“In 2015, Lake Living Consultants made my lifetime dream come true - a home built on my family property in Shapleigh, Maine. Tucked in the corner of a field provides the perfect setting to watch wildlife of all kinds, stars at night and catch the breeze as it blows through our open living space! From the first meeting to our last, Tyler and Scott provided wonderful services. From Scott's gift with design to Tyler's natural talent with color and everything that looks great, we were more than pleased. All permits and inspections were done by them which made for a smooth process. The father and son team took a great interest in the project from the start as was evident in deciding the perfect placement of the building. Their attention to detail, use of the best sub contractors and materials made for a great experience! I was particularly impressed with how efficient Tyler was in returning calls, always there to answer a question and help make decisions on everything! They were very flexible in allowing us to interject ideas as we went through the building process. It was wonderful to watch Tyler, whom I've known since he was a little boy, take the lead in the building of our home in such a professional, caring manner. If you want a well built home, choosing Lake Living Consultants will provide you with a wonderful experience! Ty, As I wrote these words, I found myself frustrated because I can't make the words express what a wonderful job you did last year! I will never be able to thank you enough for all your expert help! - Jane and Bob Kirton, Shapleigh, Maine”

“Steve was a great partner to work with on our recent net zero Design/Build collaboration! Steve was able to take our detailed list of design requirements and create an incredibly functional home plan that ultimately satisfied all of our needs and desires. Highlights of our project included: - The final home plan was the product of a highly collaborative and iterative design process that relied upon 3D renderings and walkthroughs to test and review the plan at each stage of design. This allowed us to validate the plan and, where necessary, make adjustments before construction actually started. We can honestly say that there is nothing material we would change about the design. - Steve’s extensive background in modular and net zero construction ensured an extremely energy-efficient home (HERS score of 11) - Our building envelope presented some interesting positional challenges that Steve was able to solve elegantly and efficiently. - Steve not only accommodated our desire to do the interior finishing work (i.e., cabinetry, tiling, flooring, painting, etc.) ourselves, but in fact actively facilitated our ability to do so by adjusting his build plan to complete our workshop well before the rest of the house was completed. We love our new home and cannot recommend Steve highly enough! Juergen and Joan Renger Freeport, ME”

“Quality that is rare today. Fenton Varney was recommended to me by a very happy client, after I bemoaned the lack of "old-world" quality in home construction . I plan to have them handle our kitchen, formal entrance, master bath, and porch remodel.”

“Ivan is fabulous at what he does. His subs are all top notch, always on time and professional. Would I use him again? You bet - we're working on another potential project right now. Ivan has great ideas and he listens to your ideas and suggests alternatives to that crazy design idea you have in your mind. Wonderful to work with but most of all he and his team are dependable.”

“Dana renovated our house nearly 20 years ago and is working with us again to do some additions and reconfiguring. He has a great eye in addition to being very thorough about the details. He takes pride in the aesthetic as well as the quality of the actual construction. We are excited to be working with him again in this house we love.”

“I hired Classic Building & Design Company to configure shelving in my dining room closet to fit specific needs. I hired them because a couple of years ago they had done extensive work in my 100 year old New Englander which included a new kitchen, two bathrooms and an upstairs laundry room, plus upgrading electrical and heating system. They did a truly great job. Always took time to discuss problem-solving, made sensitive and practical suggestions and listened carefully to my ideas and concerns. The outcome was much better than anything I could have imagined on my own just because they have so much experience and knowledge of available materials.”

“We re still in the early stages of working on our project, but so far everything has been wonderful. Working with Matt has been easy, fun and enlightening. We are confident this will continue as the process moves forward.”
