Highlights
- A flooded basement rebuilt — a 2024 customer said it came in under budget
- An on-time finish — a 2024 customer said work met their requested end date
- A conservatory stage — a 2023 customer said Will and his son built it
- Basement carpentry — a 2025 customer praised Tristan's carpentry on their basement
A 2024 customer said Maine Renovation rebuilt their gutted Falmouth Foreside basement after winter storms flooded it, completing the work within their requested end date and coming in under budget. That 2024 customer said Will and Tristan Zell responded immediately and gave a reasonable quote. The company describes itself as a specialist in unique and classic home renovations that has worked on New England housing stock for several decades, and it states 40 years in business. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade and accreditation. A 2023 customer from Cumberland described a basement bonus space and a more spacious mudroom and half-bath/laundry room, and said Will was creative in settling on a direction where they had no exact plans. Another job was not a house at all: a 2023 customer said Will and his son built a new stage at the Portland Conservatory. A 2025 customer said Tristan finished their basement and praised his carpentry skills.
