Plumbing and HVAC Superintendent
Jeff Duncan
Jeff enjoys working in the field and the hands-on tasks of plumbing, heating, generators, and AC. “Every day is different. I really like the challenge of figuring things out. For example, service calls, you just don’t know what you’ll run into.”
Jeff has two children, one has graduated from college and is working in Boston, and another is still in college. “I work a lot, but I like to fish with my son on our neighbor’s pond.” He also tries to spend time with his wife, who likes to travel, on day trips to Maine, Boston, Mystic, Newport, etc. “Maine is special to us. We used to go to the coast around Ogunquit a lot before we had kids.” Fun fact: “When I was younger, I loved black cars. I had a lot, such as a Corvette convertible when I was 19 years old. I wish I kept at least one.”
Licensed Plumber
Kolton Dehler
Kolton goes on service calls to correct issues like basement leaks, installs Mitsubishi mini-splits, and much more. He likes problem solving—for customers. On one recent call, he assisted a single, older woman with no heat on a cold autumn day. “I was able to get her heat back on and help her. That’s the most satisfactory part of my job.”
Kolton enjoys freshwater fishing in his kayak. He catches bass, trout, and likes fly fishing as well. His prize keeper was a 9.5-pound rainbow trout. He says Gorham, NH, a quiet town near Mount Washington, where he camps annually with his family, is a perfect place to fish, with rivers everywhere. Kolton’s favorite food is pizza (thin crust!). He also loves heavy metal music, target shooting, and hunting. He says people tell him he’s a good shot, but in his mind there’s always room for improvement.
Already a licensed plumber in Connecticut, Kolton is also currently serving as an HVAC apprentice.

Tyler Kennen
Tyler Kennen is an HVAC and plumbing apprentice at Woodstock Building Associates. He assists with a variety of installation and service projects, gaining hands-on experience. Tyler enjoys the variety—from installing mini-split systems to working on bathrooms. “I like that we do
something different every day,” he says.
Tyler grew up around his family’s multi-generation farm in Spencer, MA. While the farm once operated as a dairy, today it produces hay. Tyler helps haying fields, loading square bales onto a truck his Grandpa drives. He likes spending time outdoors on the property, riding four-wheelers for fun.
Outside of work, Tyler also enjoys freshwater fishing (a three-pound bass is his big catch to date). He likes spending time with family and friends--going out to eat for his favorite, thin-crust pizza.
Fun fact: Tyler is distantly related to the famous American frontiersman Buffalo Bill.
