Naylor & Breen Builders

Naylor & Breen utilizes software based project scheduling, submittal schedules (with dates), which correspond to the construction schedule, and RFI tracking and management. Each of our project managers and superintendents maintains exceptional lines of communication to all parties involved, resulting in a well-executed and enjoyable project. Naylor & Breen recently completed the Salmon Run Apartment renovations in Winooski, Vermont. This general contracting project, under the direction of Champlain Housing Trust and Housing Vermont, involved extensive exterior and interior construction demolition, repair and rebuild on seven buildings containing a total of 80 residential apartments, as well as significant site work on a steep, tight, occupied property. We asked Sue Cobb, Senior Project Manager with Housing Vermont, about her experience with Naylor & Breen on this project. "Naylor & Breen did an excellent job renovating the buildings, coordinating subcontractors, providing paperwork, and proactively managing the project to minimize change orders. Tanner Romano (Project Manager) and Kerry Wetmore (Superintendent) are intelligent, flexible, respectful, and honest, and they communicated well with the design team. They are seasoned professionals with an incredible amount of practical experience and construction knowledge; their involvement and advice enabled the development team to make well informed decisions. The administrative staff at Naylor & Breen are organized, detailed and responsive. Stacy Hotte dealt with the volumes of paperwork required for Section 3 and WACTO compliance for the City of Burlington. Marcia Lertola worked with Tanner to prepare accurate payment applications and lien releases. Both were always pleasant even when handling difficult deadlines or unexpected requests from funders. The buildings and site that Naylor & Breen renovated are beautiful and have been a positive influence on the community and the tenants who live at Salmon Run. One of the most telling tests of a project is the sentiment of the team at the end of the job - we worked together for over a year, with a complicated relocation plan, tight project budget, lots of unforeseen conditions, and still, I was truly sorry to see the Salmon Run renovations end." Naylor & Breen is committed to ensuring that every client ends every project positive about their working experience with us and looks forward to working with us again in the near future.
