A recent Google customer built a new home in Village Circle in Brunswick with John Libby and his team, and said the team guided them through finalizing all of the interior selections. A 2025 customer who sold a family home to build a new house said Libby's team laid out the full process at their first meeting, and that everything begun at that meeting came to pass exactly as the team detailed. That 2025 customer worked with the design team on revised plans and asked for an arched entryway. In a separate 2025 review, a customer used John Libby for a semi-custom home build on the water and called the house very energy efficient. A 2024 customer who had a new home built said they made a few upgrades and add-ons along the way, and called John and his team responsive. On HomeAdvisor, a 2021 customer said project manager Corey stayed on top of things throughout the installation, that the 3-man team completed the job within the time frame promised, and that Corey did a final walk-around to make sure no bits of old shingles or nails were left in the yard. A 2022 customer wrote that the crew completed the job in one day, as promised, and felt confident about the roof going into winter. A 2025 Google reviewer gave one star, blaming the company for an environmental disaster on Pleasant Hill Road and writing of "the oldest forests still in Brunswick". A pressherald.com article has named John Libby Construction Inc. among Midcoast developers pushing to build new, energy-efficient homes. Its BBB grade is A+.
“As owners locked into low-rate mortgages remain reluctant to sell, Midcoast developers Brett Davis Real Estate and John Libby Construction Inc. are pushing to build new, energy-efficient homes to ease the region’s housing crunch.”
I couldn't be happier with my experience building a new home in Village Circle (Brunswick) with John Libby and his team. From start to finish, they were incredible to work with. They were exceptionally efficient in guiding me through the entire process—especially when helping me finalize all of the interior selections. The quality of materials and the level of craftsmanship throughout the home are top-notch. I love my new house and would highly recommend John Libby Construction to anyone looking for an efficient, high-quality home builder!
When I sold my family home, I decided to build a new house, something I've always wanted to do, and at last, the time was right. I had a good idea of what I wanted for size and style, but I needed to find a builder I could trust to create something amazing, well made, and in line with my own vision. I interviewed several highly recommended builders, but John Libby stood out as incredibly professional. It was an easy choice, and among the best I've ever made. From our first meeting, Libby's team laid out the full process in exceptional detail, from start to finish. I cannot begin to express how valuable that was to me, but what's more amazing is that now that the house is complete & I'm living here comfortably, I can say that everything we began at that first meeting came to pass, exactly as the team detailed. The professionalism is A+++ - absolutely outstanding. I worked with the design team and revised plans until it was exactly what I wanted - an easy and surprisingly quick process. Unlike past experiences, they easily understood what I wanted and gave helpful advice throughout. Choices, from major to minor, were clear, simple and nothing was overlooked. The team who helped me select such things as cabinets and lighting were wonderful, and they made choosing so easy. My house is exquisite. To the smallest detail, everything radiates the quality of the John Libby team's skill and diligence. When I asked for unusual features, such as my arched entryway, their design and creation exceeded my fondest expectations. They were wonderful, too, about giving me financially reasonable choices, which helped me a great deal. I was lucky enough to be living across the street from my build site (an old pasture we'd used for our horses, & who next year will be living beyond my new lawn.) From the beginning, through blasting and the foundation, I was able to watch the progress, and see the quality of the work along the way. A process that can be stressful was, instead, immensely satisfying and rewarding, and best of all, I'm now living in the house of my dreams, in great comfort, and every day, I'm reminded how grateful I am to John and his incredible, skilled team. It truly has been one of the best experiences in my life. All my thanks and gratitude!
The environmental disaster on pleasant hill road the this company has wrought is horrifying. One the oldest forests still in Brunswick, blight by this company's greed.
We used John Libby for a semi-custom home build on the water. We can't say enough good things about the house and the team that built it. The house is top-notch construction and beautiful. Very energy efficient, too. John and his team are honest, friendly, and clean. They do top-notch work and we would highly recommend them.
When we decided to have a new home built by John Libby Construction, we never imagined how wonderful John and his team would be to work with. Our home is more beautiful and perfectly designed for us than we dreamed it would be. They were professional, very knowledgeable, skilled, and patient (this is the first time we have built a home). The attention to detail and the craftsmanship shows throughout the house. John and his team were easy to work with as we navigated through the process. We made a few upgrades, we asked lots of questions along the way, and we made a few add ons. John and his team were friendly, extremely patient and helpful, and importantly to us, responsive. We would highly recommend John Libby Construction to anyone considering having a home built in Maine. If we ever build again, we will definitely use John Libby Construction.
