"We found Vermonty by word of mouth and glad we listened. Outstanding demo job, clean, organized, and efficient. They worked smart and hard and handled a variety of obstacles in our old building, electrical, plumbing, and general construction related work. Would 10/10 recommend and hire again. Also- excellent communication throughout the job, young guys like this with old school work ethic and quality are hard to come by."

"I had an old, massive chimney built years ago with the wrong brick, it was crumbling off my house. Most chimney repair contractors were quoting me upwards of 30, 40, 50k. Justin worked with me to find a solution which would cost me less than half of that and still ensure the longevity and safety of my chimney/house. It took a while to get done, we had to wait for the right weather but the outcome was fantastic and working with Justin was an easy, smooth and enjoyable process."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Nick was extremely busy but took time to come introduce himself and look at the job. He replaced some rotting boards on the house and around our woodstove pipe. He did excellent work and came when he said he would be there. I will recommend him to anyone else who is looking for a builder."

"I hired Guayacan Home Improvement to replace some siding and latticework following the installation of a new deck. Luis and his team were absolutely magnificent from the beginning of our relationship until the prompt completion of the job. Theirs is a family businesss of the very best kind - honest, skillful, friendly and reasonably priced. They scheduled the work on a timely basis and completed it ahead of schedule. Theire= attention to detail and cleanup work was extraordinary. I was so impressed with the quality of their work that I immediately asked them to consider taking on a larger project on our behalf. I strongly recommend them and would be happy to share my experience with anyone considering working with Guayacan Home Improvement."

"Having Champlain Valley Builders remodel our family home in Colchester was an experience we’ll always be grateful for. We started with a kitchen remodel and added a bathroom renovation, transforming a home filled with years of memories. Kyle was exceptional throughout the entire process. His communication was honest, responsive, and reassuring. He listened to what we wanted, offered thoughtful guidance, and kept us informed every step of the way.The craftsmanship was outstanding. The carpenters treated our home with genuine care and completed every detail with pride and precision. The finished kitchen and bath are beautiful and completely transformed. Most importantly, Kyle and the Champlain Valley Builders team understood they weren’t simply remodeling a house—they were working on our family home. That meant everything to us.We couldn’t be happier with the results and wholeheartedly recommend this fantastic company. I wish I had room to write more on how exceptional they are. 5 stars"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
