Chris Renouf
Project Manager
Chris grew up in Southern Vermont, moving North to attend college at UVM. Studying Political Science, Chris quickly found out what a nightmare that was and after college he instead turned his focus to construction.
Blending the relationship-building Chris loved about politics, and the satisfaction of creating real things that he found in construction, Chris takes pride in providing a professional and responsive point of contact for clients of Champlain Decks.
Along with Max and Adam, Chris founded Champlain Decks with the goal of being the go-to construction firm in the Champlain Valley for all outdoor living.
Adam Claussen
Design Manager
As co-founder and design manager, Adam strives to design projects that seamlessly blend a client’s lifestyle with their home and surrounding environment.
He has always had a passion for building, from bike ramps in the woods as a kid, to robotics as a teen, to woodworking and construction as an adult he has always had a project at hand.
After graduating from UVM Adam jumped into the millwork and construction trades to pursue the hands-on aspect of work that he had found most satisfying during his studies. With this background Adam likes to blend off the shelf components with custom elements to provide sleek but unique designs. He has an eye for the finer details and incorporates that in both his designs and project planning to ensure a smooth execution.
