A float dock over 100 feet long, run out into a tidal cove in Maine: that is the job a 2013 customer described Eric Smith and his crew building, with new stairs down the embankment pinned and tied into the bank. Oceanside Builders says it does most of its work on the coast of Maine. A 2015 customer said Eric Smith built their house on a ledge in Harpswell, and that after a hurricane, when a white pine near the house threatened to pull off the front porch, he had tree people there the next morning. A 2014 customer said designer David Matero drew the first concept, Oceanside Builders worked with the customer to complete the drawings, and Eric Smith helped create an efficient home within budget. A 2014 reviewer who works as an architect said the job site was always clean on multiple residential projects with Eric Smith. A 2013 customer said they had hired Oceanside Builders for many general contracting projects over ten years for a home in Harpswell, and had also hired it to manage the property maintenance and landscaping. A 2023 reviewer said there had been some delays due to the pandemic and because Eric Smith is busy.

Joe was extremely awesome from start to finish. I am extremely pleased with Joe’s work. He was very friendly and accommodating. We actually had a few laughs. Everything was done perfectly and in the timely manner I am so satisfied my friends and family have also went through Oceanside builders to get their bathroom remodel for affordable price
Oceanside Builders and the team were awesome from the quote to install to all the customer service reps checking in along the way. When we ripped up my carpet we found the floor was not level. Team quickly pivoted, leveled the floor that day so they could come back and finish the install the following day. Floors look great and I’m getting so many compliments. So happy I went with Oceanside! Amazing price and I can’t wait to schedule my basement flooring with this team.
Eric Smith, Builder - Quality, reliable, trustworthy, credible, ethical, high end custom projects, honest, and very easy to work with. Communicates extremely well with his customers and recently hired office staff to help coordinate work flow and follow up for the clients. Some delays due to pandemic in the past and because he is busy and very much in demand, but he will work diligently through to get the job done. I highly recommend Eric. He hires the best quality tradesmen too.
They were great. Our previous experience with different contractor wasn’t as pleasant as with Oceanside folks. They got what we wanted very quick without any problems. We are thrilled with the outcome and we’ll definitely recommend them!
Eric Smith built our dream house 12 years ago on a tremendously challenging location on a ledge in Harpswell. At the time we were still living in Chicago and put our total trust in him...which he deserved. He called us with suggestions of how to ensure a safe and beautiful home and when we arrived in the summer to move in...every detail had been carefully attended too. And an even more important point....since then we've called on him whenever something needed attending to and he's been right there. A few years ago, after a hurricane, a huge white pine near the front of the house(which he had suggested we cut down and I refused,) pulled away from the house and the root system was threatening to pull off the front porch. Eric had tree people there the next morning because of the reputation he's earned with other services. I give his name out to anyone who asks for the name of a great builder
