What Sets Our Construction Services Apart
We Work With Real Budgets and Real Timelines
We are known throughout Androscoggin and Cumberland Counties for giving honest quotes, realistic timelines, and clear communication. Homeowners work with us because we manage the design process, permitting, scheduling, subcontractors, materials, and project execution in one coordinated timeline. You'll know what's happening every week, what stage we're in, and what tasks are coming up soon.
No Delays. We Can Start Right Away
Unlike many builders who are booked months out, we can begin your project immediately. That means no waiting lists, no missed seasons, and no delays on long-anticipated home upgrades. Once we've reviewed your goals, we'll set a start date and move quickly through permitting, material orders, and prep work.
One Contractor for All Phases of Work
Our crew includes framers, finish carpenters, roofing pros, foundation and concrete specialists, and experienced remodelers. Whether you're opening up an old kitchen, building an ADU in the backyard, or taking a house down to the studs, we keep the project moving with minimal handoffs. Our in-house coordination helps avoid the delays and miscommunications that often come with hiring multiple trades.

Custom Home Construction
We design and build custom homes that fit the character of Portland's neighborhoods and the needs of your family. Many of our projects combine traditional New England architecture with high-efficiency framing, modern insulation packages, and layouts designed for how people actually live. From two-story colonials to compact modern homes, we manage the full build—from excavation and foundation to roofing, siding, and trim.
Home Additions and Second-Story Expansions
We build all types of home additions, including garage conversions, sunrooms, in-law suites, and full second-story expansions. In Portland, zoning requirements and historic overlays often shape how and where you can expand. We handle design work, permitting, and construction so that your addition ties into the home structurally and visually.
Remodeling and Renovations
Our remodeling services cover kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole floors, and more. Many Portland homes have uneven framing, dated systems, or poor layout flow. We specialize in projects that require reframing, electrical upgrades, plumbing reconfiguration, and full interior finishing. If you're gutting an older home or updating a property you just purchased, we can walk you through all your options and bring it up to modern standards.
Concrete, Foundations, and Excavation
From new footings to full basement foundations, we provide structural concrete services for new homes, additions, and accessory structures. We also repair and rebuild cracked or bowing foundation walls, pour slabs for garages and sheds, and handle excavation for utility tie-ins. Every concrete project is designed to meet local frost-depth, drainage, and load requirements.
Decks, Porches, and Outdoor Living
We build decks and covered porches that extend your living space and stand up to Portland's climate. Whether you prefer pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composite decking, we'll build a structure that meets local code and enhances your home's function. Covered porches can include lighting, electrical outlets, and even heating elements for year-round use.
