"I am an architect practicing in Essex Massachusetts and Bailey Island, Maine. I have hired Oceanside Builders to do work on my own house as well as collaborating with them on design/build projects for other clients. All of these experiences have been very positive.
"I have worked with Eric on a number of residential projects and can unconditionally recommend him to anyone seeking the services of a general contractor. He pays attention to detail and produces very high quality work. His experience and attentive manner are valuable to any architect or homeowner in the early stages of the process where he often solves problems before they come up. Once under construction, he will follow through and get things done in a timely manner. There are few other builders who are as capable of producing work in the highest level.
"It was in working with Eric as an architect for Eric, where he was my client, that I gained the best insight into his talents. For his own house, Eric extensively researched and planned the use of the latest, and most viable ,”green” technologies to create a very efficient system to insulate and heat the house. This was not an easy task as our design for the house is traditional coastal shingle style and it was a significant challenge to sympathetically work in the use of alternative technology. But he managed to accomplish the feat and his house reflects an exciting vision for what future energy efficiency could look like."
