Custom Home Builders in Chittenden County

“Alex and Blake finished our basement to a high spec for a spa and gym area as well as remedial exterior work to our guest cottage. They managed all aspects of the project with creative solutions and to exacting standards of themselves as well as their chosen sub contractors. Cannot recommend them enough!”

“This was our first time building a house and we were a bit apprehensive of how stressful and difficult the process would be. Nate and his team were fantastic! We were included as much as we wanted to be, adjustments and design changes were welcome, the entire project was well organized, and any issues or concerns that we had were addressed quickly. Everyone that we worked with was friendly and I've found Nate to be extremely fair in each of the situations that we worked together. We worked primiarily with Jamie and he was excellent at communicating what was going, worked quickly to resolve any problems, and was always friendly, professional and approachable. Even after closing, communication has been easy and open. We love our new home and we're very comfortable with it. If we were ever to build another house, I'd build with Nate and Jamie without a single concern. It was a great experience!”

“Gordon Dixon Construction did an amazing job building a home for us in Stowe, VT. The building experience was very enjoyable and remained on time and within budget. The effort put forth to keep the project moving in an organized and timely manner helped us as the homeowner keep on track with decisions and budget. Their guidance and attention to detail during the process were exceptional and truly evident in the quality and craftsmanship of the home. The carpenters were outstanding and were able to create exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Gordon Dixon Construction and truly appreciate the beautiful custom home that was built for us!”

“Red House was our GC for an eight month gut renovation of an 1840's farmhouse. They were fantastic to work with from the first call to their office thru the finishing touches just after we moved in. They provided ideas and consulted throughout the design process, sharing options for needed products, vendor and retail suggestions. As some items inevitably changed during construction they were understanding and willing to adjust. They ran a very neat construction site and kept the project on time. Chris Quinn oversaw the project from a business/planning perspective, David Matesi was point person on site (and a talented blacksmith!) and worked with Dave, Nate & Arna - a great team all around.”

“The Shirlock Homes Team are tried and true stewards of design. They are an exceedingly talented team and I feel very fortunate to work alongside them in the pursuit of extraordinary projects. They are skilled collaborators and gifted craftsmen. From start to finish they are tirelessly committed to realizing what’s been designed on paper into built form. -Kristen L’Esperance, Cultivation Design Studio, LLC.”

“We hired Blackrock Construction to build our new family home because of Mark our General Contractor. We looked at bids from a few different contractors, and contemplated on buying a cookie cutter house in a neighborhood. Luckily and VERY happy we made the right choice!! We picked Mark because he seemed very thorough, honest and professional, and have been extremely pleased with the results. Mark came up with lots of creative ways to make our home look exactly like we wanted it. He is very excellent at remembering and paying attention to minor details. In particular, we wanted a little rustic/west coast mountain feel. Mark surprised us with a personalized 100 year old door converted wash/vessel sink for our powder room. He also built us a beautiful wood bench, along with a very rustic fire place mantle which really brings out the decor. With any new construction, there are minor hiccups, however Mark made this a smooth experience for us. Mark's crew was highly professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. He was very proactive in working us as the house designer, the engineer and the inspectors, and made sure that the work stayed on schedule, weather permitting in Vermont. We would hire Mark and BlackRock again without hesitation.”

“We have a camp on a lake in NY. The property has two homes which were both in need of major repair. Our first cabin we used a local craftsman, he was good, but was not done in a timely manner and had to come back for a lot of finishes. When we decided to redo our "main" house we chose McKernon and it was the best decision we made. The builders started on time and the project was completed on date agreed upon in the contract. The site was always clean and orderly. The craftsmanship in the cabinetry was top notch. I really can't say enough for the company and employees. If I was going to build again, I would hesitate to call upon them.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with AW Clark Builders on several occasions. AW Clark brings a unique pairing of professionalism and family owned business together. This makes for a great experience with the homeowner and others working on the project. AW Clark Builders should be on your list when considering a project around your home or office!”

“Beacon Hill Builders work is excellent and beautiful. And they are fun to work with. I had the pleasure of photographing two of their unique homes in the past three years. One was a complex circular three story design, where curves that are difficult to build were executed to perfection. Both houses have been published in national magazines. I was given all the time and help that I needed, and allowed to suggest views to them. They are very flexible and easy to work with. You will totally enjoy your experience with Beacon Hill Builders”

“We recently had the pleasure working with Turtle Creek Builders on a 19th century farmhouse in the Mad River Valley. Being a window and door company, we have experience with a variety of builders and contractors. Ward (the owner of Turtle Creek) has a conscientious and honest approach to remodeling, which is always refreshing to see. He is fully insured, Lead Certified, has employer comp (and takes these things very seriously!). Ward refuses to cut any corners in his business, and this is evident by his exceptional work. We highly recommend Turtle Creek Builders for any Mad River Valley remodel/build project, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with Ward and Turtle Creek Builders again!”
