History

Joseph Malcarne comes from a lineage of talented craftsmen. Ever been to Gillette’s Castle in East Haddam, CT? If not, it is a great place to visit. The point is, Joseph’s great-grandfather was responsible for the amazing woodworking in this castle that was once owned by William Gillette. It has some very intriguing carved door latches and locks! At the young age of 13, Joseph had the skill and determination to accomplish almost any project; he built railroad tie walls, brick walks and driveways, stone patios and more. Before long, he managed the projects himself and directed a team of workers several years his senior. Joseph opened Malcarne Contracting on April 26th, 1996. Starting with renovation projects, the company grew to handle increasingly complex projects, including all phases of renovation, additions, gut rehabs, modulars, and new construction. Today, Malcarne Contracting is one of the largest construction companies in the Hudson Valley. Joseph loves working with people and infuses Malcarne Contracting with a work ethic that is tried and true and is what we now think of as “old-fashioned values”. We are the way it used to be… but better!

I know a good company when I see one since I work in commercial buildings and have outfitted a dozen offices for them over the past few years. When things started to be completed when and how they had promised to be completed a few months earlier, we knew we had hired a really good contractor. They replaced our furnace with a high efficiency heat pump, insulated our home, erected a new roof, replaced all of our windows, and installed Hardie siding. They were professional, and the end product would look fantastic. It was convenient to be able to do everything with a single business. Many thanks, Malcarne!

My heat pump and thermostat were just fixed by a service technician who visited my house. I was satisfied with the technician's professionalism and competence as soon as he arrived. He found the problem right away and fixed it effectively. He replaced my thermostat with a new one after noticing that the old one wasn't working properly. The whole process was finished fairly quickly. I value the technician's openness; he answered all of my inquiries and detailed every step of the repair procedure. The staff's ability to promptly set up an appointment was another example of their exceptional customer service!

Malcarne HVAC is the company I trust for my heating and air conditioning needs. They are experienced, professional and reliable. I was having some problems with my geothermal. I must have called everyone and nobody wanted to help me. I spoke with Malcarne and they were kind and knowledgeable and acted like they actually cared. They were prompt and very efficient which I appreciated. They were able to figure out the problems and get them taken care of asap.

I can't say enough about the guys at Malcarne. I had them install a heat pump and I was worried thinking about what I would do in the cold months without it! They showed up on time, were very professional and finished when they planned to and they were really nice guys. These were people that you wouldn’t mind having over for dinner, real quality people.

I had my furnace repaired last week and I was extremely impressed with the level of service I received. The technician arrived on time and was very professional and knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed the issue and explained everything to me in detail, including the different options for repairs. The repair itself was completed with high quality workmanship and I could tell the tech really cared about what he was doing. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the furnace repair services I received and would highly recommend this company to others. In addition, the cost of the repair was very reasonable, especially considering the high level of service I received. I have already recommended this company to friends and family, and will definitely be using them again in the future for any of my HVAC needs

I had a heat pump break down in my home, and Malcarne Contracting saved me by coming out and fixing it right away. I didn't have to worry about what caused the problem, or how to fix it myself. They arrived when they said they would, and everything was fixed quickly
