What TANGUAY HOMES, INC. does

Tanguay Homes, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned building contractor established in 1992 by Tony Tanguay and headquartered in Newport, Vermont. Operating across Northern Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the company delivers custom home design and construction, renovations, additions, and specialty structures (post-and-beam, log homes, sunrooms, garages, sheds, standing seam roofing) with an emphasis on energy-efficient building envelopes suited to Vermont's climate, including cellulose insulation, Structural Insulated Panels, and Everloc standing seam metal roofing. Tony Tanguay personally designs and supervises all projects, and the firm caters to out-of-area clients through daily progress updates and flexible appointment scheduling.

Beyond construction, Tanguay Homes operates a vertically integrated real estate business under the Tanguay Rentals brand, encompassing residential apartments in Derby, VT and commercial properties in Newport, VT (including custom-built space leased to Portland Glass and ReMAX), as well as a direct "We Buy Homes" cash purchase service for distressed sellers (foreclosure, divorce, probate, inherited properties) with 72-hour closings and no realtor commissions. The company also resells owned building lots and renovated homes directly to buyers, and offers a rent-to-own pathway (up to $5,000 in rental credits toward purchase of a Tanguay-owned home). Revenue derives from one-time construction contracts, recurring rental income, transaction-based property acquisitions and resales, and ancillary service fees, all distributed through the company's own website and direct sales channels rather than third-party platforms.
