Southern Maine Custom Homes

Built to Last Generations

Envy Construction builds homes meant to last generations. Founded in 2008 by Nick Voltolina, a craftsman who worked every role on the jobsite before starting the company, we've completed more than 150 custom homes, spec builds, and major renovations across Southern Maine, with an average project value above $1.5 million.

We are not a volume builder. We take on a small number of projects each year so every home receives the attention, craftsmanship, and project management it deserves. Our clients become friends. Our homes become the addresses where families build their lives.

What We Offer

Residential Services

01

Custom Home Construction

Ground-up custom homes on owner's land or a lot of our own. We work with your architect, bring one in, or handle design through our design-build approach. Budgets typically $1.2M–$5M+.

02

Major Renovations

Full-scale renovations of existing Southern Maine homes, often historic coastal properties where we strip to the studs, re-engineer the envelope, and rebuild with modern performance and finish.

03

Additions & Expansions

Structural additions, ADUs, second-story expansions, and substantial re-imaginings. We integrate the new structure so it reads as original, matching trim, roofline, material aging, and detail work.

04

Design-Build

A single team from design through move-in. Architecture, engineering, interiors, and construction under one accountable roof, so plans stay buildable against a real budget.

The Envy Difference

Why Southern Maine Families Choose Envy

Experience that shows up in the finish

Eighteen years in business. More than 150 homes completed. Our carpenters, project managers, and subcontractor network have worked together for years. Stability at every level of the crew is what produces the trim work and detail our clients and their guests notice.

In-house excavation is a real differentiator

Most builders subcontract excavation and mark it up. We own it. On a coastal lot with ledge, a high water table, or a difficult driveway, that can swing your budget by 10–15% and your schedule by months. It also means one accountable team from dirt to finish.

Founder-led relationships

Nick Voltolina personally leads every project. He is not a salesperson who hands you off. He is the builder, he is on the site, and his name is on the warranty.

Transparent at every step

Our 10-phase process is documented, shared with clients before contract, and followed. You know what's happening this week, next week, and in month eight. Allowances are itemized. Change-order policy is clear.

Renovations & Additions

Home Renovations & Additions in Southern Maine

Not every project starts with a bare lot. Many of our clients own a home they love in a location they will never leave, and want to bring it up to the standard of a new custom build. We approach a high-end renovation or addition with the same craftsmanship, precision, and project management as a ground-up home, because the finished result has to read as though it was always meant to be there.

Home Additions in Maine

A well-built home addition should be indistinguishable from the original structure. We handle second-story additions, primary-suite and in-law wings, accessory dwelling units, and full rear expansions across Maine, matching the existing roofline, trim profiles, siding, and material aging so the new footprint reads as heritage, not bolt-on. Because our excavation crew is in-house, foundation and site work for a home addition stay on one accountable schedule.

Common Questions

Renovation & Addition FAQs

Does Envy Construction do home additions in Maine?

Yes. Home additions are a core part of our residential work: second-story additions, primary-suite and in-law wings, accessory dwelling units, and rear expansions. We match the existing roofline, trim, siding, and material aging so the addition reads as original to the home, and our in-house excavation crew keeps foundation and site work on one accountable schedule.

Do you handle high-end home renovations in Falmouth, Maine?

Falmouth is our home base, and a large share of our renovation projects are within a few miles of the shop. A high-end home renovation in Falmouth typically means a historic or waterfront property where we strip to the studs, re-engineer the building envelope for modern performance, and rebuild with meticulous finish work.

What size renovation or addition projects do you take on?

Our focus is substantial renovations and additions on high-end homes, generally in the same budget tier as our custom builds. If you own a home you love in a location you will not leave and want to bring it up to the standard of a new custom build, that is exactly the work we do best.

Will a new addition match the character of my existing home?

That is the standard we hold ourselves to. We integrate every addition so it reads as though it was always there, matching trim profiles, roofline, siding, and the way materials age. The goal is craftsmanship that is indistinguishable from the original structure, not a visible bolt-on.

Homeowner Testimonial

“We have built numerous houses over the years, the experience we had with Envy Construction was second to none. They are the ultimate professionals, from design to finish. The workmanship is the best you'll see, they are true craftsmen. The Subs they use are the best as well.

We could not be happier. We are constantly told from family and friends the craftsmanship is the best they have seen. We would not hesitate to build another house with Envy Construction.”
