The McKernon Group

The McKernon Group is a residential and light commercial design/build firm based in Brandon, Vermont founded in the late "80's". They provide a complete range of services from small renovations and modest-sized houses to large custom homes with a significant emphasis on green technology. With over sixty employees, McKernnon is well-equipped to work on projects from site planning to interior finish throughout all of Vermont, eastern New York and western Massachusetts.

The company has a longstanding commitment to helping clients reduce their home energy usage through both passive and active methods. McKernon's subsidiary, Green Earth Energy, promotes solar electric and hot water and wind power turbine installations.

A second subsidiary, Urethane Foam Operations (since 1968), installs closed-cell spray foam providing a superior product to seal the exterior from air and moisture infiltration, provide high R-value insulation, and strengthen the building frame.

They have their own woodworking capability through another subsidiary, Vermont Woodland Cabinets, crafters of fine wood cabinet designs for kitchens and baths, and other architectural millwork, including moldings, trim, bookcases, flooring, and furniture all with an eye toward being functional and affordable. Where possible, VWC uses local Vermont lumber from sustainable forests.
