OWNER - LEAD CARPENTER

Northeast Kingdom native, Troy Hubbard, discovered his passion for carpentry at the age of 20. Accepting a job opportunity with SR Builders in St. John, VI, he then expanded upon his trade, honing his skills while being mentored by seasoned builders from around the world, gaining invaluable hands-on experience with a variety of carpentry techniques including fine woodworking, high-end finish work, and high-quality construction on some of the most exclusive properties the Caribbean has to offer. This created a knowledge base for Troy that evolved him into a leader and master carpenter.

In the summer of 2016, Troy moved back to Vermont to start a family. Today, he has two boys and a lovely wife. Since returning to Vermont, Troy has continued to expand professionally, most recently through his roles as Lead Carpenter and Site Supervisor on projects in Stowe, Waterbury, and the Mad River Valley with Roots Builders. In the coming years, Troy hopes to continue making dreams come true for homeowners in Vermont.
