Built by hand.
Rooted in Vermont.
New construction, renovations, and property care — for homes across Charlotte and the Champlain Valley. No shortcuts, no sales pitch — just work that holds up to the weather here.
From the lake to the ridgeline.
Whatever you're building around here — a lakefront place in Charlotte, an old farmhouse in Shelburne, a camp up in the hills — it's handled start to finish. We bring in trusted subcontractors for the specialty trades, and hold every one of them to the same standard.
New Construction
New builds that make your dreams real — framed tight, finished clean, and built to current market standards. If you can picture it, I can build it.
Renovations & Carpentry
Renovations that turn your house into something modern — kitchens, baths, millwork, whole-home remodels. Same care I'd put into my own place.
Exterior & Landscaping
Landscaping and property design — stonework, grading, planting, and outdoor structures that sit right in the Vermont landscape.
Interior & Exterior Finishes
Interior and exterior finishes — siding, trim, and detail carpentry held to the same standard on every job. The parts you touch and see every day, done right.
A standard we won't lower.
Every project runs through the same four ideas — no exceptions, no matter the budget. It's how we were taught, and it's what our name goes on.
Built With the Land
Eco-materials and energy-efficient methods that respect the Vermont landscape. Sustainable isn't a buzzword here — it's how we build.
Fully Insured
Fully insured on every project, big or small. You're covered, and so is the work.
Code Compliant
Built to current code every time. Work that passes inspection the first time and lasts for decades.
Built to Last
The details no one will ever see get the same care as the ones they will. We build for the long view, not the walkthrough.
Good bones, honest joinery —the work underneath the finish.
"Working with Max to construct a greenhouse was a pleasure. From concept to completion he brought ideas, skills, tools, and a pleasant demeanor to every day on the job. The end result speaks for itself in beauty and quality."
