- 38 years in business, since 1988
- Over 250 projects completed
- Affordable work, two-year written warranty
Rockport splits into two building problems. Down by the harbor you get steep grades, shallow ledge and shoreland review on the water and along the Goose River. Head inland toward Route 90 and the lots behave normally, with regular access and ordinary digging.
Kenneth Cox Construction has built here since 1988, and the pattern holds: the house is usually sound and the site is the real job. Village Greek Revival and Victorian homes tend to need sympathetic repair. Waterfront properties raise drainage and retaining questions a flat lot never does.
Ken walks the ground before he puts a number on paper, because on a harbor lot the grade decides the budget. Work comes with a written 2-year workmanship warranty, and Ken stays your contact from the first walk-through to the last punch-list item.
## Why Rockport Residents Hire Us for a Project
Thirty-eight years working this coast taught us its drainage and exposure lessons on real Rockport houses, not from a manual.
We are BBB accredited. The 2-year workmanship warranty appears in your paperwork, and Ken remains your contact from estimate through completion.

## Why hire us as your general contractor in Rockport, ME?
Homeowners hire us as their general contractor in Rockport, ME because the village calls for sympathetic work. Its Greek Revival and Victorian core is largely well kept and usually needs exactly that.
Waterfront properties are different. A house built into a steep harbor lot raises drainage and retaining questions that never arise on a flat inland lot.
In Rockport, we often find that the building is fine and the site is the project. Most owners don’t expect to hear that.
**Rockport asks two completely different things of a builder depending on which side of town you are standing on.** Down at the harbor you are dealing with steep grades, shallow ledge and shoreland review. Inland you are dealing with ordinary lots and ordinary access.
Ken walks the site before quoting because, in Rockport, the ground genuinely decides the budget. The work comes with a 2-year warranty from a BBB-accredited company.

Rockport, MEKnox County
We are a family-run general contractor from Searsmont. Much of our Rockport work is for owners improving a property they already love, rather than people passing through.
That leads to conversations about doing the work once and doing it properly. Frankly, that’s the kind of job we prefer.

## What should you ask before hiring in Rockport?
My lot is steep. Is that a problem?
A steep lot is a design question rather than a problem. It affects foundation, access and drainage, and all three are solvable when they are planned rather than discovered.
Do harbor properties need extra approval?
Harbor properties generally do need extra approval. Shoreland zoning applies near the water and it shapes what you can build and where.
Do you work inland as well?
We work inland as well, and a good deal of our year is spent there. The Route 90 corridor and the properties toward Warren are straightforward building by comparison.
Who runs the job day to day?
Ken runs the job day to day. The estimate and the site supervision come from the same person.

## Additions and Whole-House Remodels in Rockport
A Rockport addition should protect the original house’s value by matching its scale and resolving the roof connection cleanly. We prefer a smaller addition that belongs to the building.
Extra square footage isn’t worth awkward structure or chronic water trouble.
## How do you start a Rockport project?
Start a Rockport project by getting Ken onto the site. Tell him what you have in mind.
He’ll walk it, explain what it realistically needs and give you a number you can plan around.
The conversation is free. There’s no follow-up campaign.
His number is [207-386-9235](tel:+12073869235).
