Roofing, Siding & Remodeling Built for Freeport's Village and Waterfront Homes
Trusted by homeowners from Freeport Village to South Freeport and the Harraseeket River
Most people know Freeport for its shopping, but the town behind the storefronts is a mix of village colonials and capes, wooded rural roads, and some beautiful waterfront along Casco Bay, the Harraseeket River, and South Freeport Harbor. Many homes here are second homes or retirement homes, and many are older houses with plenty of life left if they're maintained well. Whether it's a roof on a village colonial or siding on a house with a water view, M & Son Construction brings the same care to every job.
Built for What Freeport's Weather Actually Does to a Home
Freeport homes face heavy snow, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycling like the rest of Southern Maine, with an added dose of salt air and wind on properties near Casco Bay and the Harraseeket. Homes sitting empty for part of the year can also develop slow leaks that go unnoticed. Because Freeport's shoreline and riverfront can fall under Maine's mandatory shoreland zoning, additions and changes near the water may require setback and permitting review.
Roofing for Freeport Homes
We install and repair metal, rubber (EPDM), and asphalt shingle roofing. For waterfront and second homes, we pay particular attention to underlayment, flashing, and ventilation- the details that protect a house through months of winter vacancy and salt-air exposure.
Siding & Exterior Upgrades
We install vinyl, fiber cement, and traditional wood and cedar shingle siding. In Freeport, many homeowners want to keep the traditional New England look of their house, and we match existing profiles and trim while upgrading what's behind them.
Additions & Remodeling
Common requests include primary suite additions, kitchen updates, mudrooms, and renovations of older homes. For waterfront properties, we build shoreland zoning review into the planning timeline from the start.
New Construction & Home Improvement
Beyond roofing and siding, we handle new structural framing, garages, and the full range of home improvement work, including windows, doors, decks, and interior remodeling.

Freeport, Maine Customers — Frequently Asked Questions
I only live in my Freeport house part of the year. Can you manage a project while I'm away?
Yes. Many of our clients are part-time residents. We keep communication clear with regular updates and photos so you can approve decisions and follow progress without being on site.
Do you work near South Freeport and the Harraseeket River, or only in the village?
Both. We work throughout Freeport, from village homes to waterfront properties in South Freeport and along the Harraseeket River and Casco Bay.
Does being near the water change what materials you'd recommend?
Yes. Salt air corrodes metal fasteners and flashing, and wind-driven rain off the bay finds gaps that don't matter inland. For waterfront Freeport properties, we typically recommend corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing and coastal-rated materials.
Will my project need extra permitting?
Possibly. Maine's mandatory shoreland zoning applies statewide near water bodies, and additions or changes to a home's footprint near the shoreline can trigger setback and permitting review. We build this into planning from the start.
What roofing material is best for a Brunswick home?
It depends on your roof's pitch and exposure. Metal and properly installed asphalt shingles both perform well here, and rubber (EPDM) roofing suits flat and low-slope sections. We'll walk through the trade-offs for your home.
My house sits empty all winter. What should I worry about?
Small leaks and ventilation problems can go unnoticed for months in an unoccupied house. Well-installed underlayment, flashing, and ventilation are the best protection, and we're happy to inspect a roof before the cold season.
Can you match my home's traditional New England look?
Yes. We match existing siding profiles, trim, and proportions while upgrading the weather barrier and flashing underneath.
Do you offer free estimates for Brunswick projects?
Yes. We start with a site visit to look at your property's specific conditions before putting together a quote.
You're based in Portland. Do you travel to Freeport?
Yes. Freeport is a short drive up Route 1 or I-295. We start with a free site visit.
