Client Testimonials
Hear From Homeowners In Your Area
Watching our home transform through this addition was incredible. Legacy Construction communicated clearly, respected our space and vision, and delivered work that feels solid and intentional. You can tell they care about doing things the right way—and building work that lasts.
We spoke with several contractors before choosing Legacy Construction and are glad we did. Their communication was excellent, and they handled every detail of our project with care. They take pride in their work, and it shows in the final product.
It’s hard to find a trustworthy contractor these days, let alone one that cares about the all the details that can easily get lost in the grand scheme of the project. Legacy Construction threaded that needle, and many others, expertly. Looking forward to the next time we can work together.
We appreciated how collaborative Legacy Construction was throughout our project. They listened to our ideas, offered practical solutions, and kept everything on track. The finished work is beautiful and built to last.

OUR SERVICES
House Plans and Design in Standish
A designer delivered drawings that did not account for the lake setback distance or the Maine shoreland zoning rules. Revisions took months, the contractor had to reprice twice, and the build timeline moved further out each time.
Every month without finished plans costs you:
- We show up when we say we will, every single time
- We build exactly what we planned and agreed on
- A building permit clock that has not even started yet
- Months of delays once construction starts due to incomplete drawings
- The design you want next year will cost more than it does today
Stop starting with plans that miss the shoreland rules. Call (207) 544-4607.
