CARPENTRY & BUILDING · VERMONT

Built for Vermont. Done right the first time.

We're a small local crew building decks, porches, additions, stone patios and retaining walls, and taking on renovations inside and out.

We show up when we say we will, keep the job site clean, and stand behind our work.

A person walking up stairs to a raised wooden porch under construction with a partly built roof, surrounded by building materials, in a backyard with a grassy lawn and trees, under a clear blue sky.

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.

Newly built wooden deck extension with steps attached to the back of a house with green siding and white trim, next to a white door with a window.

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.

House under construction with green exterior siding and a steep roof, situated on a grassy area with trees.

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.

An unfinished room with new wood flooring, white walls, multiple windows, and skylights in the ceiling.

Renovations

Interior and exterior. Flooring, trim, skylights, siding, and all the surprises that turn up once the old stuff comes out.

A partially finished stone pathway in a backyard with construction tools and materials nearby, next to a house with stairs and a potted plant.

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.

Construction site with wooden framing and insulation, partially built wall structure, and exterior view through windows showing trees.

Carpentry

Framing, finish work, repairs and custom builds. The rotten sill, the sagging stairs, the shed you've been meaning to put up.

RECENT WORK

Real jobs, from framing to finish.
