General Contractor in Penobscot County

10.4 miles from Bangor
Bradley grew up around lumbering and sawmills, and the Maine Forest and Logging Museum at Leonard's Mills still runs a water-powered up-and-down sawmill at its 1790s settlement site. Most of the town's houses are newer, with a median build year of 1984 and about 18 percent from 1939 or earlier (ACS 2020-2024), and a building permit costs $30 plus 20 cents per square foot of finished space, four-season additions included.
General contractor in Brewer, ME
0.6 miles from Bangor
Brewer is a small city where about 30 percent of the housing dates to 1939 or earlier, and its code calls the Office Residential district an older area built in 19th-century styles. The city's treatment plant serves 3,159 Brewer accounts, and a Rural district lot with both a private well and septic needs 120,000 sq ft.
General contractor in Carmel, ME
13.7 miles from Bangor
Carmel's old farmhouses sit among late-20th-century houses and mobile homes, Souadabscook Stream is the main waterway, and the town has only two zones, Residential-Farming and Commercial. Before a house on septic can add an accessory unit, a site evaluator has to show a new system can serve both units.
General contractor in Clifton, ME
12.8 miles from Bangor
Clifton is a rural town of 840 people whose oldest houses sit in its village core, and its accessory unit rule lets an owner add a unit to a house or a garage, within size limits. Off public sewer, that unit needs an approved septic system, a plumbing permit and a site evaluation, and residential lots in the shoreland area are held to 20 percent coverage.
General contractor in Eddington, ME
4.2 miles from Bangor
Eddington sits on the east side of the Penobscot River, where the town's shoreland ordinance holds a 250 ft buffer along the water. Most homes are postwar single-family houses with a median build year of 1979, and an accessory unit needs a septic system shown able to take the added space.
General contractor in Glenburn, ME
8.4 miles from Bangor
Glenburn's town plan describes camps around Pushaw Lake converting to year-round homes, some on lots as small as 35 by 100 feet, and the town has no public sewer or water. Within 250 ft of a classified water body, the Local Plumbing Inspector must certify the septic before a seasonal home is converted or a habitable structure expanded.

Hampden's Upper Corner Historic District protects a concentration of early village homes, and its Historic Preservation Commission must find work there appropriate before a building permit is issued. Newer houses come from 1970s to 2000s subdivisions, and shoreland zoning reaches 250 ft from the Penobscot and Souadabscook Stream.
General contractor in Hermon, ME

Hermon Pond, Tracy Pond and George Pond are the town's main waters, but most of Hermon's housing is newer, with a median build year of 2000 (ACS 2020-2024). Renovation here mostly means late-20th-century ranches, capes and mobile homes, and a pre-1976 mobile home can be repaired, improved and expanded but not moved into town.
General contractor in Holden, ME
5.6 miles from Bangor
Holden's Village Center zone allows smaller lots to build a new town center, but most of the town is owner-occupied single-family homes with a median build year of 1978. About 17 percent of its housing units are mobile homes, and an accessory apartment on septic needs a site evaluator to show the system can serve both units.
General contractor in Hudson, ME
14.8 miles from Bangor
Cottages on Pushaw Lake and Little Pushaw Pond helped triple Hudson's population over forty years, and the 2012 town plan notes many older homes that have only ever been repaired. Every house in town uses a septic system or a holding tank, and the shoreland zone covers all frontage on the lake, the pond and streams such as Pushaw Stream.

Mobile homes make up about 19 percent of its units, and the town lets an existing one be improved with a foundation or other new construction under the building code.
General contractor in Milford, ME
11.6 miles from Bangor
Milford is a river town across the Penobscot from Old Town, and its municipal sewer serves mainly Main Street and the streets beside it. The rural areas rely on septic, and the 100-year floodplain follows the Penobscot and Sunkhaze Stream.

General contractor in Orono, ME
7.4 miles from Bangor
Orono's housing splits almost evenly between single-family homes and apartments, with student rentals gathered in the village and the Webster neighborhood. The Orono Main Street Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1977, and all of the land west of I-95 relies on septic systems.
General contractor in Orrington, ME

Along the Penobscot River, Orrington's shoreland districts include Shoreland Residential and two industrial zones, and its dimensional table sets a 75 ft shore setback in every district.

General contractor in Veazie, ME
4.2 miles from Bangor
Veazie fits older village houses, postwar homes and mobile homes into 3.03 square miles, and about 17 percent of its housing units are mobile homes.
