Our Lake Home Construction Services
Full Custom Lake Home Construction
We manage every phase of your lake home build. This includes design coordination, site preparation, foundation work, framing, plumbing, electrical, and all interior and exterior finishes. If you already have plans, we can build from them. If not, we can help guide the design process from the ground up.
Lake Cottages and Waterfront Cabins
Looking for a classic Maine lake cottage or a cozy waterfront cabin. We build both. Whether your style is rustic, traditional, or modern, we create inviting spaces that feel connected to the water and surrounding landscape.
Garages, Additions, and Custom Features
Many lake homes benefit from additional features such as garages, guest cottages, boathouses, decks, porches, and outdoor living spaces. We can design and build custom additions and structures to enhance your lake property and improve daily living.
Exterior Work, Roofing, and Siding
Lakefront homes require strong exterior protection from moisture, snow, wind, and temperature changes. We install durable roofing, siding, trim, and weather-resistant materials to protect your investment and maintain long-term curb appeal.
Dedicated Project Management and Client Care
From your first consultation through the final walk-through, we focus on honesty, communication, and accountability. You will always know what to expect, what the next step is, and how the project is progressing.
