Renovations & Remodeling
Basement finishing, additions, and reworking builder-standard layouts in Williston's newer homes.
Serving Williston, Vermont
General Contractor in Williston, Vermont
Williston has grown faster than almost anywhere in Chittenden County, and most of its homes are young enough that the work here is about adding, finishing, and personalising rather than fixing what's failing. I'm Tim Chila, and I've been building in Vermont for over 50 years.
What We Do
Building On and Finishing Williston Homes
Most of Williston's housing went up from the 1990s onward, out through the subdivisions past Taft Corners and along the roads that were farmland a generation ago. That changes what people call us for. These aren't houses with a century of hidden problems, they're houses that were built to a builder's plan rather than to the family living in them.
So the work here is mostly adding and improving: finishing the basement that was left as a shell, adding the room the family has outgrown the house without, replacing builder-grade cabinets with something actually made for the space. A newer home gives you a solid starting point, which means the money goes into the finish work instead of into fixing what's behind the walls.
Williston also still has real land, so ground-up builds are on the table here in a way they aren't in the denser parts of the county. Whatever the project, you get an open-book estimate before we start and one person accountable for the whole thing.
