CARPENTRY & BUILDING · VERMONT
Built for Vermont. Done right the first time.
From new homes and additions to full renovations, decks and stonework, we've been building in the Burlington area for 35 years. Licensed, insured, and we stand behind every job.
We show up when we say we will, keep the job site clean, and stand behind our work.
WHAT WE DO
If it's part of your house or your yard, we can build it.
Big job or small one, you get the same crew and the same care. Not sure if it's something we do?
Just call and ask.
Decks & Porches
Pressure-treated or composite, ground level or second story. Stairs, railings, built-in benches, and covered porches built to carry a snow load.
Additions
More room without moving. We frame, sheath, roof and close in additions and bump-outs, then finish them so they look like they were always there.
Renovations
Interior and exterior. Flooring, trim, skylights, siding, and all the surprises that turn up once the old stuff comes out.
New Builds
From the foundation up. We frame, sheath, roof and close in new homes, camps and outbuildings, built tight and solid for Vermont winters.
Stone Patios & Retaining Walls
Flagstone patios, stone steps and retaining walls, set on a proper base so the frost doesn't heave them come spring.
Carpentry
Framing, finish work, repairs and custom builds. The rotten sill, the sagging stairs, the shed you've been meaning to put up.
