About Patrick Cotton

At The Cotton Group, we don’t just build homes — we build with long-term vision, structural integrity, and a relentless focus on quality. Whether it’s a full-scale remodel, custom new build, or thoughtfully planned 55+ community, our goal is to deliver work that lasts — in both form and function — while making the process straightforward and well-communicated from start to finish.As Owner & Managing Director, I oversee all aspects of our projects across the Seacoast of New Hampshire and Southern Maine. What sets us apart isn’t just craftsmanship — it’s how we operate: responsive, detail-oriented, and grounded in trust.Before founding The Cotton Group, I worked in financial technology, operations, and production logistics, helping push forward key systems and internal functions in fast-moving environments. That experience now shapes how I manage budgets, timelines, teams, and client relationships in the field.I earned a dual degree in Finance and Management from the University of New Hampshire while playing Division 1 football — an experience that built my mindset around discipline, execution, and adaptability.At the end of the day, our work speaks for itself — but it’s our process that keeps people coming back.
