Design and Build Companies in Mount Vernon, ME

“Steve was a great partner to work with on our recent net zero Design/Build collaboration! Steve was able to take our detailed list of design requirements and create an incredibly functional home plan that ultimately satisfied all of our needs and desires. Highlights of our project included: - The final home plan was the product of a highly collaborative and iterative design process that relied upon 3D renderings and walkthroughs to test and review the plan at each stage of design. This allowed us to validate the plan and, where necessary, make adjustments before construction actually started. We can honestly say that there is nothing material we would change about the design. - Steve’s extensive background in modular and net zero construction ensured an extremely energy-efficient home (HERS score of 11) - Our building envelope presented some interesting positional challenges that Steve was able to solve elegantly and efficiently. - Steve not only accommodated our desire to do the interior finishing work (i.e., cabinetry, tiling, flooring, painting, etc.) ourselves, but in fact actively facilitated our ability to do so by adjusting his build plan to complete our workshop well before the rest of the house was completed. We love our new home and cannot recommend Steve highly enough! Juergen and Joan Renger Freeport, ME”

“I contacted Evan Dyer initially to look at building a Post and Beam home in Camden, Me. After looking at the entire project, I decided to purchase and existing home. I asked Evan if he would look at an existing Post and Beam house and review the renovations I wanted. He met me at the house and walked me through the areas of concern and things to consider in renovating a Post and Beam home. (Trust me there are major differences.) Based on working with Evan I felt I could purchase the home and do the renovations within my budget. I contracted with Evan to manage the renovations. He was responsive, had good ideas and was able to provide an insight that is unique to Post and Beam construction. I would definitely higher him to renovate or build a Post and Beam home in the future.”

“Maguire remodeled our 1900 home in Cape Elizabeth and rebuilt our lakeside cabin in Bridgton. Their teams were professional, the work was impeccable, and everything was completed on time and within the estimated budgets. The detail work they did on some of the railings and trim was ingenious. As icing on the cake, the neighbors had only positive things to say about their interactions with Maguire's team.”

“We have hired LakeHouse Design Build for several major projects at our lakeside cabin in Belgrade, Maine, and have been thrilled with the work done. Projects included a complete rebuild of portions of the main floor, including a new entrance porch, redesigned kitchen, bathroom, interior stairways, shelving, wiring updates, exterior patio, exterior stairways, and others. The work done was based on our wishes and requirements, but the design and details primarily reflected Mr. Bill Hudson's unique skills as a builder and designer. He was able to identify options that did not occur to us, and came up with designs that preserved the old camp character of the building while incorporating the modernization and comfort we sought. He was very skilled at managing modifications to cope with engineering and other challenges discovered in dealing with an 80+ year old cabin. Mr. Hudson's work reflects a remarkable attention to detail and quality. He is meticulous, careful, and will not accept poor quality work or materials. He does virtually all the work himself or with some assistance, and does not leave things to subcontractors in his absence. He communicated with us frequently and in detail, including regular photo project reports. He promptly involved us in any decisions, changes, or other planning information as the project progressed. His results have been wonderful for us - and are the source of constant favorable comments from neighbors, visitors, and others. We initially learned of his work from several neighbors whose projects reflected similar quality work from him. After researching area contractors before engaging this work, I had no doubt he was the best choice for our projects. We would hire him again for additional work without hesitation, and I have no reservations in recommending him to others.”

“John and his team are renovating our home in Waldoboro, Maine, and we couldn't be happier with the progress. The team has been wonderful to work with, involving us in every aspect of the job and really listening to our requests and dreams for our home. We are still a few months away from completion but already we know that it will be even more beautiful than we envisioned.”

“Materials and workmanship were excellent. Fit and finish looked great. Peter Rice and crew listened very well and undertook modifications to the plans as we wished or as conditions such as terrain or prevailing winds or sun direction required. After 10 percent of the way through the construction project, I had complete confidence in Peter Rice to the point i didn't need to visit the site too frequently.”

“Rocy met with us when we were in the planning phase of our project to discuss our needs and helped us figure out which of their products would be the best solution. We are thrilled with our Hobbit Hole Garden Shed! It has just the right amount of space for storing our hand tools and gardening supplies, and it's a beautiful addition to the landscape.”

“Joe and his company remodeled two bathrooms for me and have done a variety of other repair and remodeling projects around the house. He is courteous, professional, and very conscientious. He managed the projects from start to finish - plumbers, electricians, cabinet work, tiling, enclosures, etc.. I am very satisfied with the quality of work and standard of care and now think of Joe as our go-to-guy for any carpentry and home projects.”

“Time and time again the Knickerbocker Group has impressed us with their amazing work ethic, passion, and overall drive to do the best possible jobs they can for the clients!”
