Emerald Builders describes itself on its Houzz profile as a Maine green building construction company that builds custom energy efficient and net zero homes and remodels, and its website places it in Midcoast Maine. A 2016 customer said Reggie and his crew built a new house for them in 2014 and a deep energy renovation of an 1850 farmhouse in 2013. That 2016 customer added that the post move-in blower door test on the new house yielded the lowest reading the energy auditor had ever seen. A 2016 customer who designed a renovation said Emerald Builders performed structural repairs and addressed insulation and air sealing issues in an old home, then turned a worn-out kitchen and bath into bright, new spaces. A 2016 customer described a kitchen renovation in a house built in 1962: existing cabinets removed, a new 6' window, existing barn boards worked in with new drywall, and a new cabinetry layout, counter-top, island and sink. A 2016 customer said Emerald Builders built their father a small, super-insulated house. A 2016 customer said Reggie and his team helped restore an old barn at what they were convinced was a fair price, and that Reggie always cleaned up after himself. A 2016 customer said the job was finished on time and on budget. A countertop fabricator wrote in 2016 that it had worked with Emerald Builders on projects throughout Maine. A 2020 customer wrote that someone building a structure that is not conventional stick-built needs a builder who listens, has the skills to deliver and can navigate the relationship, and that Emerald does.

Emerald Builders is an excellent company to work with. When you are building something that is not "a conventional stick-built' structure, you want the people doing the work to 1) listen and understand what's important to you, 2) have the skills and knowledge to deliver, 3) have the interpersonal skills to navigate the relationship along the way. It's really hard for a business to have all three. But Emerald does.
We were extremely pleased with the quality of work, their ideas to improve our original design and their schedule. We have already had them back for a smaller project and will contact them again in the future if we need their expertise.
Emerald Builders are the best! Professional, very high quality work, knowledgable, efficient, friendly. Great leadership. Great attitude. The job was finished on time and on budget.
As a countertop fabricator we have had the pleasure to work with Emerald Builders on projects throughout Maine. We have found them to be a great partner in every aspect. From early design concepts to scheduling, to the level of detail they both provide and execute, they deliver. Their attention to detail is evident throughout the building process and is one of their hallmarks. When the call comes in that we will be working on one of their projects, it’s always a very good thing.
30+ year old kitchen renovation (house was built in 1962, we purchased in 1975, this will be the second renovation). Starting with removal of existing cabinets and various wall coverings (sheet rock, wood). New 6' window. Incorporating existing barn boards and adding new drywall. New cabinetry layout, new counter-top, new island, new sink, keeping existing appliances. Emerald Builders worked with the ever-changing conditions due to the age of the house and pulled it all together within a reasonable time frame due to those changes. Excellent attention to detail. We chose Reggie and his crew because we knew we would get a top-notch finish.
