If you're considering building or renovating a home, Brett Vaughn of Homes by Vonderosa is the expert you need on your side. Here's why:
In 2009, our family purchased a beautiful property with 3 acres on the Souhegan River in Merrimack, NH. The property came with a small ranch home built in the 1950s. While the existing home was charming, it wasn't meeting our needs. We wanted to enhance the property further, so in 2010, we decided to build a barn and reached out to Brett Vaughn. Barn Project Success: Brett's approach was exactly what we were looking for. He guided us through every option, ultimately helping us create a stunning Shiplap Post and Beam Barn, approximately 50 x 38 feet. The barn included three double-deep garage bays, a work area, and an upstairs office. Brett’s attention to detail, including the addition of a beautiful copula, gave the barn an authentic New England touch. The project was completed on a cost-plus basis, allowing us to stay within budget while making adjustments as needed. Brett handled everything from permits to subcontractors, ensuring the project progressed smoothly and on time. The result was a barn that not only met but exceeded our expectations, offering ample storage for our landscaping business and a beautiful workspace.
Home Renovation Success: Inspired by the success of the barn, we decided to renovate the old ranch house in 2014. Initially, we considered a modest roof-raising project but, under Brett's guidance, opted for a more extensive renovation. Brett proposed leveling the main body of the old house while retaining the basement level and foundation. He then constructed a modern, two-story Cape-style home with a spacious master bedroom suite, additional bedrooms and a loft upstairs, and a living room annex. We also added a two-car garage with a bonus room above. Again, Brett’s cost-plus approach gave us the flexibility to adjust the plan as the project evolved, and his transparency ensured there were no unpleasant surprises. The result was a beautiful, spacious Cape home that perfectly complemented our new barn.
Why Choose Brett Vaughn:
- Flexibility and Transparency: Brett’s cost-plus contracting approach allowed us to establish a budget, benefit from his contractor discounts, and make changes as needed without stress.
- Attention to Detail: Whether it was the authentic New England touches on our barn or the thoughtful design of our renovated home, Brett’s work consistently impressed.
- Smooth Project Management: Brett managed all aspects of the projects, from permits to subcontractors, ensuring timely completion with no unexpected issues.
- Outstanding Results: Both our barn and renovated home are not only functional but also beautiful, receiving compliments from everyone who visits.
For anyone considering building or renovating a home, we highly recommend Brett Vaughn of Homes by Vonderosa. His expertise, integrity, and dedication to quality make him an exceptional choice for your project.
