Custom Home Builder in West Gardiner, ME
Ground-up construction on West Gardiner's large I-95 corridor lots, built to your layout and your budget.
A custom home builder in West Gardiner, ME takes your project from bare ground to finished house. That means foundation, framing, systems, and finish work, all laid out to your plan and your budget.
West Gardiner has bigger lots than most towns, especially along the I-95 corridor, so there is usually room to site the house the way you want it. The owner walks every property in person before any design work starts, and we confirm local permitting before that too.
The same crew stays with your build from the foundation through the last coat of paint. You get a straight answer on cost and timeline up front, not a runaround.

Site evaluation for a West Gardiner custom home
We check ledge, septic design needs, and access before pricing. West Gardiner's larger rural lots and easy I-95 delivery access make siting a full custom home more flexible than in tighter-lot towns nearby.
Foundation through full systems
Foundation, framing, roofing, siding, windows and doors, and full plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, sequenced around Maine's frost depth code and the delivery access these lots off Exit 102 allow.
Interior finish to your layout
Interior finish follows your floor plan and your selections. A builder template decides none of it, which is the reason to build custom at all.
