Excavation, Carpentry and Snow Removal in Woolwich, Maine

Woolwich is home base for A.M. Friend Construction, so this is the town we know best. It sits on a peninsula bordered by Merrymeeting Bay and the Kennebec River to the west, the Sasanoa River to the southwest and the Back River to the southeast. U.S. Route 1 runs through town along with Routes 127 and 128, and many homes sit well back from those roads on long gravel drives and wooded lots. Most properties here rely on private septic systems and wells rather than town utilities, which makes careful site work especially important. Waterfront parcels along the rivers and bay can bring shoreland rules and wet soils into the planning. Winters are long, and a driveway that was never built with proper base and drainage tends to show it after a few freeze and thaw cycles. Because our crew and equipment are based right here in town, we can get to Woolwich job sites quickly and keep an eye on projects as they move along.

What we do in Woolwich

In Woolwich we clear and prepare new home lots, install and repair septic systems with your licensed site evaluator, dig foundations, build and rebuild gravel driveways, and fix drainage problems around homes and outbuildings. Our carpentry crew builds new homes, additions, decks, porches and siding projects, so a Woolwich build can move from site work to finished structure with one contractor. For businesses and multi-unit properties in town and along Route 1, we offer seasonal commercial snow removal contracts with plowing, salting, sanding and service logs.

Frequently asked questions

Is A.M. Friend Construction really based in Woolwich?

Yes. A.M. Friend Construction, LLC is a Woolwich company, and our crew and equipment work out of town. That keeps travel time short for Woolwich projects.

Can you handle a new septic system for a Woolwich property?

Yes. Maine septic systems are permitted through your town's Local Plumbing Inspector using a design from a licensed site evaluator. We coordinate with your evaluator, then handle the excavation, tank, field and final grading.

My Woolwich driveway washes out and heaves every spring. Can you fix it?

Often, yes. Washouts and heaving usually point to a weak base or poor drainage. We look at the base, crown and ditching and recommend a rebuild or repair that fits the site.
