Lake Living Consultants

The team at Lake Living Consultants has been instrumental building my house in Maine. Above all, they have proven themselves to be fair and reliable. From the beginning they were amenable to my ideas and were a great help with initial designs and best practices for home construction in Maine. Their knowledge of reputable local contractors and selection of materials is highest-quality; Lake Living Consultants can show my house anytime.

In the fall of 2014 i made the decision to purchase a house that had a significant amount of damages that came along with it. Once i began working on the home i quickly realized how much work this project would become. Upon accessing the amount of work it would be i decided i needed a general contractor. Going with Tyler at Lake Living Consultants was a great decision. Being new to a project like this i needed the guidance and the expertise that Tyler definitely provided. Along the way i cam across multiple questions in the project that he was able to answer and make suggestions on. The 5 month project was smooth and stress free. My experience doing a house renovation project went so well that i am currently in search of my next home and i will not be looking past homes that need work done. Once i chose a new home i will without a doubt be hiring Lake Living Consultants once again. I have recommended Tyler to many other people since my project and will continue to do so.

Lake Living Consultants did a fantastic job on my house renovation. The project included excavation work, cement foundation including a two car garage, connector from garage to new sun room, new roof, framing, plumbing/heating, electrical, sheetrock, painting, flooring, insulators, gutters, and all hardware. Tyler Mathews was the coordinating general contractor whom oversaw the entire project from the initial design to the completed job. The entire project was done in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend you consider Lake Living Consultants for your construction project.

We have done multiple projects with LLC, of varying sizes. The latest and largest performed in 2019 was retrimming, rehabbing and residing our house and three car garage. We were very pleased with the results.Tyler preformed on budget and in a timely manner. He supervised and scrutinized his subcontractors in a diligent manner. Tyler is professional, pleasant,respectful and hard working. It is our pleasure to recommend him most highly.

Building on a lake is a difficult process with permits and waterfront rules. Lake Living Consultants was a tremendous help from the beginning to the end. Throughout the building process Lake Living Consultants (Tyler Mathews) kept all the contractors on schedule. The contractors they used were professional and very helpful and we were pleased with the quality of their work. The final results were amazing, even. better then what we expected. We would highly recommend them for any project but especially any lake front project.

These guys can do it all; truly one stop shopping! What a great find. Tyler's knowledge of the rules, regulations and ability to effectively navigate the permitting process made building a new house painless, fun and exciting for us. He offered great ideas, was realistic and very accurate with estimates. He was easy to work with and very flexible with his schedule, to accommodate mine. Tyler helped me in every aspect of the project. I trust him greatly and found super value in what we paid them for the services and work received. I look forward to working with him again on other projects. He gets a 10 out of 10.

Thanks to Tyler and the team at LLC for helping repair the roof at our family camp. They were quick to respond, consistent and clear with their communication and incredibly thorough in the work. We could not be onsite all the time and Tyler was quick to provide photos of the work and I trusted his careful management. Tyler is very well networked and since the completion of the roof has provided several referrals to contractors that have done high quality work at our home. I trust the team at LLC and Tyler and will certainly look forward to working with them on other projects big and small in the future. Thanks!!

For the cost per hr., I would have expected more bang for my buck. The company did meet with code enforcement at times. I'm not sure for how long each time as the invoices I received are not broken down as to how much time was spent on each consult so how would one know if the total hr. stated on the invoice are true. The company does pretty will with back and forth communications, but I had to do a lot of research on my own to find the answers to code questions.

We hired Lake Living Consultants to remodel our kitchen, which needed a lot of work! We knew what we wanted to do, but really not sure of all of the choices to make and needed help guiding us through the process and to give us some options for what we wanted to get done. We were very lucky to have had Tyler Matthews to work with on our kitchen, he was super helpful with suggestions and options to help us make the right choices. He was so easy to work with and made sure everything went smoothly for us throughout our remodeling project. He did a fantastic job in putting our ideas into reality. We could not be happier with the outcome and have a beautiful kitchen that is exactly what we dreamed it would be! We highly recommend Lake Living Consultants for any job you need done!

Tyler and his dad Scott are the most professional and knowledgeable contractors we've ever met. They transformed the old family camp property into our dream retirement home (a few years early!) Our new home is so much more than we ever imagined it would be. From the design stage through building process and afterward, every change or problem was met with a solution or "this is what we can do, instead". Tyler handled all headaches and the required permitting beautifully. The building schedule established at the beginning of the project was accurate and our home was completed in about 6 months time. The contractors they hired were local and just as knowledgeable and pleasant to work with as they were. The quality of their workmanship and materials is exceptional. We have lake house that we and our family can enjoy for decades to come. I would recommend them to anyone looking to remodel or build a new home. We couldn't be any happier.

Our experience with Lake Living Consultants was extremely positive start to finish! In the beginning, they worked closely with us to plan and develop our four car garage with an apartment above. Tyler and Scott listened to our ideas, but provided us with new, interesting options that worked with what we envisioned, including where the building fit best on the lot. Estimates for the project were very accurate, which allowed us to stay within budget at the end. The subcontractors chosen were reliable and efficient, while providing high quality workmanship. The project stayed on schedule and Lake Living Consultants kept us well informed of the progress and was there to oversee and inspect the work. Tyler has great ideas and will offer an opinion on color choice and design when you have trouble deciding. In the end, Lake Living Consultants provided us with exactly what we were looking for in quality, functionality and design. We highly recommend using LLC for any construction projects and we would definitely use them again. Rob and Kim Caron

First and most important for me was Tyler's ability to understand that I had NO construction experience and only a small idea for a design to expand my camp (circa 1939). Two meetings with Tyler and we had a rough sketch. Groundwork began immediately. The initial frame construction was completed as promised. The final weeks kept pace with my requests. All the work was quality. The transformation was more than I imagined. Tyler is a professional who has dependable contractors, completing all projects on time. Because there was a blending of the old camp with the new addition, some extras were required which meant original budget changed but Tyler made it clear what those changes would cost, leaving me options. I would highly recommend Tyler and Lake Living Consultants.
