Russ Doucette · Owner & Builder
Russ takes clients through the decisions step by step. His decades of experience help identify potential issues early and guide practical choices throughout the project.
The Russ Doucette standard
One name on the work. One standard throughout.
Since 1980, Russ Doucette has built custom homes with a personal standard that reaches from the first planning conversation to the final piece of millwork.
We take on a limited number of projects at a time so each receives close attention to quality at every stage. Our smaller team gives clients direct access to Russ as owner and builder.
Our point of view
What clients can expect.
Made in our own shop
Cabinetry, built-ins, and architectural woodwork are made in our own shop and fitted on site, with proportions, materials, and finishes developed for the rooms around them.
Experience along the Maine coast
Maine’s coastal conditions call for careful material choices and installation details. Russ brings his experience with that environment to the planning and execution of the home.
The process
From the first meeting to the finished home.
The sequence is straightforward. We plan carefully, communicate throughout the build, and stay involved through the final details.
Explore the planning stepsListen
We talk through the site, the design, how you want to live, and what matters most to you.
Plan the work
We organize the scope, budget, schedule, and material selections before construction begins.
Build
We coordinate the trades, track progress, and keep clients and the design team informed as work moves forward.
Refine
We review cabinetry, trim, finishes, and fittings together so the details work throughout the home.
Complete
We review the completed work, address final details, and walk through the home with you before handover.
Client experience
Personal attention, in a client’s words.
“I love that he only takes on a few projects at a time and he makes you feel like you’re his only project.”
