We spoke with several contractors before choosing Legacy Construction and are glad we did. Their communication was excellent, and they handled every detail of our project with care. They take pride in their work, and it shows in the final product.

It’s hard to find a trustworthy contractor these days, let alone one that cares about the all the details that can easily get lost in the grand scheme of the project. Legacy Construction threaded that needle, and many others, expertly. Looking forward to the next time we can work together.

OUR SERVICES

House Plans and Design in Kennebunk

Designs That Did Not Match the Setting You have been through the gap between design and build.

House plans and design Kennebunk ME Legacy Construction
You live near Summer Street in Kennebunk and you know what good construction looks like in this town. The plans you explored earlier were generic, disconnected from the budget, or handed off to a builder who had more questions than the designer could answer.

A designer delivered plans without a builder at the table. A contractor priced them and found scope issues that required revisions. Months passed and the permit was still not submitted. The build date you wanted kept moving further away.

Every month without finished plans costs you:
  • We show up when we say we will, every single time

  • We build exactly what we planned and agreed on


  • A building permit clock that has not even started yet
  • Months of delays once construction starts due to incomplete drawings


  • The design you want next year will cost more than it does today

Stop cycling through designs that do not build. Call (207) 544-4607.
