Best barndominium builders near Waterville, ME

"My comments here are based on more than 40 years of personal experience building & renovating custom residences and renovating apartment buildings in southern and mid-Atlantic states. I needed a quality contractor for a custom lake home outside my area, so I asked several local real estate and financing professionals for recommendations. One name kept coming up: Shawn Craig and Craig Construction in Oakland, Maine. Shawn and his crew are unusual in a Good way because they provide reliable service and quality results in many areas of construction. They do the site prep, build a beautiful custom home, install a custom dock, landscape and hard scape - and do all of these things very well. The subcontractors Shawn uses for certain specialties are also very good. Shawn and his crew provide quality results on time and this is very rare among general contractors - so I highly recommend Craig Construction. -Brian M"

"Hired these guys to build a long half wall built out onto a concrete floor in order to mount some electrical equipment. Zack was very knowledgeable, and gave me a couple options for what I wanted to achieve. He also helped me build the wall in such a way that allowed easy access for the electricians coming in behind him, which helped save time and cost later down the line. Quote was very reasonable, and the install was done quickly and efficiently, with a high level of attention to detail. I was very satisfied and have recommended them to others who ended up having a similar experience. High level of professionalism and very respectful, honest folks. look forward to having them involved in my next big project."

"We had a great experience working with G.A. Doughty Construction. From the start, their team was communicative, responsive, and collaborative—making sure we were involved and informed at every step. They helped us navigate and recover from a difficult prior experience, stepping in with professionalism and integrity to get the work done right. Their commitment to quality and transparency gave us real peace of mind, and we’re grateful for their expertise and support throughout the project."

"Did a great job. Built mailbox stand with an excellent custom flair. Built for strength. Texted and came right away. The message transition to know who was talking to me was confusing at first. DP was also not sure who it was initially."

"They were extremely professional. On time, on budget and the work is beautiful. I hired them to do another project at my home."
