Featured Reviews for South Burlington, VT Home Builders

Red House Building
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
April 7, 2014
“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.”

“Alex has worked in the capacity of site supervisor on two high performance prefabricated homes that I have managed in Central Vermont. Both projects had strict and aggressive deadlines to meet, Alex and his crew were up to the challenge and delivered in both instances. His understanding of high performance and high quality building practices is outstanding.”
Newschool Builders LLC

“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!”
BlackRock Construction
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
January 13, 2015
“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.”
Hayward Design Build
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
September 16, 2014
“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!”
Bickford Construction Corporation
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
September 19, 2013
“Bob Bickford & his building crew are simply outstanding! We lost our previous home to a devastating fire in early 2013. Bob was highly recommended by our son who had recently had a large home constructed by Bob. His crew never missed one day of construction. In 5 months they constructed a fabulous home built with quality, outstanding attention to detail, & met & exceeded all our requirements. We simply do not have enough superlatives for this superior team!”
Beacon Hill Builders
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
December 8, 2015
“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”
Gordon Dixon Construction
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
June 17, 2015
“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!”
Shelterwood Construction
South Burlington, VT Home Builders
June 7, 2016
“Shelterwood Construction has been a true pleasure to work with. They enjoy building elegant & meticulous carpentry details at the same time that they want to reach for the highest sustainability targets we know how to design. It is a very rare to find craftspeople who are also eager to build houses that work as truly integrated high performance buildings, but it's a testament to Shelterwood's desire to build houses that are high quality both inside and out. They milled white pine from the project site into beautiful wide plank flooring with the same excitement as they dove into the technical aspects of Passive House energy metrics. We would happily work with them again at the next opportunity.”
Roundtree Construction
South Burlington, VT Home Builders

“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.”
