Founded in 2009, C.I.D. brings a strong portfolio of commercial framing, drywall, and insulation services delivered across four states — New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont. The company has grown its reputation through long-standing partnerships and high-quality craftsmanship, backed by a skilled team with multi-generation trade expertise.

The acquisition builds on Wall Works’ investment in Optimum, the company’s established operational hub in New England, enhancing service capacity for general contractors and commercial builders as the region experiences significant development in healthcare, institutional, and commercial sectors.

C.I.D. founder Mario Boutin emphasized that joining Wall Works ensures continued growth while preserving the company’s long-held values:

“We’re excited to join the Wall Works family,” said Mario Boutin, founder of C.I.D. Construction. “With Wall Works’ and Optimum’s support, we can continue growing while maintaining the craftsmanship, integrity, and customer focus that have driven our success for more than two decades.”
