Frequently Asked Questions
How can we help you with your next Maine based exterior services, building or home improvement project? We would love to hear from you. All of our clients are a top priority. We prioritize providing high-quality services for each and every project.
We're based in Central Maine and work throughout the Kennebec Valley, including Augusta, Waterville, Hallowell, Winslow, Oakland and the surrounding towns. We also take on projects well beyond that, from Lewiston, Auburn and Brunswick to Damariscotta and the midcoast, along with smaller communities like Palermo, Somerville, Washington, Jefferson, Bristol and East Boothbay. If you don't see your town on the list, give us a call at (207) 592-3911. Chances are we already work in your area.
Yes. Every quote is free and there's no obligation. Fill out the form on any page of this site or call us, and we'll get in touch to schedule a time to walk the project with you. We'd rather see it in person than guess at it over the phone.
Roofing and siding are set prices, based on square footage and the scope of the project. All other work is priced on labor plus materials. Either way, you'll get a clear breakdown before we start, with no vague numbers and no surprises at the end.
We're fully insured, and every one of our operators is experienced and covered. Maine doesn't require a general contractor's license for most residential work, which is exactly why it pays to ask about insurance. A lot of low quotes come from crews that don't carry it. We're happy to send our certificate before you sign anything.
It depends on your roof and your budget. Asphalt shingles are the most common choice because they're affordable, low maintenance and available in a wide range of colors. Metal is the strongest performer in our climate. It sheds snow easily, stands up to high wind, and won't rot or attract insects, with most manufacturer warranties running 20 to 50 years. Composite shingles sit in between, and won't split, peel, warp or crack. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your specific home.
Most residential asphalt roof replacements are a single day. Siding and window jobs typically run a few days to a week depending on the size of the house. Garages, additions and full remodels are scheduled individually, and we'll give you a realistic window up front and keep you posted if anything changes. Efficient scheduling and clear communication are two of the things our customers mention most.
Yes, and this is where we're different from most contractors. We run our own excavation equipment, so we can clear the land, build the road or driveway, dig and backfill the foundation, install the septic, and then frame, roof and finish the building. One company, one point of contact, from bare lot to finished structure.
Both. Exteriors are the bulk of what we do, but we also handle kitchen and bath remodels, living space renovations and full interior overhauls. Plenty of our projects start as a roof or siding job and grow from there.
Late spring through fall is ideal for roofing, siding and decking, and that's also our busiest stretch, so booking early gets you the schedule you want. Metal roofing and many repairs can be done in colder months, and winter is a good time to plan a spring or summer build. Excavation and site work depend on ground conditions, so reach out and we'll tell you what's realistic.
