Blanchard Design Build is a carpentry and remodeling business that says it has been in business for 31 years. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+. A 2026 customer said Jason completed a basement remodel for $18.375: he fixed the main beam, reinforced the basement ceiling with studs and blocking, enclosed the interior walls with sheetrock and put insulation above the ceiling. That 2026 customer said he goes out of his way to make sure you understand everything about the project. A 2025 customer said the original project was to install support beams in the basement, and that he also made time to rebuild an upstairs wall. A 2024 customer said an initial quote from a local contractor came in 45,000 more than what Jason did the work for, and called him up front and good at communicating. A 2024 customer wrote that the front porch flooring and stairs were replaced and a sturdy railing added within a week. A 2024 customer from Essex said they were available to start within 2 weeks, showed up on time, and had the porch's slab, framing, roof and windows installed within 5 days. A 2024 customer said Jason removed the existing countertops, leveled the cabinets, and came back after the new countertops went in to install support brackets and molding. A 2023 customer said Jason put two handrails down old stairways to the basement of an 1856 duplex, working around odd angles, failing brick and a post, up to Burlington code, and finished in 5 hours including material runs and repositioning a doorknob. Vermont lists its home improvement contractor registration, 174.0000397, as active, held by BLANCHARD DESIGN BUILD.
Jason completed the basement remodel project for $18.375. He fixed the main beam and reinforced the basement ceiling with well-placed studs and blocking. He enclosed the interior walls with sheetrock and put insulation above the ceiling. I am very happy with the work that was done and highly recommend this man. You will not find a more honest contractor. He goes out of his way to make sure that you understand everything about the project. You will definitely think of Jason as a good friend who has your back.
Very professional and respectful. Listened to my concerns. Work completed was well done and completed in a timely way. Original project was to install support beams in the basement, but then he also made time to do an additional unplanned project- rebuilding an upstairs wall.
Jason was great to work with. We got in contact him from Home Advisor after getting an initial quote from a local contractor for 45,000 more than what Jason was able to do the work for! We were so pleased with his services - he was great at communicating, up front, helped us come up with ideas, and just generally was great to work with.
Replaced front porch flooring, stairs and added a sturdy railing within a week. The final product is attractive and very well built. Blanchard Design/Build will be #1 choice with future projects!
They were available to start within 2 weeks and showed up on time. Work on the porch progress was Quick. Slab was done and all framing,roof and windows were installed within 5 days!!. Would recommend Jason in a heartbeat. Thank you Home Advisor for your service.. Chris from Essex Vt.
