This is the guide library: real 2026 cost ranges for decks, garages, kitchens, baths, siding, roofs, additions and custom homes in MidCoast and Central Maine. The numbers most builders make you call for are written down here instead.
Every range is figured for the ground and the houses we actually work on. A footing dug below the four-foot frost line, ledge that has to be drilled instead of dug, salt air chewing on coastal trim, and roofs that carry real snow all move a price in ways a national average never shows.
Kenneth Cox has been building in these 20 towns since 1988, and the guides pull from that work rather than from a calculator. Numbers get revisited as material and labor costs shift, so a page you read in spring should still hold up in fall.
These MidCoast Maine building and remodeling guides publish the numbers most contractors make you call for.
Real ranges, updated for 2026, written for the ground and the housing stock in this region rather than a national average.

How Should You Read a Construction Cost Range?
Every number on this site is an estimate, not a quote. Ranges exist because the site, the age of the building and the access all move the price before anybody picks a finish.
Use them to sanity-check a bid you already have, or to decide whether a project is worth pursuing at all.
A bid far below the range usually means something is excluded. Find out what before you sign.
A bid far above it may be entirely fair on a difficult site. Ask which conditions are driving it and you will learn whether the contractor actually looked.
Why Is the Year in the Title but Not the URL?
Material and labor pricing moves. We refresh these guides each January and leave the address alone, so a link you saved two years ago still works and still lands on current numbers.
How Do You Get a Price for Your Actual Project?
A guide gets you in the right neighborhood. Only a site visit gets you a number you can plan around, and ours is free.
