The hands of labor are the wings of the soul....

 Heart and Soul Construction is based out of Guilford, VT.  

  We create kitchen & bathroom remodels, additions, decks, flooring installation,  
          custom cabinets, yurts, and creative cabins - or whatever you desire! - we actually really like small jobs!

We consider it an honor to work in your home, shaping the spaces where you relax after a long day, prepare 
          and eat your meals, raise your family - and live your life.  

Our priority is to provide high-quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price.  

Currently we are not booking any new jobs.

I have been working with wood for the past 11 years and have a wide range of carpentry experience - from remodeling and home improvements to working in a custom furniture shop.  I enjoy fixing a stubborn door or patching a hole in the wall just as much as I do making and installing cabinets.  I really like small jobs too!  Is there an area in your house that is constantly cluttered?  I can design a storage solution to organize your stuff.  I keep my overhead low which allows me to work for a reasonable rate while still taking pride in a beautiful finished product.  

In addition to working on "square" houses, I also design and build wooden taper-wall yurts.  More substantial than the common vinyl covered lattice wall yurts, wooden taper-wall yurts are completely insulated and surrounded by windows.  In the summer of 2014 we built a large 3-story yurt in Maine with a crew averaging 12 for the Wehrweins (background of photo at left). 

Visit dickinsonsreachyurts.com if you'd like a custom design or a set of pre-printed plans.  I learned most of what I know about yurts by building and laughing with Bill Coperthwaite for six years.  A group of us have recently released a website to carry forward inspirations we shared with Bill - you can see it here.

I live in Guilford, VT with my wife Nika and daughter Ella.  On days off if I'm not carving a spoon, I enjoy growing food in the gardens, orchard, and woodlot of our homestead.
