"Justin/JRA did a fantastic job installing new flooring and stairs. He was meticulous and thorough. While a tad expensive, it was absolutely worth the price paid and you get what you pay for. We will use them again for future projects."

"As someone building a second home in Vt., everything needed to be done from a 235 mile distance. This can feel a little scary. My experience w/ Joe was Outstanding!!! Joe approaches all his tasks whether it be contract work or time & material work w/ the same set of ethics. Get it done in a timely fashion, be fair, communicate clearly, take regular pics, send via text for approval or comment, & offer advice through his experience as a seasoned builder. If you are lucky enough to work w/ Joe, enjoy the experience, your in good hands. Bill Giglio from Ct."

"Mac did an outstanding job replacing our poured concrete sidewalk. He was able to do the work quickly, on budget and the result was outstanding! Mac was great to work with...no problems communicating with him. We wanted to make sure our project was done with minimal impact to our yard and Mac did a great job in that regard. He also cleaned up after the work was done. I would recommend Sullivan Stone (Mac is the owner) without hesitation! We're planning another project for next year and I will definitely reach out to Sullivan Stone to assist us with that as well!"

"I am over the moon with the quality of work with my deck. Matt and his crew made it easy to get along with them and the communication. They exceeded my expectations to no end. They will be my forever contractor and I consider them family. The quality of my deck is spot on, and they also installed a new door to my garage. I just cannot say enough good things about Matt's company. Such down to earth and kind human beings. Great work, great company and overall, they know exactly what they are doing. I will have them back soon to do some other things this Fall and thru the Winter. I am blessed to have found them. Thanks Matt for making my deck a dream come true!!!! Finally found a contractor who knows what they are doing!!"

"Mike's actual cost came in below his estimate and he passed the savings on to me. He protected my flooring and home siding. The door framing was a perfect fit and the door was in quickly."

"My wife and I have owned our first home for several years now. The biggest hurdle we have had being a homeowner is finding reliable and/or quality contractors. Having a house is enough of an expense without having to pay for the same project twice. Finding Damian was a blessing in disguise. It is exciting to be a homeowner again as I spend time on my new favorite space, my new deck from Blue Ridge Builders. I had a custom bench idea I threw at him for that space as well, and he built what I had in mind and then some. Even drove up to Burlington to get special paneling for it. Words can not express how much we love the deck, the price, the professionalism, just the whole experience. If you want it done right for a fair price call Blue Ridge."
Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
