How do we take the guesswork out of hiring?
Finding a good contractor in Maine shouldn't feel like a coin flip. Right now it does.
- You call six people.
- Two answer.
- One shows up.
- He gives you a number on the back of a business card, and you have no idea whether it's fair, because you have nothing to compare it to.
Then you sign, because you're tired of calling.
That's the part we fix. Not by sending your phone number to fifty companies. By learning your project, picking three contractors who actually do that kind of work, and getting you three quotes you can put next to each other.
How do we find you a great Maine contractor?
When you tell us about your new construction or renovation project, we do three things for you:
We qualify your project.
We talk through what you want, your timeline, and your budget range, so the builders who show up are actually a fit.
We match you with 3 vetted Maine builders/remodelers.
These are local contractors we personally know, who've passed our 10-step vetting process, and who are actively building in your area.
You compare 3 real quotes and pick your favorite.
We help you compare apples to apples. You make your own informed decision.
What types of contractors and builders do we match with you?
New construction
Custom homes, garages, additions, and ADUs. Building from the ground up, or adding on to what you have.
Remodels and renovations
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-home renovations. Taking the parts of your house that bug you and fixing them.
Decks, exteriors, and specialty
Decks, roofing, siding, windows and doors. Everything that goes around, on top of, or attached to your house.
House plans and design
Permit-ready drawings for a build you haven't started yet. Flat pricing from $1,250.
Why are our contractors different?
Before we introduce anyone to you, they earn it. Every contractor in our network goes through all ten steps.
Company, crew size, service area, project types, capacity, how they price.
Years in business, structure, whether they can carry materials and labor, how they pay their suppliers.
General liability and workers' comp certificates pulled and stored, with limits appropriate to the size of the job.
Past homeowners, past subs, past suppliers. Not just the three they hand us.
Google, Facebook, BBB, local word of mouth, and a search for complaints and disputes.
Actual finished work, in person or in detailed photo and video.
How fast they reply, how clearly they write, how they handle a hard question.
Contractor agreement signed
Their first projects get watched closely and we go get homeowner feedback rather than waiting for it.
Performance gets checked. People who slip get removed.
Who is Seth Leichnitz?
Founder and Owner, Seth's Home Pros · Waterville, Maine
The person who screens the contractors and answers the phone.
Seth lives in Waterville with his wife and two kids, and spends his days making sure Maine homeowners do not hire the wrong contractor.
He came up on job sites rather than in an office. He started as a laborer and worked up to project manager through historic renovation, custom home building and timber framing, then spent three and a half years in service, estimating and sales.
He's seen both sides of the industry: the best and the worst contractor companies. That is why we can usually tell within a few minutes whether or not a contractor is a good contractor or a bad contractor, and more importantly, it means you can get matched with the right contractors.
While Seth's Home Pros doesn't build your project, we act as advisors and supporters through your project from start to finish.

What do homeowners ask about Seth's Home Pros?
You tell us about your project, we match you with three vetted Maine contractors, and you compare their quotes. The service is free to homeowners.
Yes. Contractors pay us a commission when they close work. You pay nothing. We're also sometimes paid in connection with a real estate referral, depending on the brokerage.
Same-day response if you reach out before 5pm. First quotes typically land within a week.
No. We don't build, supervise, estimate, permit, or guarantee work, and we never handle money between you and your contractor. We make the introduction and stay reachable.
