Forthright Construction serves Shelburne Vermont — an affluent lakeside community with a strong mix of residential estates, farms, and Route 7 commercial development. Whether you're a general contractor, property owner, developer, or homeowner, we bring the same standard to every project: clear scope, honest pricing, and work that holds up.
We're a licensed and insured Vermont contractor based in Hinesburg, serving Chittenden County and communities across the state. Our crews work on commercial and residential projects of all sizes — from single-family roofing and deck builds to multi-trade commercial fit-outs and storefront installations.

Why Shelburne Contractors and Property Owners Work with Forthright
Shelburne is an affluent lakeside community with a strong mix of residential estates, farms, and Route 7 commercial development. Projects here require a contractor who understands the local market, shows up on schedule, and communicates clearly — whether you're a GC managing a commercial build at Shelburne Farms or a homeowner replacing a roof before winter.
Forthright brings a background that's unusual in the trades: our founder came from business operations and marketing, not construction. That means project management, documentation, and client communication aren't afterthoughts — they're built into how we work. We respond to messages, flag issues before they become problems, and deliver clean closeout packages that GCs can actually use.
We're fully licensed and insured for commercial and residential work in Vermont, and we carry the certificates and documentation that Chittenden County GCs and property managers require.
Serving Shelburne and Surrounding Communities
From our base in Hinesburg, we serve Shelburne and the broader Chittenden County market, including surrounding towns and communities throughout the region. For projects outside Chittenden County, we assess travel and staging at the estimate stage — we're transparent about what that costs and whether it makes sense for your project.
