# Red House Building — Employee-Owned Custom Home Builder in Colchester, VT

Red House Building has operated out of Colchester since restructuring as an employee-owned cooperative in 2003, after roughly a decade as a smaller custom building firm. The structure is worth knowing: employees who stay three or more years can buy in, and more than half the current crew of around 30 hold ownership stakes. That tends to produce a different kind of job site. They take on custom homes, additions, renovations, light commercial fit-ups, and historic restoration across a wide service area — most of their work falls within about a 90-minute drive of Burlington.

## Services

- Custom new home construction
- Additions and major renovations
- Historic building restoration
- Light commercial fit-ups
- Full-service carpentry and finish work

## Service area

Colchester and Chittenden County, extending to Stowe, the Mad River Valley, Lake Champlain waterfront properties, and surrounding areas within 90 minutes of Burlington.

## Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews

An employee-owned cooperative with 30 craftspeople who can handle both historic restoration and new custom homes is a fairly unusual find in Vermont. For homeowners with a significant project — a full addition, a complex historic property — Red House has the crew depth to handle it without outsourcing the difficult parts.
