“We gutted & re-configured our kitchen and our contractor/builder of choice was Blue Spruce Joinery. Our overall experience was wonderful. Not only was the work of the highest quality but Tom Higbee's assistance with the design was extremely helpful. He was able to make our ideas a reality but at the same time point out what ideas wouldn't work. When that was the case, the alternatives he provided were in line with our vision of our dream kitchen. Tom and his crew were at our house when they committed to be, stayed within the budget we set, finished the project in a timely manner and left our new kitchen clean. My husband and I love to cook and after three years are still in love with the kitchen Blue Spruce Joinery created for us.”

“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!”

“Aaron and Jennifer Newcomb were very easy to work with. We knew what we wanted and even picked out a plan. The plan was engineered for a different climate. Aaron "reworked" the plan and made it work for our new family home. We couldn't be happier with our home.”

“I am lucky to count myself as a lifelong customer of Lorraine Construction. I have known of Marc Lorraine since I was in high school and met his kids, Bennett and Henry. What I didn’t know back then was that he was a brilliant designer with a vast knowledge of construction and a true gift for building exceptionally crafted bespoke homes, while still watching out for your bottom line. Marc built and designed my dream house with me. “With" being the operative word, because Marc and his team of designers and builders did for me what I couldn’t find in other builders and designers: a true willingness to listen and collaborate with you, incorporating your ideas along with insights that Marc gleans from getting to know you and your lifestyle. In the end, he puts all of this together into one cohesive design that works for you, your budget, and your design aesthetic, creating a beautifully designed and built home. Marc’s team also worked tirelessly to come up with innovative ways to save money, thereby allowing me to splurge on other areas of the house during the building process. Plus, Marc’s leadership and expertise in green building practices continues to save me money every year—I have yet to turn on my air conditioning in the summer and my heating bill in the winter dwarfs those of my friends and their new houses. Marc’s team of professionals never ceased to surprise me, paying particular attention to my scheduling needs and construction timeline, completing all work ahead of schedule and under budget. Marc is definitely the most creative person I know—he has an incredible openness to trying new things and exploring with unique materials that push the boundaries of the design world. Moreover, Marc’s many connections in the building industry and with his suppliers gives him priority in materials deliveries, which helped to keep your construction costs down and eliminates delays in the building process. I have Marc and his team to thank for designing and building my dream home, which to this day still puts a smile on my face and anyone who visits. From design to construction, Lorraine Construction is simply unbeatable. Marc treats every project, big or small, as if it were something for his own home, making himself available at all hours to ensure the best building and design experience you will ever experience. When I hear my friends complain about their home building experience and the hassles and headaches they’re experiencing, I realize just how lucky I was to have Lorraine Construction design and build my home. Not only do I have great memories from the design and building phases, but I also made friends for life. I couldn’t be happier with Lorraine Construction and his whole team. Thank you!”

“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.”
