What We Build With
Craftsmanship starts before we pick up a brush. We specify brands and products that hold up to Vermont winters and stand behind warranties you can actually use.
You can also supply your own materials — it's your project. But if you want our recommendation, the brands below are what we trust on our own homes and specify by default on every job we take on.

We source from the top two paint manufacturers in North America. Both lines offer superior coverage, washability, and long-term color retention — suited for Vermont's demanding climate.
