OLD FARM HOUSE, WAITSFIELD, VT

This extensive custom build began with a structure built in the 1800s, which now houses 3 bedrooms, 2 offices, and a playroom in 3,200 square feet of living space designed by MB architect + design.

This VT energy efficiency certified project involved raising the building to replace the foundation, and adding a standing seam roof. Graceful finishing touches were achieved using original timbers and salvaged handrails, as well as salvaged original roofing material to create a metal skirt around the exterior of the building.

TRES AMIGOS, STOWE, VT

This property was formerly known as the Rusty Nail. We transformed a 6,000-square-foot building into a Mexican Restaurant and smaller, more quaint music venue space. The clients were attracted to using reclaimed materials so Bowling Alley Lane floors were used to create bar tops, tables, and benches. Wood pallets were deconstructed and used as wall paneling to assist with sound and provide scenes depicting mountain-like aesthetics. This was a great experience working with restaurateurs because as we were wrapping up the project, they were testing the menu which reminded us all of the similarities between the restaurant and building industry (and was darn tasty!)

We ABSOLUTELY love our new kitchen. It is exactly what we were hoping for and looks and feels so awesome! And it was done so fast really, exceeding our timeline expectations.

Roots Builders did a beautiful job completing our basement renovation.

They took great care to make sure we were happy with the outcome and the final product is of very high quality.

I would absolutely use them on another project and will highly recommend them to all my friends!
