Featured Reviews for Home Builders & Construction Companies in Effingham.

Fenton W. Varney - Master Builders
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Effingham.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 July 2013
“Quality that is rare today. Fenton Varney was recommended to me by a very happy client, after I bemoaned the lack of "old-world" quality in home construction . I plan to have them handle our kitchen, formal entrance, master bath, and porch remodel.”
DUBE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION, INC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Effingham.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 July 2014
“We have used Dube Design & Construction for the following projects: Addition of a 3rd bay on our garage Replacement of our vinyl siding with Cement Board Installation of a patio Work, reliability and pricing have been outstanding.”
Sunspace Design, Inc.
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Effingham.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 January 2023
“We chose Sunspace Design over other companies because we wanted a custom sunroom- not a one-size-fits-all outfit that assembles pre-made components. They carefully listened to our wishes, and designed just what we asked for! They custom-build an 18' x 14' Glass Conservatory attached to our home. They also made helpful suggestions to give us a unique room, complete with varnished mahogany ceiling beams and an all-glass roof. Their workmen are professionals with many years of experience- not easy to find these days when anybody with a hammer can call themselves a carpenter. They strategically used cedar in places to assure no rotting wood in the decades to come. When we asked for changes along the way, they had the experience to know how to accomplish it. We also interviewed other sunroom companies, but they could only offer pre-fab units in limited sizes... basically, they were "assemblers" for large franchises- exactly what we didn't want. Sunspace Design builds custom rooms- based on what you want, how you want it, and something that doesn't look like it came from one of the 'Box Stores'. Tom, his son, JT, and their crew were all very qualified professionals, each with many years of experience. We highly recommend Sunspace Design!!!”
MAGUIRE CONSTRUCTION INC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Effingham.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2016
“Maguire remodeled our 1900 home in Cape Elizabeth and rebuilt our lakeside cabin in Bridgton. Their teams were professional, the work was impeccable, and everything was completed on time and within the estimated budgets. The detail work they did on some of the railings and trim was ingenious. As icing on the cake, the neighbors had only positive things to say about their interactions with Maguire's team.”
Great Northern Builders, Inc.
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Effingham.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 March 2016
“We had Great Northern Builders completely finish our large basement, and Len Bogh did a great job. I never thought we could transform that basement into such a comfortable living space. My husband, who recently retired, is now putting his home office down there and he loves the space. It is also great when we have all the family staying here over Christmas. We can sleep 4 or 5 people down there.”
Cargill Construction Co LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 July 2016
“Cargill designed and built our new home three years ago. They did a great job and we could not be happier with the result and the on going attention they have shown us since completion. We would use them again for sure.”

“John and his team are renovating our home in Waldoboro, Maine, and we couldn't be happier with the progress. The team has been wonderful to work with, involving us in every aspect of the job and really listening to our requests and dreams for our home. We are still a few months away from completion but already we know that it will be even more beautiful than we envisioned.”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service firm to design and build your entire Effingham, NH project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build construction for your home project below:

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build companies take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which oftens speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a design-and-build firm, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for aNew Hampshire design-builder who specializes in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-and-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
