ADU Contractors in Canaan

“I have worked with Big County Builders on a couple projects and trust not only the integrity of how the business is run, but also the innovative thought that goes into the project. Josh not only worries about execution, but also thinks about design, logistics, cosmetic and aesthetics. This is important to me. I don't always have the know how, but have the idea of what I want and Josh always seems to find a way to fit the design of what I am thinking. He asks the right questions and talks about the important things. He does great work and would always recommend him!”

“Steve was a great partner to work with on our recent net zero Design/Build collaboration! Steve was able to take our detailed list of design requirements and create an incredibly functional home plan that ultimately satisfied all of our needs and desires. Highlights of our project included: - The final home plan was the product of a highly collaborative and iterative design process that relied upon 3D renderings and walkthroughs to test and review the plan at each stage of design. This allowed us to validate the plan and, where necessary, make adjustments before construction actually started. We can honestly say that there is nothing material we would change about the design. - Steve’s extensive background in modular and net zero construction ensured an extremely energy-efficient home (HERS score of 11) - Our building envelope presented some interesting positional challenges that Steve was able to solve elegantly and efficiently. - Steve not only accommodated our desire to do the interior finishing work (i.e., cabinetry, tiling, flooring, painting, etc.) ourselves, but in fact actively facilitated our ability to do so by adjusting his build plan to complete our workshop well before the rest of the house was completed. We love our new home and cannot recommend Steve highly enough! Juergen and Joan Renger Freeport, ME”

“Tuscher Design Group is always a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and ability to communicate the clients needs to the professionals they work with is second to none. I highly recommend TDG and look forward to working with them in the future.”

“Glen and Matt are the contractor/Builders you would wait in line for. Never have I had a better experience estimates are right on the money and Glen's honesty is never in question. Several times he was able to pass on materials savings to us, and the quality of workmanship--perfection! Matt and Glen maintain the highest level of professionalism in their personal conduct. I would trust them with my house and all of my belonging without a care--they are as trustworthy as it gets. When we need builders for any more remodeling or building, we will only use Halldale Builders. I stand four-square behind this review even several years later.”

“Matthew has been incredible helpful in our research phase of building a home. They've got a good thing going up there in Belfast and more people want a home that is healthy and efficient. I hope that some day we can hire them!”

“They replaced a deck, foundation sills, and new sliding doors. They do very high quality work. I have recommended them many times.”

“I am lucky to count myself as a lifelong customer of Lorraine Construction. I have known of Marc Lorraine since I was in high school and met his kids, Bennett and Henry. What I didn’t know back then was that he was a brilliant designer with a vast knowledge of construction and a true gift for building exceptionally crafted bespoke homes, while still watching out for your bottom line. Marc built and designed my dream house with me. “With" being the operative word, because Marc and his team of designers and builders did for me what I couldn’t find in other builders and designers: a true willingness to listen and collaborate with you, incorporating your ideas along with insights that Marc gleans from getting to know you and your lifestyle. In the end, he puts all of this together into one cohesive design that works for you, your budget, and your design aesthetic, creating a beautifully designed and built home. Marc’s team also worked tirelessly to come up with innovative ways to save money, thereby allowing me to splurge on other areas of the house during the building process. Plus, Marc’s leadership and expertise in green building practices continues to save me money every year—I have yet to turn on my air conditioning in the summer and my heating bill in the winter dwarfs those of my friends and their new houses. Marc’s team of professionals never ceased to surprise me, paying particular attention to my scheduling needs and construction timeline, completing all work ahead of schedule and under budget. Marc is definitely the most creative person I know—he has an incredible openness to trying new things and exploring with unique materials that push the boundaries of the design world. Moreover, Marc’s many connections in the building industry and with his suppliers gives him priority in materials deliveries, which helped to keep your construction costs down and eliminates delays in the building process. I have Marc and his team to thank for designing and building my dream home, which to this day still puts a smile on my face and anyone who visits. From design to construction, Lorraine Construction is simply unbeatable. Marc treats every project, big or small, as if it were something for his own home, making himself available at all hours to ensure the best building and design experience you will ever experience. When I hear my friends complain about their home building experience and the hassles and headaches they’re experiencing, I realize just how lucky I was to have Lorraine Construction design and build my home. Not only do I have great memories from the design and building phases, but I also made friends for life. I couldn’t be happier with Lorraine Construction and his whole team. Thank you!”
