We are pleased to make this valuable resource* available, sharing information as it has been reported. Feedback, corrections, and additions are welcome and necessary. All listings have been shared by Lyme residents or are Lyme residents. With Covid disruptions, uncertainties, and labor shortages, the list isn’t as current as it often has been. All input is helpful! CCL updates the list as a community service, and we do not endorse any particular contractors or services. A printable version will be updated periodically. For additions or corrections, contact us.

*The Lyme Contractor and Service Providers listing that is the basis of this directory was initiated by former Lyme neighbor, Jess Lahey. For years, she updated and shared the listing, based on listserv posts about individuals and local businesses serving Lyme residents. Thank you, Jess!
