Dependable Contracting Services, LLC has been an invaluable partner to H.O.P.E., Inc., consistently delivering beautiful, high-quality, and sustainable homes with future residents in mind. Praised for their premium craftsmanship—one inspector even calling their last build “perfect”—they work within narrow profit margins to keep housing affordable. Regularly donating materials and labor, they go above and beyond to support our mission. H.O.P.E. is proud to work with a contractor that builds not just homes, but stronger, more equitable communities.

For decades, Eddie Fedorshak has been a trusted partner to H.O.P.E., bringing skill, integrity, and heart to every project. His builds and remodels are exceptional, reflecting thoughtful consideration for the families who will call them home. Always brimming with innovative ideas for improvements, he is more than a contractor—he is a valued colleague who works at a bare minimum profit to ensure H.O.P.E. can continue helping those in need.

Peter Springsteel, Architect and H.O.P.E.’s Board President, generously donates his time and expertise to design all of H.O.P.E.’s builds pro bono. His coveted and highly respected designs marry beauty, sustainable quality materials, and a seamless fit within New London’s historic neighborhoods. Beyond H.O.P.E., Peter lends his skills to other nonprofits, supports community revitalization projects, and contributes to initiatives that preserve the city’s character while serving those in need. His work reflects not only exceptional architectural talent, but also a deep commitment to charitable service and the well-being of the community.
