Questions for a Contractorby Eva Amurri, August 19, 2019

“… Since renovating our historic, Westport home with [The O’Dell Group] has been such a great experience I thought it would be a nice opportunity to give them a shoutout…but also to put Chris O’Dell to work answering some of your questions… Chris grew up in Westport and started his company in 2013, and it’s made a name for itself pretty quickly.  He really knows the area, and the best engineers and craftsman around here, and his clients definitely reap the benefits.  We’ve been renovating with them since December 2018, and I’ve found the transparency in their process to be very refreshing, and the work to be extremely high quality.  I also just have to toot my own horn for a second and tell you (if you know him personally, then you already know) that to get Chris O’Dell to pose for a photo of any kind is no small feat.  I somehow managed that for the purposes of this blog post, so clearly he doesn’t hate me either.  Ha!”
