Patterson & Smith Construction describes itself as a full-service residential construction company in Stowe, Vermont, building, renovating and maintaining homes for more than 25 years. The company tells the Better Business Bureau it was established and incorporated in Vermont in 1991 and also takes some commercial work, and it holds an A+ grade there. A 2023 customer said the company and Steel Construction built a house over a two-year project that started as a major renovation and became more of a tear-down rebuild. That 2023 customer called John and Chapman honest and said attention to the budget was there throughout. A 2017 customer said Chapman used the space in an early-'90s house in creative ways while the family lived there through a gutted master bathroom, a finished basement and an updated fireplace and living room, and that everything was completed on time and to budget. A 2016 customer said the company added a 3-season porch, renovated 2 bathrooms, replaced all the windows and trim and added two front porches, spaced over two years. A 2014 customer wrote that Shap Smith led his team and a few subcontractors on their Stowe vacation home: a kitchen remodel, a bath remodel, a new mud room, floor refinishing, interior and exterior painting and a new roof. A 2015 customer said the cost ran somewhat higher than competing bids, and that after seven years of sub-zero winters the three-season porch looked brand new.
“Acting as his own general contractor, he worked with Patterson & Smith Construction in Stowe for the framing and exterior finishes.”
I hired Steel Construction and Patterson Smith to build my dream house. I have just moved in after a two-year project, as it was a major renovation and really became more of a tear-down rebuild. From the beginning I had the pleasure of working with the group: Being such a big project you cannot help but go into it w/some stress and anxiety! However that was short lived as they made me feel very comfortable quickly. John & Chapman: They are very honest: That is #1! Then the attentiveness and concern for the budget was consistently there. Then, over time I realized that this company surrounds themselves with nothing but the best workers: The craftsmanship, the workmanship, the attitudes, the punctuality, and everything in between was excellent. I now realize as I walk through the house, all of the attention to detail and the quality of the job was just beyond my wildest expectations. Our dream house : 100% success. I would highly recommend this firm!
Chapman and the team at Patterson & Smith were wonderful to work with. We bought a house built in the early 90's that needed a lot of updating. Chapman was excellent at using the space we had in creative ways to make sure we maximized our renovation while keeping to the features and theme of the original house. Everything was completed on time and to budget. We lived in the house while we gutted a master bathroom, finished a basement and updated a fireplace and living room. The team that worked at the house was extremely professional and polite. We didn't even know they were there. They worked quickly and efficiently and the finished product is beyond our wildest dreams. We look forward to having them complete the remainder of jobs that we have to complete.
Patterson Smith Construction is and excellent contractor in the Stowe area. Cleve Patterson and Chapman Smith have been wonderful to work with, and extremely experienced. One of the best.
When we bought our home, it was with the intention of a long-term construction and renovation project that would grow with our family and transition us from seasonal home owners to full-time residents. In addition, we needed to create a dynamic, functional home with little kids and still have a relevant layout and design when our kids are older. Patterson & Smith has been with us all along and I cannot say enough how their staff, design, subcontractors are first rate all the way. Our needs included adding a 3-season porch, renovating 2 bathrooms, replacing ALL the windows and trim, adding two front porches and ultimately altering the exterior of our home from "faux farmhouse" to "mountain house." We spaced this out over two years. They intuitively understood our need to be environmentally-conscious, our design-aesthetic and equally important, our need to stay on budget. I look forward to Phase 3 of our home reno project!
Shap Smith and his crew from Patterson and Smith did the complete remodel of our house in Stowe Vermont. We could not have been happier with the level of skills and professionalism of each of the people we worked with. We were listened to and consulted each step along the way and all was done so that the result was exactly what we had hoped for. We love our house and are so pleased to have worked with Shap and his team.
