Jerry and Barb - South Hero

Let me start by saying, I was a home building contractor for a number of years and never had anyone build a house for me. In 1993 I retired and now spend six months in Florida. In 2005 we decided to sell our house in South Hero in order to down size and take advantage of the housing market. My wife, Barbara and I decided to have a smaller house built while we were in Florida for the winter. I do not return to Vermont in the winter, except for emergencies; therefore we needed a reputable builder. One of our friends had Bob's Company do some remodeling work and consequently his son had Bob build a house for him on Lake Champlain. We saw the completed house and were impressed. Upon meeting with Bob, we found he was very professional and we could be kept informed via e-mail, showing pictures of progress, receiving billings, making selection of plumbing fixtures, paint colors, etc and asking and answering questions.
 
Our contract was for a fixed price with allowances for certain categories. In the end, the final cost was below the contract price, very well done and in general, we are very pleased with the final product and relationship with Bob. In case you wonder about "in general", you must realize that no two builders will do everything the same and when you are not on site for six months, things might not be done exactly as you would do it.
 
Barb and I highly recommend Bickford Construction and would use Bob's company again should we build another house."
