General Contracting for Residential Projects & New Home Building

Southern Maine: 207.605.2055

We design and build the highest quality new homes, additions and renovations to residential buildings in Greater Portland, Southern Maine and the Midcoast. We do that by lending our expertise to your vision. With experienced custom builders and craftsmen, thoughtful planning, and a value placed on great communication, our team will take your inspiration from design to reality.

Being a design-build firm, our integrated team shares a single timeline, delivering incredibly high quality results while easing your risk and management responsibilities. We are also fully accountable for cost, schedule and quality as we work toward our shared goal of creating a space that you love and we can be proud of.

Design-Build… a Unified Flow from Concept Through Completion

Active construction management is at the heart of our success.

Unique and inspired custom homes are the final output, but residential construction is just one aspect of our work. A construction project involves many layers and decisions. We also handle permitting, planning, design, and engineering.

If that sounds like a lot of work, don’t worry.

You don’t need to be an expert. You also don’t need to brace yourself for a stressful process. You just need us. Designing and building houses is what we do best, and we’re ready to bring you along for the fun.

That means we’ll walk you through estimates, explain the lingo, and keep you up to date on how construction is progressing every step of the way. We’ll also make sure that everyone on our team understands the priorities and vision you hold for the new home, renovation or addition we are building together.

Maine Custom Home Design: From Traditional to Contemporary

Designing and building in Maine - which is one of the hottest markets in the country, and is also home to some of the oldest housing stock in the country - has given us the unique opportunity to work on contemporary and environmentally-friendly green homes as well as cottages, traditional designs and historic renovations.

We come to your project with vast experience, ready to work in any architectural language you envision for your building project.

Kitchen and Bath Design & Renovation

Kitchen and bathrooms make the biggest splash!

When it’s time to renovate your outdated kitchen or bath, our team can make your vision a reality. Our in-house kitchen designer will start by guiding you through every decision – from cabinetry and built-ins to countertops and professional chef-grade appliances – that will make your custom kitchen the centerpiece of your home.

From there, we’ll coordinate all aspects of constructing your new kitchen or bath - from plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and lighting design to tile work, cabinetry, custom millwork and finish carpentry.

Historic Renovations & Preservation

Our team has years of experience bringing old homes back to life.

We’ll start by visiting your site to understand the work you want done – we’ll also research the history of the structure, and any requirements from your town’s historical preservation or zoning board. When it’s time, our construction project manager will work with you to meet requirements and file the appropriate applications with your city or town.

Then the fun begins. Hay Runner creates and restores beautiful structures from years past to be used comfortably today. Because we bring architects, builders, custom millwork and project managers together all under one roof, working with Hay Runner means you’ll have a seamless transition from designing to completion.
