Isles Chapter 12: Flat ceilings are lame

New paneled ceiling, trim, and a fresh color scheme for the guest bedroom, enough said.

Thanks Chris and Betsy!

Isles custom ceiling

After a beautiful renovation of their bathroom last year Chris and Betsy had the VT PRO crew back to build some custom ceilings in the dinning room and one of the guest bedrooms.

The 150+ year old dinning room was screaming for a make over to match the Isles warm and inviting home.  The open beam ceiling was insulated and a new LED lighting layout was installed complete with a textured ceiling and stained trim, and all outdated wiring was brought up to code. Boom.

Here are some progress shots of the crew in action.

Restoration of the Brauer Home

Wendy and Billy Brauer have a classic Vermont style farm house that had been in need of some serious work.  Windows were leaking and needed to be insulated and re-sealed, one hundred plus year old crown molding needed to be re-built, garage walls needed new windows and siding, and almost the entire building was covered in loose and flaking lead paint. Easy!

The Brauer's were terrific clients to have, and the entire crew had a great time enjoying beautiful summer days in a great setting bringing their home back to life, giving it the craftsmanship it deserved.

Thanks again Wendy and Billy!

The Brauer's are incredibly talented people and if you're not familiar with Billy's work, and his renowned paintings, here's a link for some of his work Bill Brauer.

My wife and I purchased one of Billy's gorgeous works and have it hanging in the entrance of our home.

Make the most of your bathroom. Tolchin take two.

Marty and Susan had us back to their Vermont condo to remodel Susan's bathroom on this go around.  Susan had very specific bold red wall-paper that she had always wanted to put up, consider it done!

But first the 1980s condo had to be complete stripped down, framing re-done, and insulated properly, and than we can put up the wallpaper; in addition they received new plumbing, sheetrock, new floor tile, new bathroom tile, new fixtures, and new trim.


Unfortunately this is what it looks like when you loose the working shots and have to retrieve them online.

Fleckenstein's New French Door

Mark and Jenneth's first floor of their home is driven by the kitchen, dinning room, and a relaxing back deck; which all flow into one another.  Unfortunately they were not in love with the "clunky" and poorly built glass doors off of the dinning area.  Hence they had Vermont Pro come into install a new french sliding door which opened up the layout, improved heat retention, and looked great!

The key part to this project was the intense supervision provided by VT Pro's youngest site supervisor, Fin Fleckenstein, who specializes in spacial utilization and tool efficiency.

Thanks Mark and Jenneth!

Harwood Union High School

The high school was undergoing the installation of a new security system and needed VT Pro to install a new exterior wall with a security panel built into it.  Everything went smoothly and we are glad to be a part of providing the students and teachers with a safer environment.

Warren Church Restoration, phase one complete.

The Warren United Church is a historic centerpiece of the town, and community, of Warren.  For many generations, past and present, the church has been a strong part of the community providing services, weddings, and town gatherings.

After several long months of lead remediation, extensive carpentry (replacement of siding, trim, and entrance molding), and detailed painting, the Vermont Pro crew is proud to add the restoration of the church to our portfolio and would like to extend a special thank you to the Warren Church community.

... In progress. Inn at the Mad River Barn

The Inn at the Mad River Barn is under new ownership and in the middle of a very impressive makeover with Birds Eye Construction and VT PRO.  Doors will open for business this winter.

Stay tuned for more.

Kramer Residence

  In September of this year the Vermont Pro construction and paint crews tackled the Kramer home in Warren to help give their home a well earned upgrade.  The project entailed a large amount of new siding, replacing exterior doors and trim, and a completely new color palette! The home's natural architecture shined through with the change to  a much lighter palette: a slate gray with a hint of blue, gray trim, and deep rich blue doors.  When it was all said and done VT Pro, was glad to turn over a completely new looking home to the Kramers!
