Having grown up learning the construction tradefrom parents Bruce and Sharon Bellamy, Greg and BrianBellamy’s decision to enter the family business was notonly a right of passage but a decision inspired by a trueappreciation for building. The Scotia-based business,B.W. Bellamy & Sons Construction, now BellamyConstruction, was started in 1975.

Today the company that started out solely as aremodeling firm has grown into a business that offers adiverse range of services including excavation,trenchless technology, custom homes, remodeling andgeneral home improvement. Much like the husband andwife team that founded Bellamy Construction, teamBellamy has grown to include Greg and Brian’s wives,Katie and Tanya along with approximately 24 otheremployees.

Bellamy Construction’s reputation of being family-owned and providing superior customer service is whathas made them one of the area’s most trustedconstruction companies for more than 30 years.Remodeling Magazine inducted Bellamy to itsRemodeling Big50 for impact on community,professionalism, integrity and taking the lead in raisingthe industry standards.

One of the company’s greatest strengths — besidesextraordinary craftsmanship — is to offer its clientele asingle point of contact, i.e., working one-on-one withhomeowners through the process of zoning, buildingpermits, design, product selection and construction.

Earl B Feiden Inc. was founded in 1926 in Latham, New York. The Feidenfamily is a local pioneer in the appliance business. Our business has evolvedfrom an ice farm and coal business of the early 1900s. Ice was sawed fromthe family pond and stored in an ice house awaiting delivery to local homesfor use in their ice box. The farm was located on Watervliet-Shaker Road inLatham where the original house still stands. Our current location on Route 9at the Latham Circle was constructed in 1947 to accommodate the growingdemand for electric appliances and radios.

In 1986, as our family business continued to grow, we opened a secondlocation in historic Kingston, NewYork to serve the Mid-Hudson Valley region.The addition of this location enabled our business to attract customersthroughout the entire Hudson Valley including the Adirondack Region, easternNew York and western New England.

Earl B Feiden Inc. is a full-service appliance store that offers sales,service, delivery and custom installation by a factory trained and authorizedstaff. We carry over 50 brands of appliances ranging from all the traditionalbrands to state of the art professional equipment. Some brands are availableexclusively at Earl B. Feiden Inc. Our company prides itself on the ability tooffer customers the pricing of a big box store with the service our generationsof customers have come to expect.

Today, our business is proudly celebrating its 84th anniversary. TheFeiden family continues to own and operate our business with the samededication to customer service our company was founded on.
