What CHASE CONSTRUCTION INC does

Chase Construction Inc is a family-owned custom home builder and renovation contractor headquartered in Wells, Maine, founded in 1985 by cousins Barry and Eric Chase and now in its fortieth year of operation with active involvement from second-generation family members including Colby, Emlyn, Wayne, and Austin Chase. The company builds custom new homes and executes renovations, additions, kitchens, and baths for individual residential clients across Southern Maine and the adjacent New Hampshire seacoast, with a portfolio of named recent projects such as Coastal Modern, Marginal Retreat, and Marshside Curve.

The firm's core technical capability is craft-based rather than technology-based: a vertically integrated operating model that combines on-site custom home construction with in-house custom millwork, cabinetry, doors, and windows delivered through its subsidiary, The Webhannet Co. The company operates a showroom at 675 Post Road in Wells, Maine, where prospective clients can engage directly with cabinetry, door, and window samples as part of the sales process.

Chase Construction makes money primarily through project-based construction contracts with private residential clients, supported by showroom-driven engagement, direct phone and website inquiries, and word-of-mouth referrals within the regional high-end residential market. Pricing is quote-based per project rather than subscription or unit-based, and revenue is generated from a long tail of one-off custom builds and renovations rather than enterprise or developer anchor accounts.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Toll Brothers: National luxury homebuilder with a portfolio of move-up and luxury single-family homes. Serves an overlapping affluent buyer but operates at vastly greater scale with a development-driven model rather than a bespoke custom builder / relationship model like Chase.
• David Weekley Homes: Large national homebuilder with a custom/luxury product line serving similar affluent buyer profiles. Not geographically overlapping with Maine, but represents the broader competitive set for high-end residential construction services at scale.

Others

• Crown Point Cabinetry: New Hampshire-based custom cabinetry manufacturer producing high-end kitchens, baths, and built-ins. Comparable to Webhannet Co.'s in-house millwork service line on craft and product, though Crown Point distributes nationally rather than integrating into a single builder's projects.
• Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers: Maine-based maker of fine wood furniture and cabinetry, operating an in-house craft shop comparable in ethos and capability to Chase's Webhannet Co. millwork division. Adjacent rather than directly competing — they sell furniture and built-ins rather than building homes — but illustrates the regional custom-millwork ecosystem that Webhannet participates in.

Direct peers

• BRIBURN: Portland, Maine custom home builder and renovation firm focused on high-end residential construction in the Southern Maine / coastal ME market. Closely comparable in scale, geography, and customer segment, with similar word-of-mouth driven sales motion and design-build service offering.
• Knickerbocker Group: Maine-based luxury custom home builder, remodeler, and design-build firm serving coastal New England. Operates the same custom design-to-installation model for high-net-worth homeowners in an overlapping geography, with comparable project scale and family-business positioning.
• Wright-Ryan Construction: Maine-based construction firm with a residential building division serving homeowners in Southern Maine. Broader portfolio (also commercial) but directly comparable custom home services, regional footprint, and relationship-driven GTM in the same labor and supplier market as Chase.

Regional players

• Great Falls Construction: New Hampshire-based custom home builder and remodeler serving the Seacoast and Southern NH region, including Rye — a geography where Chase Construction explicitly wins projects. Comparable custom-build model and affluent homeowner target, though NH-focused rather than Maine-anchored.
