Building homes we know you’ll love.

Apple Tree Builders is a full-service general construction firm focused on residential projects in Southern Vermont, especially Marlboro, Wilmington, Dover, Newfane and Brattleboro.

Founded by Jason MacArthur in 2020, we are committed to building homes that are efficient, sustainable, and beautiful. We use local and natural materials wherever possible, and apply global best-practices to our region’s climate, supply chain, and economic factors.

We are always interested in a new creative challenges, from a green roof bike shed to a historic home remodel or a brand new construction. If you’ve got something in mind, we’d love to chat.

Our Story

Jason MacArthur grew up in a building family. His father Dan — as well as various nearby relatives, neighbors and friends — built dozens of area homes. After a career that included a successful craft cider business, Jason returned to his roots and began building homes large and small.

To accomplish your project, ABT leverages close relationships with top-notch subcontractors throughout Southern Vermont and New Hampshire. From complex electrical or geothermal installations, to custom cabinetry or standing-seam metal roofs, we have you covered.
