Build It Right, Built to Last
Whether you’re adding a sunroom to catch those precious summer months, replacing storm-damaged siding after a harsh winter, or finally tackling that bathroom remodel you’ve been planning, finding a general contractor who understands Vermont’s demanding climate and keeps projects on track is half the battle.
Many homeowners in Franklin County and Chittenden County spend months searching for someone who can handle the full scope of residential construction without cutting corners. Weather delays, material sourcing challenges, and tight seasonal windows make planning critical. As a construction company based right here in Swanton, DG Building knows these conditions firsthand. We handle everything from deck services and window installation to complete custom home building, basement remodeling, and exterior finishing. Our team shows up prepared, communicates clearly, and delivers work that lasts through Vermont’s winters and beyond.
You shouldn’t have to chase down a general contractor or worry about whether your project will stay on schedule. Let us handle the details.

Build Your Vision in Swanton, VT
From new decks to full remodels, we handle every phase of residential construction with local know-how.
As a full-service general contractor, DG Building manages residential construction projects of all sizes across Franklin County, Chittenden County, and Clinton County. That means you get one point of contact for everything: site assessment, permitting, material selection, skilled trades coordination, and final inspections. We handle deck construction that stands up to freeze-thaw cycles, window installation services that improve energy efficiency through Vermont winters, siding installation services using materials rated for moisture and temperature swings, and bathroom remodeling services that solve layout and ventilation challenges common in older homes.
Our residential carpentry services extend to custom trim work, shiplap walls, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and Douglas fir railings built to last. We’ve completed sunroom contractor projects that bring natural light into homes year-round, basement remodeling that turns damp spaces into usable square footage, and custom home building from foundation to finish. Every project begins with a walkthrough to identify site-specific factors: drainage patterns that affect deck footings, snow load requirements for roof additions, and access constraints that shape material delivery and staging.
We source materials locally when possible to reduce lead times and ensure compatibility with regional building codes. Our crews work efficiently during the short construction season, understanding that a June start can mean wrapping exterior work before October snow. Whether you’re expanding your footprint with an accessory building, refreshing your home’s curb appeal with exterior finishing and paint, or tackling a full remodeling contractor scope, we bring the same attention to detail and timeline accountability. You’ll know what’s happening at every stage, and we’ll handle the coordination so you don’t have to manage subcontractors or chase down inspections. That’s the value of working with a local construction company that’s built to handle Vermont’s demands.
Residential Construction for Vermont Conditions
From the first conversation to final walkthrough, we treat your project like it’s our own. We’ve built custom homes, renovated century-old structures, and added outdoor living spaces across Swanton, Plattsburgh, and the Lake Champlain islands. That experience means we anticipate challenges before they become delays, and we know how to adapt plans when conditions change.
Building Projects Built Right the First Time
You’re planning a major project, maybe a custom home, a full renovation, or an addition that requires serious structural work. You need a general contractor who understands Vermont building conditions, coordinates every trade seamlessly, and delivers work that lasts through decades of freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads.
Our construction services cover the full scope: from initial design consultation and permitting through foundation work, framing, exterior finishing, interior carpentry, and final trim. We handle residential construction projects including custom home building, accessory building construction, major remodels, deck construction, bathroom remodeling, and exterior finishing. Every project starts with a detailed plan, transparent timelines, and clear communication so you know exactly what to expect.
We coordinate all trades, manage inspections, and ensure code compliance throughout. Our residential carpentry services include custom trim work, built-ins, and finish details that make a house feel like home. Whether it’s siding installation services to protect against Vermont weather or window installation services that improve energy efficiency, we treat every element as part of a complete system.
When you work with us, you get a remodeling contractor who’s been building in Franklin County and the surrounding areas long enough to know which materials hold up and which suppliers deliver on time. We’ve managed everything from sunroom additions that capture lake views to basement remodeling projects that turn unused space into functional living areas. Our deck services include structural framing, custom railings like the Douglas fir designs we’ve built, and finishes that stand up to seasonal moisture.
We’re a home improvement contractor that shows up when scheduled, communicates changes immediately, and stands behind the work. You’ll work directly with the crew doing the build, not through multiple project managers. Call us at 8023704922 or email gortondaniels@gmail.com to discuss your project and get a realistic timeline and budget.
