Our story
From our family to yours
Springs Home Improvement started in 2010 as CFar Enterprises, founded by Chuck and Debbie Farrington, as a part-time endeavor. However, as passion and demand for the business grew, Springs Home Improvement transformed into a full-time, thriving company focused on larger home remodeling projects, from bathrooms to kitchens.
Springs Home Improvement works with a wide range of homeowners — some know exactly what they want, others look for guidance to fix their pain points. Whatever your home remodeling needs, you can trust Springs Home Improvement to help you solve your problem and transform your home into something you love coming home to.
Chuck
Chief Problem Solver
Hometown: Gorham, ME
Chuck’s upbringing on a farm nurtured him in becoming a creative problem solver as well as years of experience in starting and running service-related businesses. Chuck is a certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler. Chuck’s dad was practical and loved working with his hands — if there was a problem, he would always find a way to fix it. These are the values that Chuck abides by today when working with each of his clients. Finding creative solutions to each homeowner’s pain points and helping them achieve their dream home is why he does what he does. He has a strong love and commitment to his family and could not be prouder of his two daughters, son-in-law, and two grandchildren — with hopefully more on the way!
