Common questions
Do I need a building permit?+
Many projects do — additions, structural changes, new decks, and a lot of plumbing work usually need one. In Maine, permits are issued by your town's code enforcement office, and we pull permits when the town requires them.
What building code applies in Maine?+
The Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC) applies statewide, with enforcement handled by larger municipalities; smaller towns may handle inspections differently. We check with your town's code office at the start of the project.
What kinds of additions and new construction do you build?+
In-law suites, garages, sunrooms, room additions and new homes. Larger projects like these we take on anywhere in Maine and New Hampshire.
Why do foundations matter so much in Maine?+
Frost. Footings for additions, garages and even deck posts generally need to sit below the local frost line so the ground can't heave them in winter. Roofs on new construction also have to be framed for Maine snow loads.
Can you build or remodel in the winter?+
Interior remodeling goes on year-round. Foundation, roofing and other exterior work depends on the weather, so we plan those phases around the season and tell you up front how winter may affect the schedule.
I'm on a septic system — does that affect an addition?+
It can. Whether you're on septic or town sewer differs by town, and adding bedrooms or a bathroom on septic may require checking the system's capacity with the town. We look at this early so it doesn't hold up your permit.
