“We can't recommend Peregrine Design Build enough. They built our home in North Hero, Vermont, and the whole experience was a genuine success from start to finish. What stood out most was the creativity they brought to the design process. We were hoping to create an heirloom house, something that stays in the family for generations, and Cliff, the main designer, really understood that vision. He listened closely to our ideas and then added his own creative touches that made the design even better than what we'd imagined. On the construction side, Chris led the build and was nothing short of amazing. The job site was always kept meticulously clean, and the quality of the finished home speaks for itself. What really impressed us was the attention to detail. The team consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done right. If you're looking for a design build team that combines real creativity with careful, high quality craftsmanship, we can't say enough good things about Peregrine. They gave us a home we're proud of and excited to pass down for years to come.”

“Building our forever home in Stowe, VT, has long been our family’s dream, and Andrew Volansky, Jon Severinghaus, and the Volansky Studio team helped bring that dream to life. Andrew partnered with us from the very start of our project when we purchased our lot and helped guide us through the whole experience. Andrew and Jon are easy to work with, extremely responsive, and always followed-through with whatever they promised. Several times in our design and build, Andrew demonstrated his integrity and trustworthiness. The entire process was very collaborative and the entire design always centered around our family's needs and lifestyle. Andrew visually captured our vision at every stage—from initial sketches, detailed blueprints, to the final construction documents. These detailed renderings made it easy to make decisions, brainstorm new ideas, and design a home we can't wait to live in with our daughter. Andrew also connected us with our builder – who was also great to work with - and that relationship only expanded the collaboration further. All-in-all the whole experience went very smoothly, even during the invariable twists-and-turns that happen in any home design & build. Andrew and Jon are both creative, problem solvers and we typically found solutions that were better than whatever the original idea was that we were working through. Volansky Studio perfectly executed the "Vermont Mountain Modern" style we wanted, creating a beautiful and entirely unique home. If you are lucky enough to work with Volansky Studio you won’t be disappointed. We have already recommended Volansky Studio to others and highly recommend them for any build or remodel.”

“It's been 6 months living with our new expanded kitchen and we are as thrilled as the day we moved back into the space. Overall the experience was better than expected for a multi-month renovation - communication was always clear, we felt in control of decision-making, and we knew that Lewis Creek were truly our partners in making the end result something we'd love. There are pros and cons listed below (no scenario, especially a large reno is without a few cons): Project scope: Bump out a 16' section of the front of our ranch house to expand the kitchen with a new layout; change the roofline & vault ceiling over the new kitchen area; integrate basement stairs into the main living space by removing a doorway & taking a wall down to half-height; custom cherry woodwork on half-wall & beams across kitchen ceiling; new windows; refinish floors; new cabinets, countertop, stove, integrated microwave, lighting, etc Pros: - They were responsive and listened clearly to what we were trying to achieve. LCB offered suggestions/designs that flexed beyond our initial vision (we had a very detailed vision) which helped improve the final outcome beyond what we had originally imagined. - The build team (lead carpenter to apprentices) were all wonderful to have around (we lived/worked at home thru the whole project) - They were considerate of our experience - good dust protection, daily clean-ups to ensure our dog could safely walk thru the workspace, confirmed we were cool with music playing while they worked, etc - Any issues or mistakes (humans are human) were communicated realtime and were always made right - this extended to an issue with the countertop provider where LCB went to bat for us and we love the end result - Project management & invoices were always clear - questions I had were always answered promptly - The subs they work with are all great to work with, too - We finished up basically on time (maybe 2 weeks past the planned date) - We ended about 15-20% above the planned max budget, but this was mainly due to decisions we made along the way and it was always clear where we were in control of the costs, so I'm putting it in the Pro category - The team is clearly HAPPY to be at work and it shows - I overheard a lot of training/support in ways that made me confident in the work being done. There were also a number of women involved, which was awesome to see :) Cons: - I had to be explicit with the information we needed in order to make decisions on what to keep, cut, and how to balance the budget. That said, whenever I was clear on the exact information we needed, we always got it quickly and LCB supported our decisions fully - The budget doc with all of the line items was a monster in Excel shared in PDF - I had to create my own version of the key line items to track more functionally on our side, which is something many people may not want to do We would happily go back to LCB for our next project.”
