**★★★★★ — Paul Trahan, Nov. 2018**

> Our project was to rebuild our small cottage into a Lake House.   While our project may have been smaller in scope then others in Roundtree Construction’s extensive portfolio, Ric and his team took it on with the same degree of professionalism that they approach a much larger job.
>
> The site and maintaining to a existing foot print presented challenges, but Roundtree worked well with our architect to deliver.
>
> The Roundtree crew that build our Lake House were professional, respectful and beyond all else, skillful craftsmen.   The quality and meticulous detail that they put into our home has blown us away.  Now that we have settled in, our Lake House continues to amaze us.
>
> Thank you to the entire Roundtree team.

**Comment from Roundtree Construction:**

> Thanks, Paul. It was a pleasure working with you, Victoria and Joan!

**★★★★★ — jcw03, Dec. 2015**

> Before we initiated our builder search, my heart was set on having a well-known contractor based in Saratoga Springs, NY to oversee the major renovation of our family lake house. Yet, I knew the importance of researching the potential contracting companies while having them understand our vision and scope of work. With that in mind, we did our homework and found a number of reputable builders in the area.  Initially, we learned of Roundtree Construction on Houzz.  After meeting with the Dan and Ric, we became thoroughly impressed with their portfolio, expertise, attention to detail and, most importantly, their philosophy of working closely with their clients.  The personal attention, high level of quality and service from all members of their team, including office and onsite members resulted in an exquisite home far beyond what we ever imagined.   We will cherish this home for many years as well as the relationships that were built through the process. We look forward to working with  Roundtree Construction on future projects.

**★★★★★ — bferro36, Aug. 2015**

> Roundtree Construction did an amazing job building our home on a challenging site. They are consumed with attention to detail and customer satisfaction. We ended up with an award-wining, energy efficient home that reflected our unique taste and lifestyle.  No detail or request was too big or too small.  They met deadlines, kept me informed about the budget as the project progressed (no surprises at the end!!!) and had a talented and professional staff that worked well together and with me.  Perhaps the best part about working with them is how much they welcome your ideas and feedback.  They really do want you to end up with the house YOU want.

**★★★★★ — cherylappe, July 2015**

> The Roundtree Construction team brought our home building project to fruition with the utmost of professionalism. Throughout the process of building our contemporary home, Roundtree proved themselves to be expert problem solvers for whom no detail was too small to execute with perfection.  Their own crew, as well as all sub-contractors, approached the project with care and respect.  In a timely fashion, and within budgetary constraints,  we were delivered a high quality home by a team who seemed to love working on the house.  Most importantly, we feel as though we can rely on the folks at Roundtree and their sub-contractors to be available to us for help in the future should the need arise.

**★★★★★ — Keuka Studios, Inc, Dec. 2014**

> Rick and his team are some of the finest craftsman on Lake Champlain.  They were a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — TruexCullins Architecture + Interior Design, May 2014**

> Roundtree Construction are simply one of the best contractors we have worked with. From initial estimates to final punch list, they are an invaluable source for all construction related services. True professionals.

  - Location: Hague, NY
  - Photos: 15

The scope of work for this four-bedroom lakefront home encompasses the design of…

  - Description: This home is an example of the historic Vermont tradition of connecting building sections in the farmhouse style, but with a contemporary flair. The contrasting colors and textures of the exterior materials further this idea of the modern farmhouse. The use of refined materials and design in the main living areas of the home give way to the more rustic timber framed entertainment center of the "barn". There is also a subtle sprinkling of rustic materials amongst the more polished contemporary fi…

Moving thru the site and the house, a landscaped terrace surrounded by board formed concrete walls, bluestone pavers, opens the house to the western spectacle.

  - Description: This Adirondack style camp was built on the exact footprint of an older camp (see 2nd photo), we removed. Designed under strict Association guidelines by one of our favorite local architects to satisfy the owner’s requirements for a 3 season camp which looked like it belonged to an older era. The resulting design is all spruce and pine finishes (no sheetrock!), with many cozy nooks to sleep, read, and enjoy the simple pleasures of Lake Champlain. We built the camp on a drained concrete foundatio…
