About Us
Experience, integrity, and a shared dedication to quality.
Founded by John Hand, Mill Hill Builders has become a trusted name across the East End – known for meticulous work, clear communication, and homes that last. What began as a small, hands-on operation has grown through referrals and reputation, one well-crafted home at a time.
Our team combines deep expertise with a personal touch. We pride ourselves on reliability, build quality, and care in every detail – values that have ensured our clients and trade partners come back to us time and again.
Born and raised in Wainscott, John founded Mill Hill Builders with a simple goal – to build homes that feel lasting, thoughtful, and true to the Hamptons. With thirteen generations of family history in East Hampton, his connection to this community runs deep, shaping every decision and detail on the job.
Prior to launching Mill Hill Builders, John mastered his trade over 20+ years, learning every facet of homebuilding – from framing and fine carpentry to design and project management. That hands-on experience across trades taught him the value of quality craftsmanship and honest, transparent collaboration with homeowners and partners alike.
Today, John leads a small, dedicated team specializing in custom homes, remodels, renovations, and additions that balance timeless Hamptons character with modern comfort. His approach is personal and meticulous – grounded in integrity, local knowledge, and a genuine pride in his work.
When he’s not on site, John spends time with his family, surfing local beaches, and finding inspiration in the landscape and architecture of the East End.
