Home / What We Build
From Footing to Final Walkthrough
One contractor, one contract, one point of accountability — for everything from a single dormer to a 12,000-square-foot warehouse.
Pine State self-performs the structural work and manages every sub on the schedule. We pull the permits, coordinate the trades, and hand you a building that's plumb, square, and on budget. Here's the full scope of what we take on.
Custom Home Builds
Ground-up homes designed for Maine — deep frost footings, conditioned crawlspaces, and exteriors that shrug off ice dams. We build your stamped plans or refine a design with you, then self-perform the frame so the bones are right.
Frost footings · Conditioned crawlspace · High-performance envelopeAdditions & Dormers
More square footage without the move. We tie new structure into old framing cleanly, match your rooflines and siding profiles, and sequence the work so your family keeps living in the house while we build.
Second-story · In-law suites · Bump-outs · DormersGarages & Outbuildings
Detached garages, workshops, and barns built on real foundations — slab or frost wall — with trusses engineered for the snow loads this latitude actually sees. Wired, insulated, and finished to whatever level you need.
Slab or frost wall · Engineered trusses · Heated shopsCommercial & Light Industrial
Retail fit-ups, offices, and pre-engineered steel buildings. We coordinate civil, electrical, mechanical, and life-safety so you hit your certificate of occupancy and open on schedule.
Tenant fit-ups · Steel buildings · Office build-outsDecks, Porches & Exteriors
Pressure-treated and composite decks, three-season porches, and siding that's flashed and detailed to keep water where it belongs — out. Proper ledger attachment, footings below frost, and railings to code.
Composite decks · Screened porches · Siding & trimStructural Repair
Sagging floors, failing sills, settled foundations. We diagnose the real problem — not just the symptom — jack the structure back to level, and rebuild it right the first time so it stays that way.

Standard on Every Job
The things some contractors call upgrades, we call the right way to build in Maine.
Self-Performed Framing
The structural frame is set by Pine State carpenters who answer to Dale, not a subcontractor we met last week.
Air-Sealing & Drainage
Ice-and-water shield, properly lapped house wrap, and a continuous drainage plane come standard — not as a line-item upsell.
Coordinated Trades
We run the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical schedule so trades aren't tripping over each other or your timeline.
Code & Inspections
Every permit pulled, every inspection scheduled, every certificate filed in your project folder before we close out.
