Renovation Work Auburn Homeowners Can Rely On

If you're searching for renovation help in Auburn, ME, the biggest variable isn't price. It's who actually shows up. Woodhouse Builders LLC is owned and run by Scotty Woodhouse, and he's the person you'll talk to from the first call through the last day on the job. Home renovations in Auburn range from single-room remodels to full gut jobs, and Scotty handles the scope honestly from the start. Call (207) 544-3126 and get a straight answer on what your project actually involves.

Auburn sits about 30 minutes north of Portland, and Woodhouse Builders makes that run regularly. Lewiston and Auburn are sister cities with a lot of the same housing stock, much of it older construction that needs real hands-on work rather than a surface refresh. If your Auburn home was built before 1970, odds are good the bones need attention before the finishes. Scotty knows what to look for in older Maine homes and won't paper over structural issues to keep an estimate low. Neighbors in Lewiston, Gorham, and across Androscoggin County have put Woodhouse Builders to work. Auburn is no different.

What We Do

Full-Scope General Contracting in Auburn

One contractor, one conversation, no hand-off to an unknown sub.

Most Auburn homeowners don't need a project manager. They need a builder. Woodhouse Builders handles remodeling work from kitchens and bathrooms to basements and new builds. There's no subcontractor shuffle on a Scotty Woodhouse job. The same person who gives you the scope is the person driving the work. That matters when you're making decisions mid-project, because you're talking to someone who can actually answer.

Services Auburn Homeowners Request Most

These are the scopes Woodhouse Builders handles regularly in this area.

01

Kitchen Remodeling

Full kitchen renovations including layout changes, cabinet work, tile, and flooring. Auburn kitchens in older homes often need plumbing and electrical updated before the finish work starts.

02

Bathroom Remodeling

Tile, fixtures, vanity, full gut jobs. Bathrooms in older Auburn homes frequently reveal water damage behind walls. Scotty identifies it early and accounts for it in the scope.

03

Basement Remodeling

Older Maine homes have basements that are unfinished or underused. Basement remodeling in Auburn adds livable square footage without the cost of an addition.

04

Deck Construction

Maine's short outdoor season means you want a deck built right before summer arrives. Woodhouse Builders handles deck construction in Auburn including permit work and material selection.

05

Exterior Siding

Auburn homes see real winters. Clapboard and cedar shake siding installation done correctly keeps moisture out and heating costs where they should be.

06

Carpentry and Finish Work

Custom carpentry and finish details that volume contractors skip. Trim, built-ins, millwork, and interior details that hold up to daily use and Maine winters.

How It Works

From First Call to Finished Project

  1. 01

    Call Scotty Directly

    You reach the owner, not a scheduler. Describe what you're working with in Auburn and get a real conversation about scope, not a hold queue.

  2. 02

    On-Site Assessment

    Scotty walks the Auburn property, identifies what the job actually involves, and gives you a straight read on scope before any number is discussed.

  3. 03

    Work Starts on Schedule

    Woodhouse Builders commits to a start date and holds it. On time and within budget isn't a tagline on a Scotty Woodhouse job. It's what he's built his business on.

Older Auburn Homes Need a Contractor Who Reads the Structure

A lot of Auburn's housing stock was built between 1900 and 1960. That's not a knock on the homes. It means a contractor who walks in with a finish-work mindset and skips the structural read is setting you up for a second project in three years. Scotty's approach on older Auburn homes is to open the walls where the scope demands it, document what's there, and give you an honest accounting before work starts. Residential construction in Maine's older cities isn't the same job it is in a new subdivision. The framing methods are different, the insulation situations are different, and the moisture management issues are different. You want someone who's seen it before. Call (207) 544-3126 before you commit to any scope.

Flooring and Tile Across Auburn Projects

Whether it's hardwood in a living room, tile in a bathroom, or flooring installation throughout a full gut renovation, Woodhouse Builders handles the material selection conversation honestly. Some contractors push a specific product because that's what they stock. Scotty will tell you what holds up in Maine's climate, what fits the budget, and what he'd put in his own home. Tile installation in bathrooms and kitchens is one of the places where the difference between a good job and a failed one shows up in two years. Substrate prep, thinset choice, grout sealing. Auburn homeowners ask about it afterward. Better to ask before the tile goes in.

Frequently asked questions

Does Woodhouse Builders take on projects in Auburn, ME?
Yes. Scotty Woodhouse works in Auburn regularly, about 30 minutes from the Portland base of operations. Auburn and Lewiston are a consistent part of the service area. If you're in Androscoggin County and need a general contractor for a kitchen, bathroom, basement, deck, or full renovation, call (207) 544-3126 and describe the scope. Scotty will tell you whether it fits the schedule and give you a straight answer on next steps.
What kinds of renovation projects do Auburn homeowners typically hire Woodhouse Builders for?
The most common scopes in Auburn are kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishing, deck builds, and exterior siding replacement. Auburn's housing stock skews older, which means a lot of jobs involve more than the surface work. Subfloor replacement, plumbing updates, and insulation corrections are common discoveries once walls open. Scotty accounts for that in the scope conversation rather than waiting for a change order to surface it.
How does Scotty handle older Auburn homes that may have hidden structural issues?
Honestly, and upfront. Older Auburn homes built before 1960 frequently have framing approaches, insulation situations, and moisture histories that newer construction doesn't. Scotty walks the structure before finalizing any scope. If opening a wall reveals something that changes the project, you hear about it immediately with a clear explanation of what was found and what the options are. No surprises after the invoice.
How far in advance should Auburn homeowners plan a renovation with Woodhouse Builders?
For a full kitchen or bathroom renovation in Auburn, earlier contact is better. Scotty's schedule fills based on project size and sequence. Deck projects in particular have a short window in Maine. If you're planning a summer deck build in Auburn, calling in late winter gives you the best shot at a slot before the outdoor season is half over. Call (207) 544-3126 and Scotty will give you a realistic read on current availability.
Does Woodhouse Builders handle both the rough and finish work on Auburn renovations, or just one phase?
Both. Scotty handles full-scope work from framing and rough carpentry through finish details, tile, flooring, and trim. Auburn homeowners don't have to coordinate between a framing crew and a separate finish carpenter. One contractor manages the project start to finish. That's not how every general contractor operates, and it matters when scope changes happen mid-project, because there's one person accountable for the whole job.
