Peregrine Design/Build in South Burlington designs and builds remodels and custom homes, and a recent Houzz reviewer said the company built their home in North Hero, Vermont, with Cliff, the main designer, on the design and Chris leading the build. That customer said the job site was always kept clean. On Houzz the company describes itself as an architectural design build firm specializing in remodeling projects and custom homes with over 38 years of experience in the building industry; its own website says 16 years in business. It holds 4.9 stars from 38 ratings on Houzz, which lists Best of Houzz design awards for 2020 through 2024. A 2023 Houzz reviewer said the team designed and completed a renovation with a new kitchen, a bathroom upgrade, window replacement and new living space under the roof made by removing a wall and installing skylights, and that the three-month project came in on time and on budget. A 2023 customer with an 1860s brick farmhouse said the kitchen design cut a large opening through an existing 2-foot brick wall into the dining room and added a new window through the exterior brick wall. That 2023 customer also said the workspace was left neat and tidy every night. A 2021 Houzz reviewer described a large interior remodel that gutted the kitchen and bathrooms and added a master closet, laundry room, office and mudroom, and said the company stuck to its timeline and brought forward issues with options for the way forward. That 2021 customer said they used the company again for landscaping with a new pool and pergola, and for a basement wine cellar. A 2019 customer on a third project with the company said it redesigned the kitchen, powder room and laundry room and added a mudroom with a new entrance, with new wood and slate floors, maple cabinets and soapstone countertops. A 2019 customer described an 8-month project on a contracted fixed budget and a wrap-up process with an ongoing commitment to resolve post-construction issues. A 2019 customer whose entire first floor was renovated said a weekly meeting on site answered questions and addressed problems. A 2018 customer said the company renovated a condo's kitchen and master bath, replaced the interior doors and wood floors, upgraded the electrical panel and replaced the outside decking, and that the job was done on time. A 2022 commenter on r/burlington wrote that the company has designers on staff and qualified carpenters. A 2023 commenter on r/burlington wrote that it has a great interior team. Vermont lists its home improvement contractor registration, 174.0001003, as active, held by Peregrine Design/Build Inc.

We can't recommend Peregrine Design Build enough. They built our home in North Hero, Vermont, and the whole experience was a genuine success from start to finish. What stood out most was the creativity they brought to the design process. We were hoping to create an heirloom house, something that stays in the family for generations, and Cliff, the main designer, really understood that vision. He listened closely to our ideas and then added his own creative touches that made the design even better than what we'd imagined. On the construction side, Chris led the build and was nothing short of amazing. The job site was always kept meticulously clean, and the quality of the finished home speaks for itself. What really impressed us was the attention to detail. The team consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done right. If you're looking for a design build team that combines real creativity with careful, high quality craftsmanship, we can't say enough good things about Peregrine. They gave us a home we're proud of and excited to pass down for years to come.
The PDB team designed and completed a renovation on my house that included a complete new kitchen, bathroom upgrade, window replacement and opening up space under the roof to create additional living space by removing a wall and installing skylights. The project took three months, coming in on time and on budget. PDB provided great design ideas, excellent communication, commitment to quality and detail and attentive follow up to resolve finishing snags. I am delighted with the results!
I knew, when I first started thinking about a major kitchen remodel, that my 1860's brick farmhouse would present an interesting set of challenges. Peregrine Design Build was my first choice for this project, and after our first concept/design meeting, I was 100% happy with my decision. From the very first design sketches I started to get excited. The design incorporated a huge opening through an existing 2 foot brick wall in to my dining room, as well as adding a new window through the exterior brick wall to let the western light flood in. These 2 ideas tripled the kitchens sense of space! I have no skills when it comes to picking fit and finish, and thankfully I didn't need them. From the Caribbean pine floors, to the soapstone counters, to the paint color choices, I was blown away. The construction crew was absolutely first class and a pleasure to interface with...and the workspace was left neat and tidy every night, which made it easy for me to go in and watch the progress! I can't recommend the Peregrine team strongly enough. I don't care what kind of day I've had...walking in to my kitchen, once home, never ceases to put a smile on my face!
We worked with Peregrine for a very large interior remodel project that involved full guts of our kitchen, bathrooms, a brand new master closet, new laundry room, and office, and mudroom. From day one, they were the best communicators, stuck to their timeline, brought forward any issues or surprises in a timely, professional manner, giving us options for the ways forward. We used them again for a full gut of our landscaping, including a new pool and pergola, as well as a new basement wine cellar, and they blew us away again. We worked with multiple construction teams throughout our multiple projects and they were all consumate professionals and truly kind people. Could not recommend Peregrine more highly.
(2022 Kitchen/Porch) Our Second project with Peregrine was a complete kitchen redesign and renovation including moving doorways, new floors throughout most of our downstairs, and the addition of a beautiful new glassed-in porch adjacent to a patio/pergola to replace an aging deck. The design that they proposed included changing the uses of an underutilized living room into a spacious dining room, a too-small dining room into a large office and workout space, and a rearrangement of the kitchen into a perfect space to cook and entertain. As was our experience in 2020, their professionalism, design sense, quality, and communication made the project the amazing finished product it is. You can see pictures of the kitchen and porch on the Peregrine Design Build account under the project titled Family Friendly Kitchen. We are beyond thrilled with the spaces they created and look forward to our next project and continuing to update this review until the rest of our house looks as nice as the spaces they've already touched. (2020 Mudroom/Powder Room) We are so happy with our new mudroom and powder room. Working with AJ and Matt and your whole team was a real pleasure. Prior to moving to this house we built our previous house and I served as the very amateur general contractor, unskilled carpenter, day labor, sweeper of sawdust, etc. This was our first experience hiring true professionals with reliable subs and a real plan for a home project, and we knew we wanted a totally different experience. We really feel like we have found a match for our priorities and needs in working with Peregrine. The quality of your work, the professionalism and responsiveness from your team, and the guaranteeing of your work just makes such a difference. The fact that you stayed on schedule to the day was incredible as well. Even just looking at the way you guys flash and install windows and casing is so significantly different from and higher quality than what I see on most houses that I couldn’t imagine even having anyone else replace a window for us.
