"We hired Wayne and Jesse to erect a post and beam kit home on our property. The project was comprehensive, beginning with excavating the lot and finishing with delivering a weather tight shell 5-6 months later, just ahead of winter. There were many challenges with non-standard construction details required to complete the build and to satisfy our own exacting requirements for achieving a well insulated and air tight home. Wayne, Jesse and the team were very accommodating and we always felt that their primary goal was to deliver the home built the way we wanted it built. They made and implemented many suggestions for improvements. When we discovered a few issues with the kit, they always had ideas to overcome any difficulties. We highly recommend Downeast Cabin Builders. Wayne, Jesse and the team made the whole process a great experience."

"Jamin and his crew of three hard working conscientious guys replaced about 20 feet of rotten sill on my 100 year old colonial house. A tough, nasty project, they got it done ahead of schedule and at a fair price. There were no communication to be concerned with and the politeness of the whole crew was exemplary. I am very pleased with the whole project and process. I highly recommend Kaes home remodel and contract company."

Affordable Excavating has been providing a wide range of general contracting services in the Houlton and Cary, ME areas for decades. Our team can do everything from replacing windows and decks to completely redoing your kitchen.

"Harvey and his team were professional and courteous. My wife and I were very satisfied with the completed work on the interior. We had originally planned on doing the exterior of the house first but had to change our plans. Harvey was accommodating and offered suggestions. Some I took, some I didn't. We are already discussing the projects for this coming summer. He doesn't know it but I have a couple new ideas I may implement. I have no doubt that they will do as an outstanding job on the exterior as they did inside. It looks like a new home."

Remodel Design questions, answered by experts

According to some studies, homes with 9-foot-or-higher ceilings can sell for 6% more than homes with lower ceilings. If you think you might wish to sell your home in the future and desire the look of a higher ceiling, this project could be a worthwhile investment. 

A simple cosmetic flip with minor repairs can take as little as a few weeks, while more extensive projects that involve structural changes or permit requirements can take several months. The time it takes to renovate a house ranges between three and six months, depending on factors like the extent of renovations, financing, and market conditions.

The renovation projects with the highest return on investment (ROI) in mobile homes include upgrading HVAC and appliances to be more energy-efficient. Installing EnergyStar-rated components if they're not already present in the home is particularly valuable. Additionally, installing smart-home features is an inexpensive way to add home value without spending a fortune on remodeling. Painting and skirting updates are also excellent for curb appeal and perceived value.

Adding a mudroom is one of the most budget-friendly home additions compared to other projects, costing between $8,000 and $16,000 on average. Not only is the room often quite small, but it also requires minimal fixtures or wiring to make the room practical. The most costly features include a weatherproof floor and an exterior door.

To pair a unique sense of style with white walls, keep them well-decorated. Hang vibrant art or bold furniture to add color to the room. Add some texture and greenery to the space with plants. Choose accent pieces such as throw pillows or light fixtures with patterns. Having a white wall can be a plus as it allows homeowners to easily decorate their homes as they desire without worrying about clashing with the paint color.
