Donald P. Blake Jr. Inc. says it has offered contracting services in the Lamoille County area since 1985, covering new construction, renovations and property services. On its BBB page it describes itself as a residential and commercial contractor for custom home building, remodeling and additions that also builds restaurants and does some light industrial work. Its BBB grade is A+, and it holds 4.6 stars from 22 Google ratings and 5.0 stars from 29 ratings on Houzz. A 2020 customer wrote that the company did a major renovation of a Vermont vacation home: a new living room, a new two-car garage, a complete renovation of the kitchen and master bedroom and bathroom, and all new windows. That 2020 customer said the project began in January and finished ahead of schedule in June, with the team led by Travis Cutler. A 2020 customer who used the company for a total house renovation and then a Passive House certified new home said that when major surprises came up, its staff sought quotes from additional suppliers or researched alternatives to keep cost in line. The same 2020 customer said Travis Cutler brought each mistake to their attention, provided a plan to correct it and accepted the cost to fix it. A 2021 reviewer wrote that Donald Blake built their house in 1985, the first house the company built, and that they had used it since for additions and major maintenance jobs. A 2023 customer said the company had spent 20 years planning, constructing and maintaining their home in Waterbury. A 2026 reviewer from Maple Corner Properties said they had done multiple projects with the company and that Travis Cutler's team completed projects on time at or below estimated cost. A 2023 customer who asked for a quote on a home renovation, with detailed architectural and engineering plans in hand, called the price exorbitantly high and stopped working with the company. That 2023 customer said a different construction firm quoted 50% less for the same project. Vermont lists its residential contractor registration, 174.0000134, as active, held by Donald P Blake Jr, Inc.

High quality professional work. Reliable!
DBI is a best in class construction firm. The organization is first rate from top to bottom. They manage an experienced team of experts available to engage on most every type of request. They have excellent people with bench strength rare for a firm in the Vermont Market. I have done multiple projects with DBI. They deliver great workmanship with a high standard of quality. Travis Cutler is an amazing leader to engage with. His team consistently completes projects on time at or below estimated project cost. I feel fortunate to be able to work with Travis and the entire DBI team who have earned my trust and respect. Peter Livaditis, Maple Corner Properties
I have been dealing with DBI for 25+ years. Their work stands the test of time and projects done years ago look as fresh today as the day they were completed. Great service and always on time and on budget.
These folks are great!! They always have good advice, your expectations are made clear in the drawings, and they execute according to plan. I highly recommend them. Ted Lambert jr
