Best contractors near Alfred, ME

"Not being native Mainers, new to the area and not knowing any contractors or tradespeople in the area,  we had several unfortunate experiences in our initial attempts to identify a reliable contractor.  As our time spent at the camp was often short and/or sporadic,  we needed someone who would show up on schedule (while we were visiting the camp) and get the repairs done on time.  Dave did that. As we became more familiar with the quality of the work that Dave and his crew did, we felt secure in knowing that even if we weren't present, the work would still get done correctly.  This was a great relief to us. I don't recall Dave ever being late to the site, or the work taking longer or costing more than was originally agreed upon.  We found his prices to be extremely reasonable and the quality of the work to be very good. In honesty, I can't find any fault with the services he provided, and we would certainly use his services again (exclusively)."

"We have been extremely happy with the work done by Paradise Construction. Most recently, we contracted the reconstruction of our finished basement room following a water event and also had them rebuild our deck from the ground up. The company’s principal, Lance Paradis, is a very competent, exacting and professional builder. He keeps his customers well informed about the status of the projects, keeps to the agreed schedule and the quality of the work is always excellent. All permit inspections were met with no exceptions. We would recommend Paradise Construction and Lance Paradis very highly. Five stars!"

"Chris took my rough design, refined it and used his drawing for permitting and as a guide for subcontractors. Chris supervised excavation the foundation pour, utility connections and a variety of specialty contractors including plumbing and electrical, wallboard and plaster including the a very nice ceiling, windows and roofing. He did all the framing, rough and finish carpentry, flooring including tile, himself. There was no element of the build where he wasn’t intimately involved. Chris was considerate of my ideas, and enhanced and often expanded on the them. He was conscious of my budget and stretched my dollars without sacrificing quality. Two years later when a sliding door seal failed he replaced the door at no charge. My home is modest but “feels” bigger and more expensive than what it was. It is open concept with a lot of natural light. It takes advantage of passive solar heating and with my wood stove this 1800 square foot house makes it through the coldest winter without turning on the gas heat yet only consumed two cords of wood! It’s too bad Chris moved to the coast, contractors with integrity and skill are not easy to find. Our community’s loss, is Coastal Maine’s gain. I would be happy to recommend Chris to anyone in need of his many skills."

"We hired Garrett  to build an attached mudroom and garage to our home.  After interviewing many contractors, we decided to go with Garrett. Don't let his age  scare you. We found him to be hard working, honest, caring fair and professional.  We were very impressed with his quote. Everything was spelled out. None of our other quotes were broken down like Garrett's.  During the work if there was any issue, Garrett dealt with it immediately.      We would highly  recommend Garrett R Gerard Construction and if we build anything again we would definitely  use Garrett again."

"We had a very good experience working with Joe for our project. Joe and his team did an awesome job in the most difficult areas of our home. His efforts are greatly appreciated. The Customer Service provide, work provided and clean up were all done complete and professionally. We are currently looking to have Joe back to perform some other work for us. I would highly recommend Joe Lane Carpentry. Thank you for the great job...."

I contacted Angie’s list and Dan amongst others reached out for the job . After reading & researching the company’s I went w/Garvey Construction & glad I did… Dan met me at the property and gave me an estimate , explained everything in detail what the job would entail. Explained in a way I could fully understand… Though I got outbid on the property I will definitely be calling Garvey , Dan in particular when I do find my dream home for any repairs or changes I want done … Thank u Garvey Construction for your time and look forward to hiring by in the future for any jobs I will need done…"
