When it’s time to make big changes to your home, make sure you hire a team that can produce flawless results. 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."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.

Whether it's better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities. Do you want to save money? If so, then you should build your own chicken coop because it will cost much less—about half—than buying a chicken coop. If you want a perfectly constructed coop with all the bells and whistles without sacrificing your time and energy, it's better (or at least easier) to buy one.

Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.

Depending on your structure, you may not need planning permission. Major excavation, anything that changes the external appearance of your home, or any construction that will affect your neighbors will need planning permission. However, no planning permission is required if you’re just converting an existing space into a root cellar.
