Permitting takes time on the water
Permitting can take time, especially if your project is located on the water in coastal Maine or on one of our state’s many beautiful lakes. That is why we start the conversation long before the first shovel hits the ground.
While permits are in process, we are ordering materials, coordinating with your architect and preparing the site so we can hit the ground running once approvals arrive.
Site and orientation drive the design
Every coastal lot is different. On our Contemporary on the Cape project in Cape Elizabeth, a sloped site gave us room to play with angles and movement — the exterior deck cascades down much like the white oak waterfall stairs inside.
At Driftwood Lane in Pine Point, the goal was to open the house to the marsh, so the addition stacks decks on each floor to capture the view.
Materials that hold up
Quality work that looks just as beautiful five years from finish as it did the first day you walked in is our top priority. You make the final call on every material, and we make recommendations based on your drawings, your budget and how the home will live year-round on the coast.
Start with a conversation
The best coastal projects begin early. Call Ben at (207) 749-1050 or send us a note, and we will talk through your site, your timeline and what to expect.
