About Us

At Libby and Son Builders, construction is more than a business — it’s a family tradition. Founded in Gorham, Maine in 1973, we are a third-generation company built on hard work, honesty, and pride in doing things the right way. For decades, we’ve remained committed to delivering quality craftsmanship while building lasting relationships with the families and communities we serve.

Our company has grown largely through referrals and repeat clients, something we believe speaks to the trust we work hard to earn on every project. Clear communication, dependable service, and attention to detail are at the core of how we operate, ensuring each client feels confident and supported throughout the entire building process.

Whether we’re constructing a custom home, renovating an existing space, or completing a complex addition, we approach every project with care and professionalism. We treat each home as if it were our own, focusing not only on the final result but on creating a smooth, collaborative, and rewarding experience from start to finish.

At Libby and Son Builders, our goal is simple — to build spaces that last and relationships that stand just as strong.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • Matt, Ted, and Bob came into our lives during COVID and completely transformed our home — adding an addition, building a garage, and renovating our bathrooms. From day one, they were more than just contractors; they became friends. They showed up every single day, communicated with us throughout the entire process, and handled everything from start to finish with incredible care and craftsmanship. The quality of their work speaks for itself, but what truly sets them apart is how wonderful they are to work with. Reliable, hardworking, and genuinely great people. We would 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a team they can truly trust.

    - The Durgin’s

  • We were referred to Matt, Ted, and Bob by our next-door neighbor after seeing the amazing work they had done on their home, and we were so excited to finally work with them ourselves. They completely transformed our kitchen — handling the demo and countertops — and guided us through every step of the process with incredible knowledge and professionalism. As someone who loves to bake, I couldn’t be happier with my new kitchen — it’s beautiful, functional, and exactly what I had envisioned. From start to finish, they were not just our contractors — they were friendly, approachable, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. They answered all our questions, helped us make decisions along the way, and made the entire project smooth and enjoyable. It’s rare to find people who are so talented at their craft and also so lovely to work with. I’m already looking forward to our next project with them, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and kind professionals. You won’t be disappointed!
