Planning a project and wondering what it might cost?

We focus on building simple, durable spaces with thoughtful design and efficient construction. In many cases, there are ways to simplify the build ~ reducing unnecessary time and cost without sacrificing how the finished space looks or performs.

 

Below are typical price ranges for additions, decks, and structural repairs in Midcoast Maine. These ranges are meant to help you get a rough sense of budget before reaching out. Final pricing depends on site conditions, access and design.

​​​

​​

~Additions~

A typical small addition (12x16 / 192 sq ft)

$56k - 75k finished

​

We specialize in finding efficient way to build, allowing some projects to be completed for less than this range without sacrificing durability.

​

What effects price:

• Bathrooms/kitchens (adds cost quickly)

• Site access and design complexity

• Tie-in to existing house

• Finish level

​

Most additions fall roughly between $250-400 per sq ft finished, depending on complexity and finish level. 

Simpler additions with straightforward design and finish can often be completed at the lower end of the range.

​​

~Decks~

We build clean, durable decks with a focus on efficient design and straightforward construction.

 

​Pressure treated - $75-110 / sq ft

12x16 - $14-21k

​​

Cedar - $90-140 / sq ft

12x16 - $19-27k

​​

What effects price:

• Height and stairs

• Railings (big one)

• Site access/slope

• Footings

• Built-ins (benches, planters, etc.)

​

Ground-level decks without railings and simple design fall on the lower end. Elevated decks with stairs and railings fall on the higher end.
