This basement renovation was a true collaboration, and I could not be more happy with the results. Nate is everything you're looking for and didn't think you could find in a contractor. He returns calls quickly, works within your budget, works with you to execute your "wants," shows up on time, keeps the work area clean and safe, and produces fantastic results. He is mindful, thoughtful and highly skilled. Everyone loves his work, and so do I. Thank you Nate and Chris.

Pebblebrook built our modest, but awesome, shore-front home in Lamoine last year. Tony and…read moreElizabeth worked with us every step of the way and listened attentively as we described what we wanted built. They exceeded our expectations by several notches and completed the project on time and within budget. Tony prides himself on his craftsmanship and everyone who visits the home is impressed by the quality and detail of the workmanship. Tony is very hands-on and oversaw every detail, every step of the way. And Elizabeth worked closely with my wife in obtaining appliances, selecting paint, granite, textures and just about everything that makes a house a home. Just as importantly, they proved their integrity several times in different situations where we could have easily been misled with no chance whatsoever of us ever finding out about it. Integrity and honestly are words not often used to describe contractors these days, but Tony and Elizabeth are the real deal. We love our new home and hope to contract with Pebblebrook again with future projects.

Now we are expanding! Of course, I called to arrange for yet another installation of new floor covering. Will follow up with another review when it is finished. Nothing but the best! Cannot recommend them highly enough. Note: Parenteau's Floor Coverings has relocated to their previous location on Route One in Searsport, across from Angler's Restaurant. EASY to find. Lots of great selections.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!…read more Building a home from scratch can be overwhelming--especially when you don't live in the area. My wife and I dreamed of a 3-bedroom cottage in Bar Harbor, ME, and after hiring an architect, we faced the daunting task of finding the right builder. Through a recommendation, we found Ricky Sprague, owner of Generations Custom Homes (GCH). That turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From day one, Ricky stood out. He patiently explained the entire process, respected our budget, and built in flexibility for changes along the way. What impressed me most was his organization. Ricky uses what I called his "magic spreadsheet"--a clear, detailed budget and progress tracker that he updated with each invoice. I could see exactly what was spent, what remained, and how far along we were. For someone investing life savings into a project, that transparency was priceless. And here's the kicker: Ricky's estimates were spot on. The only deviations were the ones we chose, and even those were offset by savings elsewhere. Now, about quality. GCH typically builds large luxury homes, and ours was modest by comparison--a 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage. But you'd never know it from the craftsmanship. The trim work around doors and windows is flawless. The tile work is magazine-worthy. Friends have tried to spot imperfections, and none could be found. The attention to detail is astounding, and the result far exceeded our expectations. Equally important is how Ricky handles challenges. No construction project is perfect, and we had a minor issue with window alignment. Before I could even decide whether it was worth worrying about, Ricky had it fixed--on his dime. That told me everything I needed to know about his integrity. He takes ownership, stands by his work, and makes things right without hesitation. One example that really stood out: when the quartz countertops were installed, one side wasn't cut perfectly at 90 degrees. I honestly didn't notice the misalignment, but Ricky immediately spotted it. He arranged for the company to come back, remove the affected sections, recut them precisely, and reinstall them flawlessly. I was beyond impressed with Ricky's attention to detail, dedication to quality, and genuine care for his customers. It's clear why I want to give Ricky and GCH 10 stars! They take pride in their work, listen carefully to their clients, and ensure the finished product exceeds expectations. Whether it's a large project or a small detail, they handle everything with professionalism, skill, and heart. Communication was also seamless. Ricky was always accessible--whether by text, email, or phone--and responded quickly. I never felt out of the loop despite living hours away. At the end of the day, what you get with Ricky and Generations Custom Homes isn't just a house--it's peace of mind. He's extremely talented, honest, and hardworking, and his entire crew reflects those same values. My wife and I are beyond thrilled with our new home, and I can say with complete confidence: if you're looking for a builder in the MDI area, stop searching. Hire Ricky Sprague and GCH. You'll be in the best hands possible!

My Maine house on Mount Desert needed serious repairs to the three decks surrounding the house in…read moreorder to get it ready for the market. The previous contractor had done a very poor job, partly because I was out of state for medical reasons. I fired him and then had a difficult time finding a reliable contractor. Ricky Sprague, the owner of Generations Custom Homes, was so moved by my story and angry that an elderly widow had been taken advantage of, that he promised to take on the work, despite having a full workload and worked with me to keep costs as low as possible, given how large the job was. His crew arrived when promised and worked diligently and expertly to repair-- and in two cases to completely rebuild--the decks, so that the work could be mostly complete before I had to leave. Ricky kept me informed of issues that arose, particularly those that would increase the workload and the costs and offered solutions that were elegant and worked with my constrained budget. He and his crew completed the work in little over two months, cleaned up the site, and got it inspected. I am so deeply grateful not simply for the quality of the work but also the respect with which I was treated, and the way Ricky made sure the project came in on time and within budget. I cannot recommend the company highly enough. If possible, I would give them more than 5 stars!

The estimate was close to the final cost of the deck. He scheduled it about 4 months out because he was booked with other jobs until late summer but he started on time and completed on plan. This was a complete replacement including footings and framing. His work is impeccable and it shows in the results. While attaching the frame to the house he had to remove some siding and found some rotted wood. He replaced that and the siding so the house wall is like new. He also ordered the materials, arranged for deliveries and removed the old deck and waste from the site. He talked with me throughout the job about progress and any issues or design decisions. I'm very pleased with the deck and privacy fence and would hire him again for other construction jobs and I give him the highest recommendation.
