Building the

finest homes

since 1975.

Whatever your dream is, we can build it.

  • Modern bedroom interior with large triangular window overlooking water, white walls, and a wooden floor.

    Modern

    Modern homes tucked along the coast of Maine are becoming more and more popular. From the award-winning Old Yacht Club to BRIBURN’s passivhaus cabin, Hewes embraces modern design.

  • Deck with wooden patio furniture and green cushions, overlooking a scenic view of trees, a river, and mountains under a clear blue sky.

    Coastal

    Maine coastal living has been the “go to” design for decades, and we are no strangers to this style. Our portfolio is filled with this treasured New England design.

  • Open double glass doors with a view of a wooden deck, trees, and a body of water in the background.

    Passive

    Passive houses demand an experienced builder, and Hewes & Company brings fifty years of building not just fine homes, but sustainable ones, too. We’ve built all kinds of energy efficient and passivhaus designs.

  • Cozy home library with wooden bookshelves filled with books, a central desk with office supplies, framed artwork on walls, wooden floor, large window with natural light, and modern ceiling light.

    Traditional

    If your style is steeped in tradition, then look no further than Hews & Company. From the iconic Private Island Retreat to Kerrwood, we know traditional building techniques as well as we know modern ones.

  • Contemporary

    Contemporary architecture blurs the line between traditional and modern design often embracing sustainable materials and technologies. Many of our homes sit within this innovative category combining classic ideas with the luxuries of modern living.

View Our Portfolio

Hewes & Company has been building custom homes on the coast of Maine since 1975. From the Blue Hill Peninsula to Mount Desert Island, Castine, Deer Isle, and the greater Penobscot Bay area, our portfolio spans fifty years and dozens of projects — each one built to the highest standard of craftsmanship.

We build in every style coastal Maine demands: traditional shingle-style homes that honor New England's architectural heritage; modern and contemporary designs that push what's possible with wood and glass; and passive house and high-performance energy-efficient builds that are as sustainable as they are beautiful. We've earned a reputation as one of the most trusted custom home builders in Hancock County, and we bring that expertise to every project regardless of scale.

Every Hewes home begins with a conversation. We work directly with your architect, or can connect you with the region's best, to bring your vision from blueprint to reality. Our in-house capabilities — including custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, and precision CNC machining — mean that even the most demanding details are handled by the same team that built your walls.

We are 100% employee-owned, which means the people on your job site have a personal stake in the outcome. That's not a tagline. It's the reason our clients come back — and the reason their homes endure for generations.
