It was a pleasure working with Smith & McClain both on the renovation of the historic main house at High Acres Farm, and on the construction of my home and studio, Notitia. I appreciated their attention to detail, and the pride they take in the craftsmanship of their work. Their network of trade partners were equally excellent — all in all, bringing a sense of precision, quality, and good humor to the projects. I feel grateful to have been able to collaborate with them.

Kevin and Oakley were wonderful to work with. Throughout the building process, they were transparent and clear in their communication, trustworthy, passionate about their work, and dedicated. Not to mention, they literally built me my dream home! I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to build a beautiful, high-quality home in Vermont.

Kevin and Oakley are thoughtful, responsive, and were intimately involved in the day to day management of our house construction. Between weekly meetings with them on-site, and their availability via text, phone, or email, we knew we were being taken care of. Their crews and foremen have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout both of the projects we have completed. Their willingness to continue answering questions even after construction has been completed has been incredibly helpful. We are looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Smith and McClain built the barn of our dreams. Our project ended on time, on target, and on budget. Smith and McClain excelled in daily communication and execution of building tasks. The design and function of our space evolved during the building process. The team was willing and open to problem solve with us as the project progressed. The function of our finished space sings. It meets the needs of our busy and active family and has added so much value to our lives and home. As a client, I felt valued and included in every step of the building process with Smith and McClain. We would love to work with Smith and McClain again in the future, in fact we are already dreaming about our next building project!

Our collaboration was fantastic from the beginning of the project. The Smith & McClain team brought a wealth of creative solutions and organization to the table. They always presented us with choices within a range of budgets so that we felt empowered to make decisions that worked for us. We always felt that the team put our project as a priority and were always kept up to date on timelines and anything that affected those dates and therefore we felt very knowledgeable about the process overall. The onsite team was fantastic as well, very respectful, tidy, talented and fast. We would absolutely work with Smith & McClain again and plan to when we gear up for our next home project.

Smith & McClain took on two projects for me — historic, mixed-use Main Street buildings needing total rehab. Both projects presented big challenges for their degree of deterioration and tight, downtown locations. Smith & McClain showed flexibility working in the constrained space. They welcomed and facilitated my active, hands-on participation throughout. Their crews are the best — skilled, professional, friendly. And the results were terrific — the buildings turned out great, and once again contribute to Bristol’s vital Main Street.
