"...we remain just as thrilled with the work he did as when he built the house almost 20 years ago!!"
-Sue Nielson, Hinesburg
Joseph Peden, the builder, is on site, every day working
side-by-side with his own crew and subcontractors and only works on one job at a time until completion.
Joe started in construction while in high school. Since then he has completed complex remodeling projects from adding first and second floors to new construction of expensive camps and high-end homes. Although he is in the process of becoming certified as a green builder he was ahead of his time when he remodeled an old house on Spear Street where he converted existing roof planes into new walls, sheathing and all. He is very interested in passive homes.
