Integrity Honesty Detail

Whether it is a small project that requires advanced attention to detail, highly creative problem solving or acute tools to accomplish the difficult; or a large project beholden to careful management of people and machines, we love the challenge and detail-focused mindfulness required for successful execution.

Evan Schleif is a second generation carpenter, designer and builder. Building beautiful and ecologically responsible structures is a passion.

Evan has a resume in the construction world that begins at age 12, working for his father Rudy Schleif and Expansion and Design in the Boston area.

This journey has taken him from places such as California for flowing, curved concrete walls in a wheel chair accessible garden park to the US Virgin Islands for tropical rot-resistant low-impact, eco resort construction.

The path has lead to project managing gwo-million dollar historically-designated Victorian homes with glass spa houses and geothermal heating systems in Boston to milling lumber and designing Japanese influenced curved barns in rural Vermont.

There have been winters creating sun-tracking solar fields atop mountains in the North East Kingdom and summers consulting and cladding homes in the highest performance and most ecological exterior materials possible.

Currently, Evan is chair of the Vermont Technical Career Center advisory board, helping to guide the next generation of builders.

“Humankind can add to the beauty of the natural world through their structures, or take away. There is no in-between.”
