Design and Build Companies in South Bristol, ME

“Time and time again the Knickerbocker Group has impressed us with their amazing work ethic, passion, and overall drive to do the best possible jobs they can for the clients!”

“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!”

“Linekin Bay Woodworkers has done a number of projects for us, all were done in a timely manner. The work was done beautifully. They have repaired furniture and built for us, the small details are what count in the work.”

“I interviewed several contractors before hiring John Lichtman. We hired John because he was thorough in his estimate preparation (which he didn't stray from), asked a lot of questions, made thoughtful suggestions. His careful attention to the estimate was part of his approach to the entire project from Day 1. I live a distance from the new house, but John called frequently to check in on small details. There were never any unhappy surprises. Our house is contemporary and called for construction methods that were, at times, unfamiliar to John. He never tried to talk me into what he knew how to do. Instead, he researched what he hadn't done before and found out how to do it--beautifully.”

“Someone in Maine bought my Torii Gate Plans and hired Eric to build it and what a great job he did! You can see the build sequence on his Torii page. https://www.houzz.com/projects/2794536/torii My roofed torii design can be tricky to build but what a beautiful result!”
