We had a great experience with Vermont Frames. They were extremely professional from start to finish, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and made everything easy and stress-free. The craftsmanship was excellent, with real attention to detail and quality. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality custom timber frame!
I’m a project manager for a construction company, and I had the pleasure of working with Vermont Frames on my first timber frame project. Their crew made the entire process straightforward. From designing the plans to the exact layout of the SIP panels. Kevin Rye and Keegan were great to work with, always willing to answer questions and help however they could. The frame was up and ready to go in just two weeks, which was impressive. The crew on site was respectful, organized, and kept things clean. I’d absolutely work with Vermont Frames again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality, well-executed timber frame.
My wife and I started our timber frame process with VT Frames a few years ago. Working with VT Frames design team throughout the many small revisions to get our future home just right. The time to build finally came. Crew should up early on a Monday and took a half a day to unload and transport material to site due to a challenging driveway. The crew never missed a beat, and we were amazed on how well everyone on this crew knew their role and what to do to keep the project progressing. Crew was easy to interact with and enjoyable to work with. The crew kept my wife and I up to speed throughout the build and before you knew it the frame was completed. We can't thank the field crew and entire VT Frames staff enough on a great build and great experience. Casey and Crystal Pollard Morgan, VT
Our knowledge of the building processes was very limited when we decided to build a house. Our hearts were set on a timber frame for its esthetic, durability and efficiency. The first time we spoke with Vermont Frames we knew we were in safe hands. They were accommodating with our tight timeline and recommended our local GC, who had 40+ years of experience with this specific type of build. Their design team suggested changes to our floor plan which gave us more space without impacting our budget. We enjoyed visiting the shop in Starksboro to see how the timbers are cut and marked for placement. Kevin, Josh and the entire crew were extremely welcoming and took the time to walk us through their hand crafted process. It wasn’t lost on them that this was a big deal for us and they shared in our excitement. We were onsite when the frame went up to watch this skilled crew do what they do best, build dream homes. That’s a day we'll always remember. Seeing timber transform into a house, and eventually a home, is unbelievably impressive. We’re forever grateful for Vermont Frames.
I have hired Vermont Frames on several timber frame homes, and the experience has been exceptional every time. From the start, their design process is easy and collaborative, working seamlessly with us and our clients as one team. Vermont Frames is responsive, keeping projects moving efficiently from planning through construction, all with a clear focus on the homeowner experience. Their commitment doesn’t stop when their scope ends, they check in on-site, remain available for questions, and are flexible when changes arise. When we need support in the field, their framers arrive promptly, work professionally, and fit right in with our crew. Vermont Frames is a trusted partner in delivering beautiful, lasting homes.
