get in touch
Jamie Dungfelder is the Owner & Founder of Artisan Wolf LLC. Driven by a lifelong passion for building and an unwavering work ethic, he serves as founder and lead craftsman, providing high-end masonry, site work, general construction, remodeling, and renovations across Vermont and Connecticut. Born and raised in the small town of Hebron, Connecticut, his path into construction began early. Raised by a devoted single mother, he learned the value of hard work, honesty, and resilience from a young age by helping out around the house. Hands-on projects quickly turned into a masterclass in fundamentals—carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and masonry—laying the literal and figurative foundation for the business he runs today. His mother taught him to dream big, set clear goals, and never give up, instilling a core belief that has guided his life and career: "If you can believe it, you can achieve it."
Now 40 years old, Jamie spent most of his life in Connecticut before moving seven years ago to Danby, Vermont, where he continues to expand his craft and business. Fully licensed and insured in both Connecticut and Vermont, he brings decades of practical experience, attention to detail, and a deep respect for durable, high-quality craftsmanship to every project—from natural stone masonry and custom hardscapes to complex structural builds.
