First Chair Contracting was founded by Mamoudou Thiam with a simple belief:
Do the job right the first time.

Based in Vermont, First Chair Contracting provides reliable general contracting, renovation, and property support services built on craftsmanship, communication, and accountability.

The name “First Chair” reflects a mindset — showing up early, being prepared, and setting the standard for quality work. Just like the first chair up the mountain, we believe in leading from the front.

Mamoudou brings a hands-on, owner-operated approach to every project. Clients work directly with the person responsible for the results — no middle layers, no confusion. Clear expectations, honest timelines, and clean work.

We specialize in:

• Residential renovations

• Repairs and small projects

• Property management support

• General contracting services

Every project — large or small — is approached with professionalism and long-term thinking. The goal isn’t just to complete work. It’s to build trust.
