Home Repairs • Carpentry • Renovations
A home should feel
well cared for.
Fort Haven is a locally owned home repair, renovation and carpentry company serving Southern Maine and parts of New Hampshire. From everyday repairs and exterior carpentry to decks, porches, bathrooms, windows and doors, we help homeowners take care of the places they live.
Our purpose
Good work starts with understanding what your home needs.
We take the time to understand what you're trying to improve, what's working now, and what isn't. From there, we build a clear plan and keep you informed as the work moves forward.
Some customers call us about a bathroom or kitchen renovation. Others need a new deck, replacement doors, exterior carpentry, structural changes or a smaller project that's finally ready to get done. We want Fort Haven to be a company homeowners can call for all of those things.
Whatever the size of the project, our expectations stay the same: show up prepared, communicate clearly, build it correctly and leave behind work we're proud to put the Fort Haven name on.
Structural renovations
Open up a room. Make the house work better.
Older homes don't always fit the way families live today. Opening a wall, widening a doorway or changing a window opening can improve natural light, sightlines and the way rooms connect.
Fort Haven handles the carpentry and structural side of these projects, including framing, beams, new openings, windows and doors, while coordinating licensed trades or engineering when the project requires them.
How we help
More than one
kind of project.
From a focused carpentry project to a complete room renovation, Fort Haven brings the same planning, communication and attention to the work.
Bathrooms
Bathroom renovations ranging from practical updates to complete rebuilds.
Decks & Porches
New decks, porch improvements, stairs, railings and outdoor carpentry built for Maine weather.
Windows & Doors
Replacement windows and doors, reframing, weatherproofing and clean interior and exterior trim.
Kitchens
Kitchen updates and renovations built around everyday function, storage and the way your family uses the room.
Carpentry & Home Improvements
Interior and exterior carpentry, siding and trim work, rot replacement, framing, flooring and the projects that don't always fit neatly into one category.
Structural Openings
Wall removal, larger openings and framing changes that improve light, flow and function.
