Get matched with top deck maintenance specialists in Bristol, VT

"I hired Mark to sand and stain a dock that was peeling. He was a great communicator from start to finish. It was obvious that he was particular about the prep work. He was meticulous with staining and cleaned up afterwards. He even followed up several days after the job was done to see how the dock cured. Would definitely use him again."

We work extremely hard for the owner and always have the owner's best interest at heart. Our long term vision is for us to become a go to general contractor with capabilities to do multiple types of projects.

I am the owner of Stowebury Home & Grounds, a Waterbury, VT-based property care and construction company proudly serving clients within 50 miles of Waterbury. I bring hands-on craftsmanship — trained through Yestermorrow Design/Build School — to everything from handyman repairs and seasonal grounds care to custom carpentry and outbuildings. Our carpentry work spans interior and exterior projects, with a focus on sustainable materials wherever we can.\n\nWe do both structural builds and interior finish work — from custom workshops and barns built from the ground up, to interior carpentry including siding, decking, and flooring installation and repair. We also handle drywall installation and repair, from full rooms to patch-and-match jobs on existing walls, along with custom cabinetry and furniture built to fit each client's specific space and needs.

"Excellent work! Done professionally and quickly. Will definitely continue to use Northern Oakes!!!"

"They were very professional and dedicated. Some of the decks were in pretty bad shape. They stayed on it until all old mold was out. One of them was in sch bad shape that when it was wet it was dangerous. Well now it looks like new. Very nice work. Thank you!"

"Jim has done many projects for me-- both large and small-- over the years. He is prompt, reliable, very skilled, FAST, honest, neat, intelligent and thoughtful in his work, cheerful, courteous, and reasonably priced. He arrives at the job very focused, and because he is so experienced he gets the job done quickly, which means that I actually save money over using less focused, or less experienced carpenters (who might charge less per hour but end up costing more). Jim's work always has the three main qualities I am looking for: solid, functional, and pleasing to the eye. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough!"

"The company representative stated to me that they only do commercial properties and not residential homes. I was not aware of that from the company's description. They did respond to my calls."

"Great communication, excellent work, unbeatable price and got it done almost 2 weeks early! Couldn’t be happier and will hire them again."

"Excellent service. O’Neil and his crew are timely and considerate folks."

"Provider did an excellent job once we were finally able to get him to come over. He was not familiar with the deck stain I bought so in turn we did not get the two coats applied like we wanted. This is partially my fault due to me not informing him that the two coats need to be applied Wet on Wet (applied within 20 minutes of each other). Other than that he showed up when he said he would and performed the work, and a little extra, in a timely and professional manner.
