One recent customer hired Island Carpentry for relatively minor renovations, then extended the project into significant renovations to make the home wheelchair accessible, including a new kitchen, two bathrooms and a new heat pump. That customer said Mike and his team, particularly John, listened to their needs and that the project proceeded without any stress. The company describes itself as a residential contracting firm based on Georgetown Island that builds new homes, additions and renovations, with a focus on energy-efficient, net-zero, high-performance homes for Midcoast Maine. Its website lists Brunswick, Georgetown, Harpswell, Freeport, Yarmouth and Falmouth as its service area, and its BBB profile says the company was established in 1985. A recent customer described a clean and organized work area and changes and adjustments handled without issue. A 2026 customer said they had worked on a few different projects with Mike over the years and that everything was finished on time. A 2026 reviewer writing as a subcontractor for Mike said they had done about 20 houses with him over about 8 years, with trades such as electricians and plumbers on the job on time. A 2017 HomeAdvisor customer said that after both parties signed a contract, he requested additional compensation for the work once the job was completed and increased the material expenses, and that the customer needed to seek legal counsel.

We hired Island Carpentry to undertake relatively minor renovations on our home. We were thoroughly satisfied with their craftsmanship and attention to detail, which prompted us to extend the project to encompass significant renovations to make the home wheelchair accessible including the construction of a new kitchen, two bathrooms, new heat pump, and other enhancements. Mike and his team, particularly John, were an exceptional pleasure to collaborate with throughout the entire process. Not only did they listen to our needs and dreams, they ensured that the project proceeded without any stress. We wholeheartedly recommend their services and would not hesitate to work with them again.
Good crew, they maintained a clean and organized work area and handled changes and adjustments without issue. Overall, a reliable and skilled team that delivered high-quality results. I would gladly work with them again on future projects.
Worked on a few different projects with Mike over the years and they've all been great experiences. High quality craftsmanship, communication was easy, and everything was finished on time. What more could you ask for? Would recommend his services!
We have been working with Mike for about 8 years now and have done about 20 houses over the course of that time. All material and trades such as electricians and plumbers are always on job on time and get done in a timely fashion and we have never had any problems. As a sub contractor for Mike we have never had any problems or issues, jobs are always ran very smoothly and efficiently and we look forward to doing much more work with Mike in the future
Please be cautious in regards to hiring this contractor. He will provide a contract for both parties to sign, but once the job was completed he requested additional compensation for the work performed and increased the material expenses. I needed to seek legal counsel.
