This addition was built by dismantling a barn and moving its timber frame to the present location. The beams were taken apart and each connection was assigned a letter and number for seamless reassembly. This added living space to an 18th century farmhouse, creating a multi-level great room with a loft and an accessory garage on the lower level.

These homeowners love old farmhouses and enjoy designing their own space. They salvaged and reused as much as possible from the original house. A period style, 2-story addition on the backside is new, and the main house was rebuilt with several green products and energy saving techniques making it a snug home for all seasons.

This is a home that experienced an entire makeover. The homeowners came to us with a long list of needs, requirements and ideas for a whole house renovation and a substantial new addition. No surface was untouched and many rooms were relocated. The home was expanded from 2186 square feet to 3247 square feet.

This is a very fascinating home. Restored in the front to replicate its early 1800s design, the back was designed with more modern details to accommodate the beautiful views of the mountains and the terrain of the land. The interiors were finished, and the end result is a delightful rendition of blending the original with the lifestyle additions of the current owners.

This Vermont farmhouse needed a major makeover. Appreciating the simple lines of the vernacular, the idea was to make it “true”, and restore it, but not to change the overall look of the house. The interior was also renovated including a beautiful eat-in kitchen, refinished floors, extra bathrooms and restored fireplaces.

Vermont has some beautiful barns that are part of the landscape and worthy of renovation. Located on a back road, this beautiful structure has been renovated for its current use of housing a business. The McKernon Group understands the structure of barns and has the ability to properly renovate these antique structures.

This historic one room schoolhouse was raised and given a new foundation. It was renovated inside and out to become a wonderful guesthouse for visitors including a small kitchen, sitting area and sleeping area.

A garage is a practical addition for this part of the country, and the design and placement is important for the overall look of the house. Approaching from the front of the house, you hardly notice the garage addition. This couple also chose to do some major renovations to the back and exterior of the house because of the lovely view and now this mountainside home sits more appropriately in its setting.

This is an inherited lakeside vacation home and the owners did not want the outside to change. They wanted the exterior restored to bring it back to its original shine. Much more than just a house to its owners, it is full of a lifetime of memories. We worked carefully with our clients’ vision in order to achieve the final results.

Many of the old homes were built very close to the roads, so when the owners went from vacationers to full-timers, they chose to build an addition in the back for privacy and additional living space. The 3 story addition melds into the style of the farmhouse and it adds spaciousness to the smaller rooms typically found in old houses. A new kitchen was installed, the garage was moved, and trees were transplanted.

This is a third generation country home located on a dirt road and surrounded by pastures. The owners chose to move the house back from the road and added a spacious addition which includs a bedroom, bath and office.

A rustic log cabin style home was redesigned with major exterior and interior changes. The unique arch entrance was made in our cabinet shop along with the new kitchen cabinets and baths. Keeping it simple and open with clean lines, stone and wood, the changes made in this house were a great plan for a growing family.
