Five black stars.

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.

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

General contractor Cape Elizabeth ME Legacy Construction
You walk past the same outdated kitchen every morning in your Shore Road home knowing the renovation should have happened by now. The addition plans are on a shelf. Another season passes and nothing changes.

You contacted two contractors last fall. One sent a quote with no detail. The other stopped returning messages after the first conversation.

Every season you wait is costing you more:
  • We show up when we say we will, every single time

  • We build exactly what we planned and agreed on


  • Your coastal property value stays flat while neighbors around you invest
  • You spend another summer working around a layout that falls short


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

Stop letting the right season pass. Call (207) 544-4607 for a free estimate.

Your Build Gets Done the Right Way

You have waited long enough. We take your Cape Elizabeth project from a clear written plan to a finished build with fixed scope, a real timeline, and direct oversight at every phase.

  • Alfred Street Corridor Home Construction in Biddeford, ME

    Biddeford's Alfred Street corridor anchors a city built on mill-era homes, and the housing stock along it ranges from historic multi-family properties to early-twentieth-century single-family homes that need experienced hands when it comes time to renovate, expand, or rebuild. Homeowners in this part of Biddeford know that older construction carries hidden conditions, original framing, dated systems, settled foundations, that a general contractor has to plan for, not discover halfway through. Legacy Construction provides full general contracting for homes throughout the Alfred Street corridor and greater Biddeford, managing permits with the city, coordinating every trade with our own crews on site, and holding one accountable point of contact from first walkthrough to final inspection. Property owners near Alfred Street count on Legacy for the documented, communicative approach that protects an older home through a major project and delivers the finished result on schedule.

  • Mill-Era Home Renovation Near the Saco River in Biddeford, ME

    The neighborhoods spreading out from Biddeford's Saco River waterfront are filled with the city's signature mill-era housing, multi-family conversions, early single-family homes, and tightly spaced lots that reflect Biddeford's industrial roots. Renovating these homes takes a contractor who reads original construction correctly, because the lath-and-plaster walls, balloon framing, and dated systems behind them all shape how a project has to proceed. Legacy Construction provides full-scope renovation and remodeling for Biddeford's older homes, opening up dated floor plans, updating wiring and plumbing, and restoring tired spaces while respecting the character that gives these homes their value. We coordinate every trade with our own crews and document the work as it progresses. Homeowners throughout Biddeford's older neighborhoods rely on Legacy for renovations that modernize a mill-era home without erasing what makes it worth keeping.

  • Design-Build General Contracting in Biddeford, ME

    Homeowners across Biddeford, from the Alfred Street corridor to the neighborhoods along the Saco River, increasingly want a single contractor to take a project from first idea through finished construction rather than juggling a designer, a builder, and a roster of subcontractors themselves. Design-build solves that, the same team that plans the project builds it, so nothing gets lost between drawings and reality. Legacy Construction provides full design-build across Biddeford, handling plans, permits, construction, and final walkthrough as one accountable process. We design with real construction costs in mind from the first sketch, so your project stays grounded in budget and buildable from the start. Homeowners throughout Biddeford rely on Legacy for the design-build approach that keeps a project clear, accountable, and on a single timeline from concept to completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do you handle coastal permits in Cape Elizabeth?

    Coastal Cape Elizabeth parcels near Shore Road often carry shoreland and setback rules. As your general contractor we confirm those limits, prepare the permit submissions, and build within them so your project clears review the first time.
