Legacy Construction built an addition onto our home, and the quality is outstanding. The new space blends perfectly with the original house. They worked with us on budget and design and were always upfront about costs and options. Very professional from start to finish.

OUR SERVICES

What We Build in Cape Elizabeth

That Project Keeps Slipping. You have put it off enough.

You walk past the same kitchen every morning in your Shore Road home knowing it should have been finished by now. The addition plans are sitting on the counter. Another summer passes and nothing changes.

You called around last fall. One contractor gave a vague number over the phone. The other never showed up to the property walk.

Every season you wait is costing you more:
  • The cost of materials and labor keeps climbing year after year


  • Another summer passes without the space your family needs


  • Your property value stays flat while neighbors invest in theirs
  • You spend another winter making do with a layout that does not work


  • The project you want next year will cost more than it does today

Stop letting it slide. Call (207) 544-4607 for a free estimate on your build.

How We Get Your Build Done

You have waited long enough. We take your Cape Elizabeth project from plans to a finished build with a clear timeline, a fixed price, and personal oversight every step.

  • Cape Elizabeth Properties and What We Evaluate

    Cape Elizabeth's premium properties sit on coastal terrain where salt air, wind exposure, and frost penetration affect building materials differently than inland towns. Legacy Construction evaluates every Cape Elizabeth property with coastal conditions in mind, from fastener selection to foundation depth and exterior finish specifications.

  • What Cape Elizabeth Homeowners Receive

    Cape Elizabeth properties often represent significant investments, and the homeowners here expect construction quality to match. Legacy Construction delivers commercial-grade project management, licensed realtor expertise when land decisions are involved, and workmanship built to last multiple generations in coastal conditions.

  • What Cape Elizabeth Homeowners Experience

    Cape Elizabeth homeowners receive Legacy Construction's five-year workmanship warranty on every project, five times longer than Maine's standard requirement. That warranty is backed by a planning process that identifies problems before they occur, a team with deep construction experience, and Joe Hausler's personal oversight.
