Remodeling & construction across Penobscot County

In-law suites, garages, sunrooms, room additions and new homes. Larger projects like these we take on anywhere in Maine and New Hampshire.

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.

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.

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.

Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the roof and the water refreezes at the colder eaves, backing up under the shingles. We repair the damage and look at the causes — roof underlayment at the eaves, attic insulation and ventilation, and gutters.

Watch for curling, cracked or missing shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, stains on the ceilings or in the attic, and leaks after heavy rain or snowmelt. We'll inspect it at the estimate visit and tell you whether a repair or a replacement makes sense.
