"When people ask me what qualities they should look for in a builder, I always tell them that obviously they want someone who is experienced, competent and otherwise qualified as a builder, and who can back that experience and qualification up with references from past clients. But I also tell them that above all, they should choose a builder whom they would feel comfortable calling at any time during the process with whatever questions or concerns they might have, and know that they will be treated with respect, and a thoughtful and understanding response. That builder is Chris Nichols.

When I first met Chris several years ago, I knew at once that he was not your typical textbook builder. His openness, honesty and sensitivity to historic detailing were apparent at our initial meeting, and after twenty some homes built with Connor Homes he has consistently and continually reaffirmed my initial assessment of him as a stand up builder doing high quality work and service for his customers with a business demeanor that is friendly, helpful and cooperative.

While Chris has a great eye for historic details, I have also come to respect his ability to locate and site homes on difficult terrain, something he has done often and successfully on the difficult landscape of the building lots he routinely deals with. This attribute has served his customers well as he has so often attended to the difficult task of placing and landscaping a traditional home on what are often some not so traditional building sites, and the results are typically quite stunning.

If I were to build a home today, and needed a builder, I would turn to Chris without hesitation, knowing that not only would I have a qualified and honest businessman looking after my project, but also someone whose interest and enthusiasm for the project would coincide with my own, making the process truly a partnership with the common goal of a successful and satisfying build and a pleasant and lasting relationship."

"What amazes me the most is the amount of care and attention to detail that was displayed by CG Nichols Builders. Chris was involved from the very beginning before the design was finalized and was there until the very end making sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend CG Nichols builders without hesitation."

"For years we dreamt about having a vacation home in Vermont. Chris Nichols helped make that dream come true! He was an integral part of the process in so many ways and held our hand every step of the way beginning with advice on lot selection all they way through to the final walk through. Although we were over 300 miles away, Chris was always just a phone call, an email, or phone photo away! Chris and each of his subcontractors were always so professional, courteous, flexible and responsive. He embraces each house with as much enthusiasm and pride as the homeowner. We just love our house and would proudly recommend Chris for any project."
