Custom Home Construction in Scarborough, ME
Custom Built Primary Home & In-Law Apartment - Family Compound
When a realtor from Southern Maine contacted Eco-Pro Construction regarding her client's desire to build a new home, we eagerly embraced the opportunity to realize this homeowner's dream. The client required a primary residence and an apartment unit situated above an extra-tall, attached, two-car garage, for a total of 3,000 square feet of living space.
Client's 5-Star Review
"Having never been through the home building process before, we were nervous about what the experience would be like and with Eric, we truly enjoyed the entire process. Eric is a wonderful communicator; anytime we had questions, he would get back to us immediately and he kept us up to date on our project from start to finish. We appreciated his transparency with options and pricing and felt like all of the preferred vendors were so kind and accommodating to us. The crew were all so nice and skilled at their craft; we are still amazed by their craftsmanship; from framing to finish work, they truly did an incredible job. The entire process was fun, low stress and exciting and we have Eric to thank for that. Through the entire project, we felt cared for and if given the opportunity to work with Eric and his team again, we would do it in a heartbeat; they took our dream home from paper to final product and we couldn't be happier with the results." - Colleen Yee
Starting the Project: Preparing the Building Lot
With approvals secured, we began clearing the lot and laying out plans for the home location in mid-November. As the temperature dropped, we took additional measures to safeguard the quality of the foundation. The harsh winter conditions presented various challenges, but through meticulous planning and decades of experience, we successfully addressed potential issues and continued with the home construction throughout the winter months.
Framing & Exterior
Eco-Pro Construction began framing the building on December 6th and continued with the installation of windows, doors, trusses, roofing, and exterior sheathing. The framing phase took about eight weeks to complete.
Insulation, Electrical and Plumbing
With the framing finalized, it was time for the electricians to wire both the primary home and the adjoining apartment. The apartment featured a built-in electric fireplace that required wiring for the fireplace insert. Following that, we proceeded to install insulation and the primary plumbing systems across both units.
Exterior Siding Installation
As the warmer temperatures of Spring arrived, we completed the installation of the exterior clapboard style and board and batten siding. We'll also show you the exterior heat pump systems. Take a look at our video walking tour of the exterior.
Interior Sheetrock, Trim & Doors
Next, we concentrated on finishing the interior by putting up Sheetrock and preparing it for painting. All the trim work around the doors and windows was completed, and the interior doors were installed prior to starting the painting.
Kitchen & Living Area
The flooring has been installed and is below the protective cover. We're installing the kitchen cabinetry, and have completed the installation of the pantry shelves and staircase railing. The closet doors are painted and ready for installation.
Attention to Detail
Integrity in construction means paying attention to every detail to ensure quality construction throughout the project.
