Friend Construction is a Middlebury roofer that describes itself on its website as a locally and family-owned business providing roofing in Middlebury and the surrounding areas, and says it has 37 years in business. A recent Google customer said the company replaced their roof ridge, worked them into a busy schedule, and passed the savings on when the job took less time than estimated. A recent r/vermont commenter wrote that Friend Construction in Addison County replaced a large section of their roof and that they have "never had a leak since." A 2024 customer said this was their second roofing job with the company, and that a barn roof was completed and cleaned up in a day with an estimate that was "spot on." A 2024 customer who had a new roof installed said it went as planned and that Eric made good suggestions and followed through. A 2025 customer said their roof shingles were redone in one day. A 2024 customer said the company tarped their roof on very short notice after a tree hit the house in winter, gave a detailed estimate for the repair, then never returned calls or voicemails, so they hired another roofer. A 2026 customer said a garage re-roof was done well, but a later request for a quote on another job got no response. A 2024 customer said calls about a roofing estimate were not answered or returned, and a 2021 customer said no estimate arrived after a visit to look at the house. Vermont lists its residential contractor registration, 174.0001132, as active, held by Friend Construction.
“Then we had Friend Construction in Addison County come out and they replaced a large section of the roof and we’ve never had a leak since. Highly recommend them!”
“Friend Construction”
We were very pleased with Friend Construction for replacing our roof ridge. They worked us in to their busy schedule and had excellent communication. When the job took less time than originally estimated, they passed the savings on to us. That’s integrity! They were friendly and professional and we’ll be using them again.
The good and the bad. Used Friend for a re-roof of the garage. They weren't the cheapest but they were communicative and did what they said they would do. The work was quality and done well. Very satisfied. Where the satisfaction broke down was requesting a quote for another job from them after the garage roof. Basically I was ignored. Repeatedly asked for the quote and repeatedly got no response. I don't have a problem if you say it's not a job we don't want to do but in this case it was crickets. Zero communication.
Second time using Friend Construction and they are simply the best! Rachel is so knowledgable, Eric and his staff are so efficient. Would recommend them to anyone I know. Thank you thank you!
They are a kind and generous group of people. Excellent work!
The roof was installed in one day Plus. Excellent job, clean up was great and the crew was efficient and courteous.
