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."

My name is Clyde Fowler, Jr. and I grew up in Randolph, ME. I started Fowler's Roofing 13 years ago and have been providing roofing services, masonry work, and full construction work all over the state of Maine for over 17 years. My staff and crews are very reliable and professional. When we approach a job from the free estimate to the finished product the number one goal is establishing trust with the homeowner and to provide them with 100% satisfaction. We are proud members of the Better Business Bureau, the Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce. We are fully certified and insured and we offer a 24 hour emergency service serving the state of Maine as well as a 5 year Warranty on Labor. Free Estimates!

"Fowler roofing should be avoided at all cost! When I first moved in here I had 5 jobs done by them over about a year. Two roofing jobs and 3 general contractor jobs. Two years after the work I am left with two leaky roofs, broken shingles, shingles blown up in the wind, a laminate floor in my kitchen with 3/8 inch + gaps ALL over the floor and two doors that will not close nor latch properly. But the epitome was when we had a storm move through and I had a roof leak - from a roof they did - that even took down part of my kitchen ceiling and ruined some of my cabinets. I called Fowler and they sent somebody over who found the issue. He didn’t say much about it, just that they would get back to me. I received in the mail an “estimate “ of $650.00 to repair the roof, they wouldn’t even look at my kitchen. I and a different roofer inspected the roof and found the problem- when the workers had installed one of the boots around a vent pipe they had cut the boot to a larger size than the actual pipe diameter. Instead of replacing the boot, they filled the gap with a big wad of silicone, which didn’t hold up. $650.00 to fix a problem they created! And not a mention of the thousands in damages to my kitchen. So within two years all 5 jobs have “failed”. I was embarrassed to even have people over things were so bad - my floor was worse than before their work. I was taking a drink of water when I read over Clyde’s comments at the top of this page and I seriously almost choked at the ludicrous comments. But after some thought, I found that perhaps he was partially correct: I TRUST that Fowler’s does poor work I TRUST that Fowler’s does NOT HONOR their warranties I TRUST that I will NEVER do business with Fowler’s again I TRUST that for the rest of my life I will tell and warn everyone I meet about Fowler’s I TRUST that this review and these others that talk about the quality and longevity of Fowler’s work will help you and you decision And I TRUST that Fowler’s takes advantage of disabled veterans"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Painting countertops can take a few days to complete yourself. However, keep in mind that it can take up to 14 days for the sealer to cure. So, you want to make sure you wait the manufacturer's recommended amount of time before using your countertops after painting them.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Most cottage builds take between six months and one year from planning to completion. The timeline includes design, permitting, site prep, construction, and finishing work. Factors such as weather, material delays, and permitting can affect the schedule. Hiring an experienced cottage building contractor and making prompt decisions can help speed up the process.

While a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges. However, a growing number of people are adopting this small-scale living approach to appreciate an off-the-grid, private lifestyle. It allows you to feel closer to nature in a sustainable, customizable, minimalist, and eco-friendly way.
