Archadeck was contracted to rebuild a third-floor balcony for our Wiscasset Maine condo. There were…read morea couple issues with this project because of the very unusual construction of the previous balcony. A portion of that balcony was literally the ceiling of the unit below us. Beyond that, the siding on the building was no longer available and the support system had to be changed. Jesse had assured me that TJ would do whatever was necessary to finish the job to our satisfaction. He did just that despite the fact that it took more time than anticipated and a couple extra trips back to the work site. TJ and Jesse have an open invitation to join us for a glass of wine and some appetizers on our balcony if they make it back to Wiscasset. David Brown

I highly recommend Archadeck of Central Maine. The carpenter, Garret, except for a few hours on the…read morefirst carpentry day and the entire last day, worked on this by himself. He did a phenomenal job! On the last day he was joined by Preston and he did a great job as well. This project had some unique elements. First, was the slope of the ground. Second, was the design. The lower deck was designed to hold a hot tub (not shown here) to be accessed from the upper deck in the area between the two railings. One whole side of the upper deck remained without a railing as I wanted deck access to be at any point along the footpath. It'll be my task to backfill the gap between the deck surface and the footpath. Total number of days worked on this project was six (6). TJ and Jessi are easy to work with and the cost was very reasonable. We are THRILLED with the results!!

I can't say enough good things, nor recommend with greater enthusiasm Nate Butler, of Butler Built…read moreHomes and Projects. 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.

I hired Jacob Megquier to replace a large deck and privacy fence. It's complete and I'm very…read morehappy with the results. He designed it and helped me with ideas for materials. 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.

I found Megquier & Sons on the internet and was a bit hesitant because the last person I found…read morenever responded to my request. Jacob came over fairly quickly and gave me an estimate. Lots of little jobs. He started working that day, came and finished the next. Work was well done, place left clean, he's knowledgeable, polite, and his pricing is very fair. Will have him back in the spring to do my nasty gutters!

The time had come to redo our basement (done in epoxy) and garage (done with enamel polymer)…read more floors. Neither surface held up more than 5 years, even without heavy traffic. I had seen polyaspartic coatings before, which look like stone and appear very durable. Best of all, the previous floors were always slippery when wet, but the texture of the polyaspartic makes slips a distant memory. The temperatures have been hovering around freezing, so I was sure we couldn't get this done this year, and besides the only highly recommended installer in Maine was in Bucksport!! I called, the proprieter, Linwood Bridges, who assured me that he could put it on his busy schedule, even though it meant significant travel to our location. Moreover, he said that, unlike enamel and epoxy, polyaspartic coatings can be applied in the cold, and because there are almost no fumes that need to be ventillated, we were able to keep the windows closed. I had seen the ads and read the reviews, but did they really reflect the products and examples shown? I was still skeptical. This was no easy job, the floors were not level or straight, and I wanted to make them look like real granite when done, so who would have believed that it could be accomplished, on budget, and as quoted, and in record time, with less than three days to completion! As it was fast drying, we were using the floors almost immediately. Linwood and his associate Nicole were professional (they had masks on the whole time they were in our residence), did as they said, showed up on time as promised, and did a superb job. Were the reviews and photos really representative of the work Coastal Concrete Coatings was capable of accomplishing for us and for your job? No. Linwood Bridges is much too down to earth and humble to tell you what he can really do for you. But he is a perfectionist. He so exceeded our greatest expectations, that I still have to go out to the garage daily to marvel on how absolutely amazing the floors look. If you need any concrete surface finished, look no further. You simply cannot get a better product, nor a better installation anywhere.

You could not find a better builder/contractor than Karl Rossi and West Branch Builders. I can't…read moresay enough about the quality of their work. We hired them to put an additional bathroom in our home along with some modifications to our garage. Their estimates were right on the mark as far as costs and estimated time for completion. The workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding! They left the house clean and tidy after they worked on it. The bathroom looked like it had always been part of the house. We were converting a small space and went through several revisions of plans until we came up with the final one. Karl was very patient with us and offered useful suggestions on what he thought would work. He was also very selective in choosing quality subcontractors for the plumbing and electrical work. We had been burned by other builders in the past, so hiring West Branch was a breath of fresh air. We plan to hire them again for other projects and would not even consider having anyone else do the work. (Note - I am writing this review on my own, not because i was asked to do so. I believe that people who do outstanding work should be recognized.)

I had a very negative experience with Karl Rossi/West Branch Builders recently. He has done some…read morework for me over the past years, on a rental property I owned. Two years ago I needed work on the chimney because squirrels were getting in. He subcontracted the work out to a mason, and Karl reported that new liners were put in and all was taken care of. This spring, two years later, I put the house on the market. A housing inspection uncovered that the chimney had been completely capped, making the fireplace unusable. I was shocked, and contacted Karl, who contacted the mason he had hired. The mason, at the time of doing the work, had not informed Karl nor me, (only the tenant at the time, which is completely unacceptable). Karl apologized to me and said I, and he, should have been informed. However, he was not willing to take any financial responsibility for the work, which he was ultimately responsible for. In fact, when I asked how much it would cost to make the fireplace usable again, Karl gave me an estimate which included the mason's estimate plus his own 10% markup! Ultimately, the realtor made some arrangements with Karl, but reported that he was very rude at times with her. I am very disappointed, and would not hire West Branch Builders/Karl Rossi again.
