Jared McBrearty is a Connecticut native and has lived in central Connecticut for most of his life. He started working at the age of 11, doing odd jobs and working on a farm picking vegetables during the summer.

At 16, he got into construction, starting with concrete work. He worked his way up to foreman and later took on supervisor roles at several other companies. In 2011, he started his first business focused on concrete construction. Since work was often slow during the winter, he began doing interior renovations with a close friend, who later became a co-owner of A1 Home Improvement.

Over the past 15 years, he has gradually shifted more into home renovation and property investments—specifically house flips, where they buy, renovate, and sell properties. He officially joined A1 Home Improvement in 2022. Since then, they've grown the company’s revenue by approximately 4 to 5 times. They've also expanded and strengthened their roofing, siding, and window divisions.

Jared McBriarty has contributed across various areas—from marketing and sales to improving installation techniques and procedures. He enjoys mentoring others and helping them grow not just in their careers but in life as well. He's an avid reader and would choose a good book over watching TV any day.

Last year, they launched A1 Solar, and the company has quickly become a trusted solar contractor in Connecticut. They’re bringing decades of home improvement and construction experience into this new venture, along with solar industry veterans who each bring over 10 years of experience to the team.

He has an 11-year-old son, and they enjoy playing soccer together. His son also spends a lot of time around the office and on job sites with him.

Outside of work, Jared stays involved in his community. He’s a member of a local parish and the Knights of Columbus. He also participates in charity work with hospitals and institutions, helping individuals who are struggling with addiction.
