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."

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

To qualify as a guest house, a structure needs to meet your local building code requirements. In some locations, a guest house must be a separate residence from the primary home. In other locations, you may be able to connect the two buildings and still call the second building a guest house. However, a structure doesn’t often need a minimum size to qualify as a guest house.

Depending on size, customization, and location, costs range from $100,000 to $300,000.

Major home remodeling projects have some of the highest ROI for adding value to your home. For example, adding a primary bedroom can return about 55% of the investment to build. The cost of a primary bedroom suite averages $62,000—-so the high ROI helps sweeten the deal. However, always make sure to speak with a contractor and architect before adding a new room to your home, as each space affects the layout and aesthetic of your home differently.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house’s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.
