Happy, Safe, Predictable Home Remodeling.

What Great Northern customers and trade partners have to say:

As a first time home owner with a completely unfinished second floor of a house, I was lucky enough to find GNB. They worked closely with us to design a floor plan within budget and then seamlessly organized multiple trade partners one after another to finish the job. Everything stayed within the timeline and the quote. Couldn’t have asked for better quality. We highly recommend GNB for any major home projects!

When you hire someone to come into your home for a renovation project, you want to know you can trust them to do a good job. The Great Northern Builders team quickly earned our trust and were extremely professional. We are very pleased with the outcome of our project!

– J. C. Kittery, ME

We have had two outstanding experiences with Great Northern Builders. In 2022 we hired them to remodel our 900 sq ft addition that had previously been our office/shop into a future aging-in-place first floor apartment for us. In 2023 we had a pipe burst in our main house that caused significant damage to part of our first floor and basement. We felt very fortunate that we were able to engage Great Northern Builders to take on the restoration project. In addition to repairing the damage, we took advantage of the opportunity to make some renovations that we had been thinking about before the damage and are very pleased with the results.

Without reservation, we highly recommend Great Northern Builders. From the owners to the tradespeople we have nothing but praise to say for the creative planning, the management and the work that was so efficiently and beautifully completed!

Great Northern Builders did a full gut demolition and framing of a historic two-family that we own, and also installed two balconies on the rear side of the building. They were great to work with – conscientious, hard working and communicative – and on top of that they did great work. Highly recommend.

– K.M. Dover, NH

We chose to work with Great Northern Builders on the gut renovation of our family’s 1906 home because they were responsive and had a thorough proposal and project plan. They were wonderful to work with; detailed, forthright, on time and excellent craftspeople. We are very excited with the final results!

My company has worked for Great Northern Builders on several projects as a trade partner. They are phenomenal to work for – they are incredibly organized, easy to communicate with, and they always pay all invoices quickly. We always look forward to a partnership with them on any project!

If you’re a homeowner and you choose Great Northern Builders for a renovation, rest assured you’ll be getting top quality work, honesty, and far above average communication…a major rarity in the trades world!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Great Northern Builders and I cannot express how impressed I am with their exceptional service from start to finish.

From the outset, their professionalism stood out. The team at Great Northern Builders demonstrated a high level of expertise and commitment to excellence. Their attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that every aspect of the project was meticulously planned and executed.

One of the standout qualities of Great Northern Builders is their unwavering integrity. They consistently prioritized transparency and honesty throughout the entire process, providing a level of trust and reliability that is often hard to find in the construction industry. This commitment to integrity gave me peace of mind and confidence in their work.

The end-to-end support I received from Great Northern Builders was truly commendable. They are dedicated to clients every step of the way, ready to offer valuable insights and solutions to challenges that can arise during a project. Their team is dedicated to customer satisfaction with a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that a vision for a project is realized.

The comprehensive process and communication channels established by Great Northern Builders further set them apart. They keep clients informed at every stage, fostering an environment of clear and open communication. This proactive approach can also streamline the construction process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Great Northern Builders to anyone seeking a reliable and top-notch construction partner for their projects.

The view outside the kitchen has always been quite beautiful. The kitchen space itself, not so spectacular, and that’s being very generous. Great Northern Builders have turned my space into something that now rivals the outdoor view! Fantastic company and people who are professional and personable while maintaining the highest standards. I would gladly recommend GNB to anyone and will use them again!

– L.S. Dover, NH

“Considering that this work was done in the midst of the Covid pandemic, thereby limiting contact, I feel everything worked out very well. GNB does beautiful work and has an expert crew. I felt in good hands at all times. I am very happy with all the improvements in my living space.”

– D.C. South Berwick, ME

“I want to thank Scott for having the cleanest, neatest worksite I have ever seen!”
