The name Willow Ledge tells a lot about this full-service residential renovation and construction company: it is both the name of an old family cottage up the coast in Maine and the place where Willow Ledge Builders got its start back in the early 1990's. We started with an historically sensitive kitchen renovation project there and haven't stopped since. Even before that, I'd spent most of my adult years working in the building trades on many levels from framing to finish work and from building design to project management. This was probably quite predictable since my father was a construction engineer and I've been wielding a hammer since I was a todler.

I believe that I translate my care about people and doing things right into the heart of my business. I like working with people (certainly not a given in this field) and I like bringing my knowledge and experience as well as my creative problem-solving and design skills to projects ranging from the simplest renovation to the most complex residential project.Also, from that care and respect for people comes a commitment to fair value for work done. Sure, there's money to be made in this field but there's money to be saved; and we can work together to make good choices that reflect your needs and values while keeping the bottom line in mind. The testimonial section of this website exemplifies my working relationship with our clients; please take some time to check out the photographs and comments.

Custom Renovations
Willow Ledge Builders, Inc. custom renovation is truly our specialty. While we have built many custom homes from start to finish, the bulk of our work is in making changes and improvements to existing structures which brings its own unique opportunities and challenges.

For the client it is truly exciting, gratifying and, at times, overwhelming to work through the idea and planning stages of a renovation project. Willow Ledge can provide initial consultation, design work and all the necessary skilled trades to bring your imagination and needs into reality. We provide skilled workmanship, attention to detail, and the utmost professionalism while we improve your living space and your life through the miracle of custom renovation or an addition to your home.

Yet working in a home in which you currently live means that we all need to work together thoughtfully to allow your lives to proceed with some sense of normalcy and to keep the stress to a minimum. We are aware of the impact that renovation projects by their nature have on homeowners and their families, and, while we cannot eliminate these effects, we can advise clients of possible issues in advance and help them to plan for them. Our crew will respect your home and your daily life, leaving the site safe and clean, protecting the unchanged living spaces from construction dirt and debris while remaining mindful of your family's daily activities.

Custom New Homes
Building a new home is one of the most rewarding, meaningful and complicated projects that people take on in their lifetimes. Ideally we create a space that perfectly supports the dreams and hopes you have for your life and your family. Building a home is truly building a dream. Whether you're on a budget or "the sky's the limit", bringing this vision into reality requires the ability to find practical and affordable solutions as well as to find ways to get exactly what you want no matter what it takes. And we are comfortable working with our clients in either circumstance.

Willow Ledge Builders constructs custom houses for owners looking for an attractive and efficient home that integrates with their lifestyles. We work closely with you throughout each stage of the process and bring in the appropriate contractors to consult on the project as their services are required. Willow Ledge can provide a complete range of services from design and framing to interior finishes and final landscaping. We can also work with contractors that you would like to include in the construction of your home. If necessary, we can guide you through the all-important and often-complicated process of zoning and land use restrictions while helping you with the planning and permitting process.

We pride ourselves on completing your new home with the utmost attention to detail in a timely fashion while providing an excellent value. And we actually mean this.
