Oceanside Builders, LLC.

Eric Smith built our dream house 12 years ago on a tremendously challenging location on a ledge in Harpswell. At the time we were still living in Chicago and put our total trust in him...which he deserved. He called us with suggestions of how to ensure a safe and beautiful home and when we arrived in the summer to move in...every detail had been carefully attended too. And an even more important point....since then we've called on him whenever something needed attending to and he's been right there. A few years ago, after a hurricane, a huge white pine near the front of the house(which he had suggested we cut down and I refused,) pulled away from the house and the root system was threatening to pull off the front porch. Eric had tree people there the next morning because of the reputation he's earned with other services. I give his name out to anyone who asks for the name of a great builder

Knowing that Oceanside Builders builds high quality craftmanship homes with a respect for fine woodworking details, I didn't hesitate to trust them to build my forever home. With my desire to have an efficient home that was designed to fit our unique landscape, designer David Matero was brought in to create the initial concept designs. He created a beautiful concept of a cottage style dream house that fit our personality, needs, and landscape. Oceanside Builders worked collaboratively with me to complete the drawings. Eric Smith, owner of Oceanside Builders, is knowledgeable of current building trends and more importantly energy efficient homes, helped me to create an efficient home within my budget. From the beginning of the project until completion I was pleased with the quality of work from Oceanside Builders and their many professional sub-contractors. I love our forever home and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!

As an architect, I enjoy and appreciate working with general contractors who approach a project with a positive attitude and team approach. I have collaborated with Eric Smith of Oceanside Builders on multiple residential projects and admire the end product on those projects. The job site is always clean and the attention to detail is very good. Eric is also pays close attention to energy efficient details and construction methods which is something that comes back to reward the client years after the architect and contractor have left the job. I would recommend Eric and his team for your residential project.

Good service for the money spent. I would use again if the need came up. Kept the work place clean and safe.

I have hired Oceanside Builders for many general contracting projects over the last ten years for my home in Harpswell. The work is always of high quality, within budget and completed on time. Eric Smith is very knowledgeable and comes up with good suggestions and creative ideas to solve problems and provide solutions. He also keeps me informed of progress and any unforeseen issues as my projects progress. As this is a second home for me and I travel often, I have also hired Oceanside to manage all aspects of the property maintenance and landscaping.

Among other projects Eric Smith, owner of Oceanside Builders, has done for us over the past twenty-some years, is a dock built for our house in Maine. The existing dock when we bought the house was worn beyond repair and poorly installed. Eric and his crew built us a sturdy new ramp and float dock, over 100' long, out into the tidal cove in front of our house. The trickiest part was building the stairs down the embankment; the old ones had just been laid down on the clay. The new ones are pinned and tied into the bank and are not going anywhere! The quality of work done by this company is of the highest standard. You will find cheaper companies in the area but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. The work they do is done right the first time, the team works well together and with us, They have creative and innovative ideas to make the project better. They rarely get upset by unexpected "challenges" and will work with the client to obtain the desired result. A critical attribute Eric has is knowing the codes of the surrounding towns and the ability to work with the town and government officials in obtaining permits. And if they can't make it as scheduled, they will CALL you to let you know!
