Fortin Construction Inc. — Custom Homes & Full-Service Renovation in Auburn, ME (Est. 1990)
Fortin Construction handles residential work across Androscoggin County, covering everything from custom home builds on prepared lots to gut renovations on properties of all ages. Auburn sits in the middle of Maine’s second-largest population corridor, and Fortin has made that geography work for them — close enough to Portland and Lewiston to coordinate skilled trades, local enough to know the specific soil and permitting realities of the area.
The company’s range across both new construction and renovation is worth noting. A GC who regularly does both develops a different understanding of how buildings go together than one who only does one or the other. When something unexpected turns up inside a 1950s cape during a renovation, that new-construction background helps with problem-solving.
Androscoggin County’s housing stock skews older, and renovation projects in this region frequently uncover conditions that require adaptive thinking — asbestos-era insulation, knob-and-tube wiring behind walls, foundation systems built before modern waterproofing standards. Fortin’s 35-plus years of work in the county means these discoveries get handled as standard variables rather than project-stopping surprises.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Auburn and Lewiston represent Maine’s second-largest urban area, but the region tends to be underrepresented in contractor directories that focus on Portland and Boston. Fortin fills that gap for homeowners in Androscoggin County doing renovation research, offering both new construction and renovation services under one roof.
