Are estimates really free?

What is the customer portal?
Every Pondside project comes with a secure online portal: a live progress tracker our team updates at each milestone, your designs, estimates and signed contracts in one place, a way to share photos from any device, and messages straight to your designer. Your login arrives by email when your project begins.
Where is your showroom and what are your hours?
We are in the white house at 202 Main Street, Deep River, CT 06417 — Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We are closed Saturday and Sunday. Call (860) 526-9567 and we will make sure a designer is free when you come in.

Yes — Essex, Old Saybrook, Chester and Centerbrook are minutes from the showroom and make up a big part of our work, along with Westbrook, Clinton, Killingworth, Old Lyme, East Lyme, Niantic, Guilford, Madison, Haddam, East Haddam, Middletown and Durham.
Are you a family-owned business?
Yes. Karen and Stephen Bradley founded Pondside in 2004 and still run it day to day, with a small team you will actually meet: our design team, Stacey Dady and Sara Decker, and our two Portuguese Water Dogs, Cinder and Mariner, on greeting duty.
