"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."

"I have hired these guys to come back and do more work at my home. They are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Phone calls or texts to Matt were answered in a very timely manor which I appreciated very much. Matt is local and is experienced with Vermont old homes. Repairs are complete and the cost is very reasonable. I have already recommended him to my family and friends. Thanks to Emilio and Trevor for great on-site work. You both are competent, considerate, and keep a clean safe work zone. Iâ m very happy with the job well done."

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."

"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"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.
