About Newman Homes

Newman Homes handles the full spectrum of residential and commercial construction throughout Central Maine. We build custom homes from foundation to finish, complete whole-house remodels, and construct detached garages designed for Maine's heavy snow loads. Our team installs composite and cedar decks with proper ice dam prevention, replaces roofs with architectural shingles or standing seam metal, and sides homes with fiber cement and vinyl engineered for coastal weather.

For commercial clients, we manage retail buildouts, office renovations, and restaurant construction with minimal business disruption. Every project—whether a 50-square-foot bathroom remodel or a 3,000-square-foot custom build—receives the same detailed planning, quality materials, and skilled installation Brandon honed over 25+ years building luxury homes across three states.

We're licensed, insured, and BBB Certified, serving homeowners and businesses throughout Augusta, Gardiner, Waterville, and surrounding Kennebec Valley communities.

Brandon's 25+ years building luxury custom homes taught him something most contractors miss: clients don't just want quality work—they want to understand what's happening and when. That's why we provide detailed project schedules before work begins, send progress photos twice weekly, and answer calls the same day, not three days later.

Our team approach means you're never dependent on one person. Project manager Richard B coordinates trades and timelines, office manager Joe B handles permits and scheduling, and lead foreman Elijah R oversees daily site work. This structure prevented the delays that plague single-operator contractors when someone gets sick or juggling multiple jobs.

Since 2017, we've maintained our 4.7-star Google rating by finishing 94% of projects within the original timeline and budget—a metric we track because it matters to homeowners making financial decisions. You get Florida-level craftsmanship at Maine prices, backed by a team who treats your renovation like we're building it for ourselves.

Newman Homes started with a simple promise: bring resort-quality construction standards to every project, from garage builds to complete custom homes. Brandon assembled a core team including project manager Richard B, office manager Joe B, and lead foreman Elijah R to ensure every client receives the personalized service and expert execution that defined his Florida and Massachusetts projects.

Since 2017, we've completed over 200 projects across Augusta and Kennebec County, earning our 4.7-star rating through consistent quality and transparent communication. What started as one contractor with a vision has grown into Central Maine's trusted name for residential and commercial construction that actually gets finished on time and within budget.

Brandon brings techniques and quality standards from building luxury custom homes in Florida and Massachusetts since the late 1990s. You get construction expertise refined across three different building codes, climate zones, and client expectations—not a contractor learning on your project.

Our four-person core team ensures your project keeps moving. While single-operator contractors juggle everything alone, you have Richard managing schedules, Joe handling permits, Elijah supervising site work, and Brandon overseeing quality—specialization that prevents the delays common with one-person operations.

Since 2017, we've finished 94% of our projects within the original timeline and budget we quoted. We track this metric monthly because it reflects our realistic estimating and project planning—not the wishful timelines and lowball quotes that lead to cost overruns and delays.
