I recently had some work needed around my house. I needed to have the siding replaced and got a few…read moreestimates from contractors locally. After careful review I choose to work with Gmwoodworks. The job went along great. He fixed problems that we never saw under the old siding and wrapped the house properly in tyvek. All the while his workmanship and attention to detail were seccond to none. The way he kept us informed on the progress made us feel like we knew what we were looking at.:) The house has new siding and some stone work under the overhang, and now is by far the nicest in the neighborhood. After he completed the siding we had him quote a new deck out back for us. The price was workably so in two weeks times we had a new deck out back. The deck is curved in the front and covered with compostie decking with composite railings and looks beautiful. The whole structure including footings is solid and we don't expect any problems for many, many years to come. If anyone around Rutland Vt is looking for a good, honest, hard working, carpenter then you need to call Mark @ (802)345-1897 We are soooooo happy that we did and would gladly work with him in the future. Thanks!!!!

I 100% recommend Fontaine Roofing. Roof is cathedral no attic space - no room for error. I hired…read morehim to repair what I thought was a section that would be relatively simple. When he pulled the shingles, what he found was both disheartening and shocking. The prior roofer (work he was repairing) bungled the entire roof and left vast sections of structure uninsulated. Rot had ruined the joists. The simple 1 week job was now a complete rebuilding of the entire roof system including new joists. What I got in the end was a perfectly engineered roof with air circulation, up-to-code insulation, and attractive metal roofing. His attention to detail is spectacular - I even heard him tell a technician "No - it has to fit perfectly." Air spacing wood members were slotted to facilitate airflow. The 1 week job took close to three, and each day they left the workspace clean. There were no unreasonable delays and they worked solid through the heat until the job was done. Communication from the beginning was prompt, clear, documented with detailed quote sheets, and budgets met. Highly recommend.

We also had him replace Anderson windows and he did an excellent job in the repairs / replacements. He also did several other jobs like putting in electronic locks and masonry work on the fireplace install.

Highly recommend.

My experience with this company was marked by poor communication, missed commitments, and billing…read moreissues. I first met with them on 11/3. Prior to that appointment, numerous messages asking for a time went unanswered. On 11/3, I signed a contract for $5,900 for a chimney liner and hearth installation and paid the required deposit. The balance was paid in full shortly thereafter. I was told the project would be completed by 12/18, or sooner if they could "squeeze me in." A chimney liner was installed on 11/24, and I was specifically told the 12/18 completion date for a functional wood stove remained unchanged. The company was aware from the first meeting that the wood stove was my only permanent heat source. On the morning of 12/18, after multiple phone calls, texts, and emails asking when they would be arriving, I finally received a text stating that I was actually scheduled for 12/19. At that point, I was also informed that they did not yet have a plan for the hearth and had not even ordered it. Later that day, I was told the hearth was on backorder and that the delay was not their fault. However, documents later produced by the company showed the hearth was not ordered until 12/22. The hearth was finally installed on 1/14, nearly a month after the promised completion date. To make matters worse, I later received a separate bill for $855 for the hearth despite receiving no prior notice, authorization request, or approved change order for additional charges. There was also an $800 allowance in my estimate for chimney tear-out work that ultimately was not required, and a $250 charge for sealing around the chimney that was never performed. Mistakes and delays can happen on any project. What I found unacceptable was the lack of communication, the shifting explanations, and the billing disputes that followed. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.

Exceptional Service! After having committed to purchase a fireplace insert from another company in…read moreChittenden county VT., I discovered that the company was unable to offer a chimney inspection and cleaning before installing the unit. In order to make sure my chimney was safe for install I contacted several sweep Companies. Northeastern not only was the first to respond but they were able to schedule service at a very reasonable price within four days of my contact. The team that responded was meticulous and professional and even agreed to do an additional inspection and cleaning of a second flue in the building on the spot for only a nominal additional charge. Back at the office, Dillion the manager also invested considerable time and effort in helping me consider other available insert options that might be available through Northeastern should I change my mind on the first option. While I decided the original insert was still my best choice, based on the exceptional service Northeastern demonstrated, I chose to have them handle the install and I was not disappointed. The install team not only picked up the unit, an exceptionally heavy one weighing in at almost 600 Lbs from the other retailer, but as a team of only two moved it up over a set of stairs and into its final location. In conclusion I would recommend this company highly to anyone seeking chimney services and will continue to use them in the future for not only routine inspection and maintenance services but any other that is needed!

Paquette plumbing installed two heating/hot water wall units, and both units had problems with the…read moreventing of the exhaust pipes. Met with Nick the owner of the company, and he acknowledged the faulty installations, and said they could be corrected. However, after the meet, I made three additional phone calls to the office and an email, no one ever call back or reply to my email. According to the installation manual, the exhaust pipe needs 24 inches of clearance below the soffit for hot air to escape, or through the roof. Paquette vented the exhaust pipe right at the soffit, and it caused hot air to drift back into the attic, and hot air condensing into water/ice during cold days. Also, this exhaust pipe supposed to pitch slightly upward for the air to escape and drain the condensed water into the pump located inside the house, however, the pipe was installed pitching slightly downward and caused condensed water to drain outside of the house, alongside of the exterior wall. This faulty installation is causing ice accumulation outside of doorstep, icicles hanging under the gutter, and icicles under the deck and above the first-floor deck ceilings. The first-floor exhaust vent was noticed by Nick, and said it needs to penetrate through the facial board away from the deck. After nearly two months chasing, I lost hope that Paquette plumbing will do the right thing to correct this issue. Now that we're in cold winter time, I have to deal with a pile of ice outside of my doorstep.
