Building Designers in Farmington

“We have hired LakeHouse Design Build for several major projects at our lakeside cabin in Belgrade, Maine, and have been thrilled with the work done. Projects included a complete rebuild of portions of the main floor, including a new entrance porch, redesigned kitchen, bathroom, interior stairways, shelving, wiring updates, exterior patio, exterior stairways, and others. The work done was based on our wishes and requirements, but the design and details primarily reflected Mr. Bill Hudson's unique skills as a builder and designer. He was able to identify options that did not occur to us, and came up with designs that preserved the old camp character of the building while incorporating the modernization and comfort we sought. He was very skilled at managing modifications to cope with engineering and other challenges discovered in dealing with an 80+ year old cabin. Mr. Hudson's work reflects a remarkable attention to detail and quality. He is meticulous, careful, and will not accept poor quality work or materials. He does virtually all the work himself or with some assistance, and does not leave things to subcontractors in his absence. He communicated with us frequently and in detail, including regular photo project reports. He promptly involved us in any decisions, changes, or other planning information as the project progressed. His results have been wonderful for us - and are the source of constant favorable comments from neighbors, visitors, and others. We initially learned of his work from several neighbors whose projects reflected similar quality work from him. After researching area contractors before engaging this work, I had no doubt he was the best choice for our projects. We would hire him again for additional work without hesitation, and I have no reservations in recommending him to others.”

“Someone in Maine bought my Torii Gate Plans and hired Eric to build it and what a great job he did! You can see the build sequence on his Torii page. https://www.houzz.com/projects/2794536/torii My roofed torii design can be tricky to build but what a beautiful result!”

“I had the distinct pleasure of working with Mark on a lakeside cottage in Rangeley Plantation, Oquossoc, Maine. It's a kitchen/porch addition project. The Homeowner and I are from the Princeton, NJ area. This project was designed and coordinated between us, along with Knickerbocker Architects, seamlessly, even at the great distance. I can surely speak both for my team in NJ, and for the client, in saying Mark and his organization provided us with the best possible experience of process, resulting in an exceptionally well-crafted building. Above par and exceeding expectation on all counts. He is a consumate professional, and gains my highest recommendation for anyone working in this part of Maine. I hope to work with him again myself.”
