What Our Clients are Saying

“My husband and I have had a summer camp on Sebago Lake for almost 40 years. For us and our two daughters it is without a doubt our favorite spot on Earth. We loved our camp so much that when we finally finished off tuition payments, we decided to fix up the house so it would be in good shape to pass on to our daughters. We met with 4 builders; all of whom recommended our beloved camp with all its 100+ years of character be torn down and rebuilt. That was simply out of the question. We proceeded with our search for the proper renovator. Our neighbor recommended Joe Williams and his team. When we interviewed Joe we were pleasantly surprised by his sympathy for our situation. Then he gave us his thoughts on how practical it would be to tear down and rebuild. He took the time to discuss the disadvantages of remodeling and the advantages of the rebuild. Despite our misgivings, this seemed like something we should seriously consider. The way he patiently and professionally spoke to us actually got us excited about the rebuild. He was more than willing to incorporate some of the features we loved about the old place into the new; we have many recycled parts in our new home.

We wound up tearing the old place down in 2013 and it was rebuilt, as promised, in time for our daughter’s wedding in 2014.

Rebuilding the camp changed our lives, literally. Soon after we began to think about how much we loved the new camp which was now a lake house and wondered if we could live there year-round. Of course, with all the limitations placed on building on a small lakefront lot it was a challenge, but since 2014 Joe and his crew have come back and done as many expansions and renovations as town code will allow. For some of the projects we’ve been living here, and it’s worked out just fine. Each and every time Joe has had the best crews; skilled, honest and friendly. He does background checks on each and every person who comes on to our property. His people come when they say they will. The completion dates are accurate. He is involved wholeheartedly in every phase of the project. He works closely with the town code officer to make sure there will be no future problems. He has done such a great job we sold our primary residence and live on the lake year-round! We think the house is perfect for us and our growing family.

Another added benefit of Joe and his crew are the subcontractors he uses. We have a network of people to call now in case we need some help around the house. In Maine, that’s priceless.

With Lakeside Construction you will get a home you will love built by honest people who do a great job at a reasonable price. What more could you want?”

We can’t thank Joe Williams and Lakeside enough for building a spectacular home on the Lake for us to enjoy for years to come with our family and friends. Thank you again for all you have done for us…we ❤❤❤ our new home”

“We owned a summer camp on Peabody Pond, Sebago, ME for many years and wanted to change it to a year-round house. After meeting with Joe Williams and his crew from Lakeside Construction, Inc we knew that these were the people who would help make our dream come true. They are fabulous!! From the removal of our camp to the creation of our lake house, we couldn’t ask for more. They created a house with all the modern conveniences we wanted, but kept a real “cabin-in-the-woods” feel! They’re professional, clean, and pay complete attention to detail. They are organized, on-time and extremely creative. They were always right there with suggestions to make any desire a reality. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our beautiful house! Mr. Williams was always there to answer all of my questions as a first time home builder, suggest ways to avoid mistakes we asked for, or to correct those mistakes that were made due to our choices. Anne asked me why I chose Lakeside, without actually having seen any of their work, and I said that they just “felt right” for the job, and I was proven right.”

“It may or not be unusual to build your dream home when you are retired and north of 60 years of age, but that is exactly the prospect we faced five years ago. We inherited a property on Highland Lake in Windham, Maine which was a good start, but the existing cottage was run down, and virtually impossible to renovate. Knowing that there are complicated restrictions on lakeside construction we began our search at the Windham Town Hall in the Codes Enforcement Office where we hoped they could offer some guidance on where to begin.

We checked out a home being built on Little Sebago by Lakeside Construction Inc. hoping to tour the new construction, and immediately met Joe Williams. He dropped what he was doing and gave us a tour of his construction and answered a multitude of questions, and that is when we realized we had found our contractor. He knew what he was doing, and understood all the rules and restrictions of lakeside construction.

Over the course of the next several months Joe guided us through every step of the way in building our dream home. He was very professional and knowledgeable and was always accessible and certainly addressed every concern and question we had before, during, and even post construction.

Construction of our lakeside home began in late Fall, and one of our biggest requests of Joe was to have us in our new home by June so that we could enjoy that summer, and Joe came through for us!! We still keep in touch with Joe, and he has assisted us in other projects as well over the years!! Lakeside Construction has our highest recommendation. Contact him to build your dream home, and you will see in him what we saw!!!!”

“I had a devastating fire destroy my home. It was just my son, Jason and myself to deal with this disaster. I did not know where to turn. I hired Lakeside Construction to rebuild for me. As soon as I hired Joe Williams, he took over, working with the insurance company and getting things done.

I worked with Joe’s drafter and designed a completely different style home, eliminating the painful memories. I now have a beautiful new home which I absolutely love. The quality is outstanding!!

I certainly would recommend Lakeside Construction.

Thank you, Joe!!”
