Village Building & Restoration has been building and remodeling homes Since 1974. While we pride ourselves on our skills and professionalism, we owe our longevity to our clients. Quite simply, a large percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. I think that says everything. My name is Jim Whittemore and I am the owner of Village Building and Restoration. Over the years I have served as general contractor for building new homes, cabinetmaker for small renovation projects, and everything in-between.

Do you have dreams for a new home, or are you facing the need for a major replacement of a home component (roofing, siding, windows, heating/cooling)? Do you know where to start? If you'd like to use the experience that I've developed during my 44 years in home construction, remodeling and subcontracting to find reputable and reliable contractors, this program could work for you. Accurately assessing the scope of a construction or remodeling project and estimating the labor and material necessary to complete it derives much of the cost beyond the actual materials involved.

Although we have been in the business of building and remodeling for 46 years, we recognize that this might be your first experience with a building contractor. We have two goals: to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you and to make sure you are happy with the results. Within 24 hours we will contact you to get more details about what you want done, when you would like it to happen and how much you are considering investing in this project. The next step is for Jim Whittemore to meet you in person, with all decision makers present.
