  “We absolutely loved working with Jay and his team at Downeast Homes on our first home. They were incredibly reliable, talented, and genuinely fun to be around – they really took the time to understand our vision and bring it to life. Jay was also fantastic at keeping us informed and on track with both the budget and the schedule. We’ve since decided to build another home, and without a second thought, we chose Downeast Homes again. The second project is currently underway and progressing really smoothly, just like the first. We wholeheartedly recommend them!” report abuse

  Jay Carlson did an absolutely incredible job building my summer home. From September 2022 through April 2023, he tackled a truly challenging project – getting a house built on Vinalhaven during that time was almost impossible. Coordinating ferry schedules, sourcing materials on the island, and working within the limitations of short workdays and the winter weather was remarkable. The finished house is exceptionally well-built and the finishing work is fantastic. He even went above and beyond by creating custom windows to perfectly match my stained glass. Honestly, it's rare to find a custom home builder you genuinely trust and appreciate once the project is complete, but I feel incredibly blessed to have had Jay build my house. report abuse

  Working with Downeast Homes was truly a fantastic experience – and it still is! From the very beginning, Jay and his team were a pleasure to have around, offering brilliant ideas and patiently answering all our questions with a great sense of humor. They really became like friends, and you can see the care and attention to detail they put into our new home; it’s honestly exceptional and something we’ve received so many compliments on. We’ve even brought them back to expand our deck and build a studio, and we’re already planning our next project with them. Their expertise and skill level are simply unmatched! report abuse
