For over 150 years, one of Westport's most philanthropic families has also been one of its most enduring energy, stone and real estate development businesses. Gault prides itself on being an "energy partner"​ to its home heating, propane, electricity, generator, air conditioning and service customers, educating and serving the wide-ranging energy needs of homeowners throughout Fairfield County. The company has also operated a stone and masonry supplies business for nearly a hundred years, which today includes trade and consumer showrooms in Westport and Bethel. The company showcases its stone heritage and expertise across its many real estate developments, including Saugatuck Center, the crown jewel of its real estate portfolio. In 2016, the company re-branded itself as Gault Family Companies, bringing its three core competencies – Energy & Home Solutions, Stone & Landscape Supplies, and Properties & Development -- under a single corporate umbrella for the very first time. A major corporate milestone for the company, Gault Family Companies is a testament to the Gault family’s commitment to fulfilling the needs of the many Fairfield County communities it serves.
