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"

FAQs for home building projects in Machias, ME

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:

Pros:

  • It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof. 

  • It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.

  • You get to build the house to your specifications.

Cons:

  • You have to make a LOT of decisions.

  • You will almost certainly deal with building delays.

  • It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.

  • Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • How long have you worked with your subcontractors?

  • How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • Do you offer design services?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
