Get matched with top contractors in Strong, ME

"I was very impressed working with this company. Communication was superb right off the bat. We went over the job in detail, and it was completed perfectly. The company is very professional and pays attention to every detail. The price was good too! They also cleaned the area thoroughly and my property looks exquisite. Hire this company with confidence. Thank you!"

"Carl was terrific! Very responsive, very tuned in to what I wanted, and flexible about changes. Cannot imagine a better contractor or a better result. Highly recommend, I will certainly be calling on him again."

"Dani is great to work with. I have thrown so many things for her to do. Always able to get it done with great attention to all her projects. Dani has rebuilt my mudroom,put in doors, window, flooring. As I write this she is building me a bedroom in the basement. The screened in porch was built but she did the finish word. Putting up walls,making the screen to go in the windows. She has made wooden doors for 2 different places of the house. Excellent with a 10 not being high enough."

"David did a great job on our place, he worked with us for a very tight schedule and accomplished the work quickly and beautifully. He had great communication and even video chatted with us to show us the finished product, as we had to be out of town. Everything was left tidy and complete. Highly recommend him for your contractor needs!!"

"Appointment  to review  various needed repairs was made within a reasonable amount of time. Contractor did show up and was on time at the time of the appointment. (This is why I gave them the overall C rating)...... Now to the disappointing part.... When leaving, contractor said he would get back to me within a few days with estimate. A week went by with no estimate received  from contractor. I called contractor again and was told he would have estimate for me by the next day.. It is now a week later and still no estimate has been received. Based on their previous good reviews, which was what lead me to call then in the first place, they are probably good at what they do and may have done the repairs at a reasonable price, however, I didn't get a chance to find out as I  was never supplied an estimate. Disappointing because I took time away from work to meet with the contractor, which turns out was a waste of time for both of us. Wont bother calling them back because if I cant rely on them to get back to me with an estimate, how can I trust that they will complete the work needed in a timely manner?

"First, let me say that the installer was great. The salesman was not. We came away pleased with our garage doors but I wish we had ANY other salesman.

Our salesman forgot to email us the promised quote the following day and didn't send it until a week later, after I called to ask about the delay. Then he forgot to call us to schedule the installation when the doors came in. This, too, slipped his mind. He called the day before the installation. Then he forgot to tell us we needed an electrician to install ceiling outlets for the door motors. When I asked him why he didn't tell us during the month we waited for the doors ha said he assumed we already had the outlets when he looked at our garage. (Despite the fact that we have never had motorized doors on that garage.)  He said  he would bring extention cords so that we would have working doors that evening. Then he called at 2:30PM to say that he wouldn't have time to bring the cords that day. He would bring them the next day. I can't remember working with a worse salesman.

The installer was his opposite. Professional, competent, responsible, personable. The doors were installed perfectly.

Good experience with company. Awful experience with the salesman."

"James Builders built a new garage, shingled my roof, and installed new siding. Definitely the most professional contractor I have worked with in Maine. Always prompt and never hesitated to contacted me about issues or changes. Also, all work was spelled out in a contract and a payment schedule was clear and laid out ahead of time, which is much appreciated."

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design!

"She was fine. We were working long distance and communication took place via phone and email. I would not ever hire someone long distance again for design work unless I see something on their website that is exactly what I like. She was very responsive though and she provided us with pictures of sample furniture and physical designs. I gave her a 'B' because she didn’t take a lot of time to customize the plan to our style. I expected her to adapt to our style, but instead she tried to make our living room fit her style. She seems to have a look that is her style and we actually asked her re-do the plan a few times before we got something usable. In the end, she is very good at what she does and she is very professional, but her design style doesn’t fit our way of living."
