrive at the right solution on a case-by-case basis. There is no one design that will work for everyone, and that ethos comes through in the thoroughness of our design process. We take great responsibility when it comes to your project — not just in making all the pieces come together on time and on budget, but also make sure those pieces represent your vision, and your vision alone.
