Testimonials
Valerie Tate
Belfast, ME
I am very grateful to Mike and everyone he brought to our project. Building a new house is always going to be complicated. I’ve been impressed with Mike’s honesty, explanations, and efforts to find best solutions. I learned that I could trust Mike to overcome any challenges we might meet. His well-staffed crew demonstrated the same commitment to the very best work… as noted and expressed to us by more than a few neighbors. It’s great to have a beautifully made house, however it is unique in our experience to come through it with such high regard for the general contractor and crew.

I respect and appreciate Mike and his crew for their quality work on our architect-designed high-performance home; for following detailed engineering specifications to the letter; and for keeping costs and scheduling in line with our expectations. I especially appreciate Mike’s willingness to work with us as equal partners, answering our many questions fully, brainstorming with us, and welcoming us on site for nearly daily check-ins.

Mike, your company did excellent work. You and the subcontractors were easy to talk to, competent, fair and kind. I can't say enough good things about you and your business.

Mike's subcontractors were nice guys, on-time and did excellent work. We are very happy with the project.
Bill and Karen Meadows
Liberty, ME
We have used Northridge Construction on three occasions. The first was when water pipes burst which flooded and extensively damaged three floors. Mike and his crew repaired the damage without our presence. We were so pleased with their work that we hired them for a renovation, and, thereafter, a new construction project. We recommend them highly!
Frank Garnier and Joseph Lipscomb
Lincolnville, ME
Not only is Mike a genuinely nice individual but also an honest, transparent, and quality professional builder. He has cultivated the finest and best subcontractors that Maine has to offer. Their attention to precision and detail are unmatched anywhere. For us, having Mike and his outstanding crew build our home was like hitting the lottery. We applaud and praise all of them with a multitude of thanks and appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a new house?
A typical cost range is $350 to $425 per square foot. The larger the homes's area, the lower the cost per square foot and vice versa. And, note that this cost refers to the home itself, not the site, nor site utilities. See the Sample Cost Estimate from a project finished in 2024.
Is it possible to build a house too tight?: shouldn't it be able to "breath"? How can I find out how tight it is?
The more air-tight the home, the lower its operating cost. However, a healthy indoor environment requires the exchange of outdoor and indoor air. This exchange can occur by natural air leakage or by a mechanical system. High performance construction requires the mechanical system, because its natural air leakage rate is too low to assure acceptable air quality. A cost-effective standard for envelope performance is the Pretty Good House ™. An air leakage test can be performed to measure air-tightness.
What is value of Northridge Construction's most recent air leakage test?
The most recent air leakage test value was 0.92 ACH50, which is three times better (tighter) than Maine's building code. The test was conducted in December, 2023, by Maine Blower Door Testing.
How can I assess my indoor air quality? Where can I find out more?
Common indoor air pollutant concentrations, such as CO2, VOCs and radon gas, can be measured with inexpensive sensors, such as AIRTHINGS™. Other pollutants, such as small particles like PM2.5, require additional sensors. A good information source is the Maine Indoor Air Quality Council.
