Built for Cape Elizabeth's Older, Coastal Homes

Many Cape Elizabeth homes were built decades ago in the Colonial or Shingle-style tradition and updated in stages rather than replaced. Interior demolition here often means working around original plaster, older wiring, and plumbing added across multiple past renovations, rather than a simple gut job. Briggs Contracting's crew is experienced with exactly this kind of layered, older construction.

Coastal exposure — salt air, fog, and direct Atlantic weather — also wears down siding, decks, and outbuildings faster than it does further inland. When a structure has reached the end of its life, Briggs Contracting clears it completely and hauls the debris responsibly.

Cape Elizabeth also runs its own building and zoning permitting process, separate from Portland's. Briggs Contracting handles permit acquisition and works within local code on every job.

Why Cape Elizabeth Property Owners Choose Briggs Contracting

Briggs Contracting was founded in 2008 by Chaz Briggs as an all-season landscaping and hardscape company, and has always finished what it starts — demolition and rebuild, under one roof. Chaz sharpened his skills on large-scale disaster-recovery demolition in Houston following Hurricane Harvey before bringing that experience back home to Maine.

Cape Elizabeth Demolition Questions

Does Briggs Contracting handle permits for Cape Elizabeth projects?

Yes. Briggs Contracting acquires the necessary permits and follows the applicable building and zoning codes, including Cape Elizabeth's own local requirements, so property owners don't have to navigate that process themselves.

Can you demolish part of an older home without damaging the rest of it?

Yes. Interior demolition in older homes, common throughout Cape Elizabeth, requires working carefully around original plaster, wiring, and plumbing added over multiple past renovations. This is routine work for Briggs Contracting's crew.

Do you handle waterfront or coastal properties?

Yes. Briggs Contracting has completed demolition and concrete removal work on coastal properties, including in Kennebunkport, and understands the added wear salt air and coastal exposure put on siding, decks, and outdoor structures.

Will you rebuild after the demolition is done, or just remove?

Both. The same crew that handles demolition also completes bathroom, kitchen, and home remodels, new deck construction, and landscaping, so the property doesn't sit as a cleared lot waiting on a second contractor.

Do you take on large or commercial demolition projects, not just residential?

Yes. Briggs Contracting has completed large commercial demolitions, including a multi-phase hotel demolition in Portland where the building stayed open throughout the project, in addition to residential work.
