ADU Contractors Near Rutland

“We had the pleasure of working with Seth and his team at Inland Building on the restoration of our 1790s farmhouse, and the experience exceeded every expectation. We began the project while still living in Vancouver, which could have been challenging, but Seth’s communication, organization, and professionalism made the entire process feel seamless and well-managed from afar. What truly sets Seth apart is his ability to honor the history of a home while thoughtfully integrating modern design and functionality. He has a remarkable eye for uncovering and highlighting original architectural elements. In our case, that meant revealing 300+ year-old floorboards hidden beneath later flooring, and exposing the original post-and-beam structure by removing low ceilings and select walls—transformations that completely elevated the character of the home. At the same time, Seth brought the house up to modern standards with upgrades such as insulation, high-quality windows, and energy-efficient systems, along with carefully considered luxuries like heated floors, steam showers, and sun-filled window nooks. The result is a home that feels both historically authentic and incredibly comfortable to live in. His commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability was evident throughout. He collaborated with local artisans and used creative techniques—such as blasting the original beams with crushed walnut shells to restore their natural beauty. He also thoughtfully repurposed materials from a dismantled shed into a stunning living room mantel, custom stairs, and beautifully crafted bathroom cabinetry. Seth combines creativity, integrity, and attention to detail in a way that is rare to find. Beyond that, he is a pleasure to work with—collaborative, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the outcome. We now have a spectacular home that reflects both its rich Vermont heritage and our vision for modern living. We would highly recommend Seth and Inland Building without hesitation.”

“I explained to Bob what my wife and I had in mind for a complicated downstairs remodel that involved changing a family room into a bedroom; putting in a laundry room in the garage to make more room in an existing bathroom, as well as new heating/AC possibilities. Bob's experience in building and design allowed him to ask me question regarding the remodel designs that I never would have thought about. He explained every part of his designs to me, and made the final plans clear with General Notes and Scope of Work for the contractor that we eventually hire to do this work. Bob's attention to detail during this process was impressive. I have already recommended Bob to a co-worker.”

“We called Steven while in the midst of a building project that was moving along quickly. He responded to our call the very next day and despite being a Holiday weekend, made an appointment to meet us at the camp we were renovating. He listened to our concerns and wishes carefully and made some very valuable suggestions. His drawings were delivered within the week and were a good frame of reference for communicating with our contractor. As our building plans we're changing rapidly, Steve was able to adjust just as quickly. He met with us again about a week later and shared his 3D drawings which were so instrumental in helping us visualize the building project. He was flexible when deciding how many hours we felt we would need and could afford. When we had completed the number of hours work we requested, Steve gave us more of his time at no additional charge. He was easy to communicate with, very professional and knowledgeable.”
