Trevor was kind, responsive, and quick to take on my project. He made coordinating an appointment easy. He and his crew showed up on time and did a great job on my new garage.

Still Waiting on That Build? You have known for a while.
You drive past that empty lot off Congress Street every morning knowing your plans are just sitting in a folder. The kitchen that was supposed to be done last fall still looks the same. The garage you need before winter is another year away.
You have called around. Some contractors never called back. Others gave vague numbers and disappeared. Now you are stuck waiting again.
Every season you wait is costing you more:
- The cost of materials and labor keeps climbing year after year.
- Another year passes without the home or space you actually need.
- Your property value stays flat while neighbors around you build.
- You spend another season working around something that is not right.
- The project you want next year will cost more than it does today

How We Handle It for You
You have waited long enough. Legacy Construction takes your project from planning to finished build with a clear timeline, a fixed price, and personal oversight on every phase of construction.
We Walk the Property and Plan Every Detail
Before any work begins, we spend 4 to 6 weeks in the planning and design phase. We review your lot, assess conditions, and create comprehensive architectural plans, so you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs. Problems get solved on paper, not mid-construction. You get a fixed-price contract before we break ground.
We Handle the Build From the Ground Up
Our crew manages every phase of your build from foundation to final walkthrough. Joe personally reviews each stage before crews move forward. We coordinate all trades, keep a detailed schedule, and send you weekly progress updates. You are never left wondering what is happening or when the next crew shows up.
We Make Sure Everything Holds Up for Years
Every build gets a 5-year workmanship warranty, five times longer than Maine's standard. We also provide 1 year on materials, 2 years on systems, and 10 years on structural coverage. If something is not right, we fix it immediately. We stand behind the work because we build it to last for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Home Building in Southern Maine
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Southern Maine?
Most Legacy Construction projects fall in the $400,000 to $2 million+ range depending on size, materials, and site conditions. Custom homes in the Portland area typically run $270–$400+ per square foot in 2026. We provide a fixed-price contract before breaking ground so there are no surprise costs mid-build.
How long does a custom home build take?
Most custom home builds take 10–14 months from foundation to final walkthrough. We spend 4–6 weeks upfront in planning and design before any construction begins — that planning time is what keeps the build on schedule. We maintain a short project list of 4–6 active builds so your project always gets the attention it needs.
Do you handle permits for new construction in Maine?
Yes. We manage the permitting process as part of every project. Our team coordinates with local municipalities across Southern Maine — from Portland to Kennebunk — so you don't have to navigate that process on your own. We factor permit timelines into your project schedule from day one.
What areas of Maine do you serve?
We serve a 30-mile radius from Portland, covering communities including South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Falmouth, Westbrook, Gorham, Windham, Saco, Biddeford, Kennebunk, Freeport, and more. Don't see your town? Call us anyway — we'll still come to you.
What warranty does Legacy Construction offer?
Our warranty goes well beyond Maine's standard one-year requirement. We offer 1 year on materials, 2 years on systems, 5 years on workmanship, and 10 years on structural coverage — all in writing before we start. Most builders avoid long warranties because they can't stand behind their work. We extend them because we can.
How do I get started with Legacy Construction?
The easiest way is to call us at (207) 544-4607 or fill out the estimate form on our website. We'll schedule a no-pressure conversation about your project, walk the property if needed, and get you a written estimate. We keep a short project list, so reaching out early is the best way to get on our schedule.
