Kenneth Cox Construction builds and remodels homes across MidCoast and Central Maine, and has since 1988. Ken runs the company from Searsmont and answers the phone himself.
Thirty-eight years in one region teaches you what Maine houses actually need: framing that carries a heavy snow load, foundations set below the frost line, and additions that tie cleanly into a farmhouse roof built a century ago. More than 250 finished projects across 20 towns back that up.
Every job carries a written two-year workmanship warranty, and the company is BBB accredited. Local permits and inspections stay with your town's code enforcement officer, so we build to plan and to code and let that process run its course.
What do we build?
Bathroom Remodeling
Tile and waterproofing done properly, plus the subfloor repair that usually turns up underneath.
Custom Home Builder
Site work, foundation, shell and finish, on your lot or one you are still deciding about.
Deck Builder
Framed on footings dug to frost depth, in pressure-treated, cedar or composite.
Garage Builder
Attached or detached, slab or frost wall, one bay or two with a room above.
General Contractor
For projects that cross trades and need one person holding the schedule, the budget and the responsibility.
Home Remodeling
Whole-house and partial work in existing buildings, including the structural and systems work that comes with an older house.
Kitchen Remodeling
Layout, cabinets, counters, and the wiring and plumbing that an older house was never asked to carry.

Siding Contractor
Vinyl, engineered wood, fiber cement and cedar, with the flashing and drainage plane behind it done right.
Why do homeowners choose Kenneth Cox Construction?
We have worked on all types of Maine houses, new and old.
We have restored capes and farmhouses standing since the 1800s, turned summer camps into year-round homes people love, and brought 1960s ranches up to modern standards. Every one of them sits on ground that freezes four feet down and turns soft the moment spring arrives, and we build for that.
We provide transparent and honest pricing.
You will never walk into a job with us feeling surprised. We stick to our pricing, and we make sure you know exactly what is going on at every step of the way.
We show up on time and reliably.
The most common story we hear from a new client starts with a contractor who stopped showing up, or took their money and ran. We treat people right, we do the job well, and we make sure everybody feels like they are getting five-star service with Kenneth Cox Construction.

What homeowners say
Ken is amazing! He's down to earth, tells you how things are to give you options. He created a kitchen during the pandemic when you couldn't order a single item and the result is amazing. He transformed a cave bathroom into spa heaven.
We hired Ken and his crew to do all the carpentry work on an inn in Camden that we were totally remodeling. His crew members are a pleasure to work with, all very pleasant and polite, with a no nonsense approach to the day's work. Can't say enough about what a find he and his crew were to our project.
Renovating a kitchen in an old house is usually full of surprises, but Kenneth's knowledge and experience made it go smoothly. Kenneth is straightforward and a pleasure to work with; his crew is respectful and hardworking. I am so pleased with his work that I have already arranged for him to do another project.
