Modern Construction, Inc. – Michael A. Pugliese
Founded in 2015, Modern Construction, Inc. is a Southern Vermont – based construction company specializing in custom homes, renovations, additions, and high-end modern rustic design. Our work blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary building techniques, creating homes and spaces that are both functional and visually striking.
Owner and Operator Michael A. Pugliese brings more than 21 years of construction experience to every project. Beginning his career as a laborer, Michael worked his way through the trades before becoming a Project Manager for a high-end construction company. This hands-on experience, combined with years of managing complex residential projects, provides clients with the knowledge, leadership, and attention to detail needed to successfully guide projects from concept to completion.
At Modern Construction, we believe building a home or renovation project should feel organized, transparent, and professional—not stressful or uncertain.
What sets us apart starts with communication. Through Buildertrend, detailed email updates, scheduled phone calls, Zoom meetings, and direct text access, our clients are never left guessing. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and why. We establish clear timelines, realistic expectations, and proactive milestones to ensure there are no surprises—only progress.
We combine that communication with modern building materials and advanced construction techniques that enhance durability, efficiency, and long-term value. We don’t just build to code—we build to outperform. From innovative structural systems to high-performance finishes, we stay ahead of industry standards to ensure your investment is protected for decades to come.
Most importantly, we are problem solvers. Construction projects are complex, and challenges are inevitable. The difference is how they’re handled. We think ahead, anticipate obstacles before they arise, and work proactively to protect your budget, schedule, and long-term investment. Our goal is not only to build exceptional spaces, but to make the entire process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
By partnering with the area’s most talented subcontractors, suppliers, and craftsmen, we deliver projects that reflect the highest standards of quality and attention to detail. The strong relationships we’ve built throughout the industry allow us to maintain efficient schedules, superior workmanship, and an exceptional client experience.
Proudly serving Manchester, Dorset, Arlington, Sandgate, and communities throughout Southern Vermont, Modern Construction is committed to bringing your vision to life—whether it’s a custom home, renovation, addition, kitchen, bath, or specialty project.
Building exceptional homes. Delivering an exceptional experience.
