Chris managed one recent Red House Building project for 18 months, transforming a former golf area, and that customer said the company was good with follow-ups and finding solutions. Red House describes itself on Houzz as a full-service, employee-owned building company in Vermont's Champlain Valley focused on custom residential construction, renovation and historic restoration. A 2026 customer said Red House built their home in Fayston, VT, from early planning through construction to home maintenance, and coordinated the subcontractors. In 2026, a customer said they worked with Dunbar to spec the project before a handoff to Chris W. as project manager, and that the company responded promptly to post-construction punch-list items. A 2026 customer said they had done three major projects and numerous smaller ones with Red House over the past 10 years. A recent customer said multiple magazines published pictures of the house. A 2017 customer said Red House remodeled their home in Colchester, VT, gave a detailed cost estimate before the work began with updates whenever changes occurred, and provided weekly schedule updates. In 2017, a Jericho, VT customer who described wanting a small energy-efficient home said Red House finished it ahead of schedule and under budget. A 2017 customer said Red House built an in-ground gunite pool with a patio, outdoor kitchen facilities and a fire pit, as well as an 80 x 80 x 24 steel-framed airplane hangar. In 2017, a customer said Red House renovated a summer camp on Lake Champlain, with a new outbuilding and kitchen split into two phases for budget reasons. A 2017 customer said Chris and his team helped renovate the kitchen, bathrooms and a new bedroom, and that pricing stayed consistent with the initial discussions. Red House holds 5 stars from 12 Google ratings and 5.0 stars from 35 Houzz ratings. Its Houzz profile lists LEED-certified homes, including Platinum, and Energy Star contractor status. In a September 2024 r/burlington thread, a commenter said Red House is also very good. Vermont lists its home improvement contractor registration, 174.0000375, as active, held by Red House, Inc.
“Red house is also very good.”
We recommend Red House team without hesitation. Chris was managing our project for 18 months. We were transforming a former golf into a beautiful area and we were lucky to work with them. This team takes pride about their work and it shows. Specialized in highly crafted house, very professional, creative, good with follow-ups and finding solutions. My husband told me that working with Chris was fantastic.
Thorough, knowledgeable, available combined with top quality work and professionalism. Best builders I have ever worked with. Honest interactions from planning to implementation. Multiple magazines published pics of the house.
Red House built the home of our dreams in Fayston, VT. The entire process -- from early planning, through construction, to home maintenance -- was a joy. Every member of the team was highly skilled, deeply committed to our project, and a pleasure to work with . . . and we were impressed that the same was true of the excellent subcontractors that Red House coordinated to bring our project to fruition. We cannot recommend Red House enough!
Fantastic experience from initial meeting to completion and beyond. The hand-picked staff and low-key, efficient approach to building, and their ability to adapt to changes, took the worries out of a potentially difficult, close-to-the-heart building process. Post move-in follow-up was seamless and efficient. We are 100% pleased with the exceptional craftmanship and overall building process the Red House Staff provided.
We had a great experience working with Red House from start to finish. Early on, we worked closely with Dunbar to spec the project—he was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and always available—and the handoff to Chris W., as project manager, was seamless. Communication, attention to detail, and overall coordination were outstanding. Chris W. played a central role in facilitating clear, effective communication between the design, architectural, and construction teams, which made the entire process feel well organized and efficient. Just as importantly, the team remained fully engaged after construction was complete, responding promptly and thoroughly to post‑construction punch‑list items. Working with Chris W. made a huge difference. He was proactive, thoughtful, and highly responsive throughout, always anticipating issues and keeping everything moving smoothly. He was a pleasure to work with and gave us real confidence at every stage of the project. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Red House.
