Our Story
Reconstruction Contractor Serving Maine and New Hampshire
Octagon Construction & Energy rebuilds homes after water, fire, and structural damage. We take over once cleanup and mitigation are complete, rebuilding properties to a safe, usable condition. We are licensed, insured, and based in Windham, Maine, with active reconstruction projects across both Maine and New Hampshire.
Our work focuses on one phase of the recovery process: the rebuild.
Why Octagon Was Built
After years working in construction across Maine, we kept seeing the same problem on damage recovery projects. Cleanup crews would arrive, stop the immediate damage, and leave. Homeowners were left to figure out the rebuild on their own. Most general contractors did not understand insurance scope. Most cleanup companies did not specialize in structural rebuild. The handoff between mitigation and reconstruction was where homeowners got stuck, sometimes for months.
Octagon Construction & Energy was founded to close that gap. We do not chase emergency calls. We do not handle initial cleanup. We focus on the part of the process where homeowners need real expertise: rebuilding what was damaged or removed, working within insurance approvals, and returning the property to a fully usable condition.
While the company’s roots include broader construction work, our focus has narrowed over time to post-mitigation reconstruction across Maine and New Hampshire. Reconstruction is not a side service; it is the work.
How We Work With Octagon Cleaning & Restoration
Octagon Construction & Energy operates alongside Octagon Cleaning & Restoration, a separate company that handles mitigation, cleanup, and content removal after damage occurs. The two companies have different teams, scopes, and responsibilities, but coordinate closely so homeowners do not have to manage unrelated contractors during a stressful time.
Octagon Cleaning & Restoration
- Mitigation, cleanup, and drying
- First on site after damage
- Stops damage from spreading
Octagon Construction & Energy
- Reconstruction and structural rebuild
- Begins after mitigation is complete
- Restores the home to livable state
When mitigation is complete, the project transitions to Octagon Construction & Energy for the reconstruction phase. Homeowners referred to us through our sister company receive a clean handoff with documentation of what was done during mitigation. Homeowners who come to us directly, with cleanup already handled by another company, are welcome as well.
What Makes a Reconstruction Contractor Different
Reconstruction is often confused with general contracting or cleanup. The distinction matters because the work, training, and process are different.
- Reconstruction Is a Distinct DisciplineGeneral contractors handle new builds and renovations. Cleanup companies handle drying and removal. Reconstruction sits between these two and has its own skill set: assessing post-mitigation damage, defining accurate rebuild scopes, working within insurance approvals, and rebuilding what was removed during cleanup. A contractor who occasionally handles reconstruction is not the same as one whose primary focus is reconstruction.
- Why Not the Same Company That Did the MitigationMitigation crews are trained to remove damage and prevent further harm. Reconstruction teams are trained to rebuild structural systems, frame walls, install subfloors, and restore livable interiors. The two require different skills and equipment. Companies that try to do both are usually stronger in one phase than the other.
- Insurance Coordination Is Part of the ProcessInsurance coordination is part of how reconstruction projects are managed. We work within approved scopes, document rebuilding work throughout the project, and communicate with adjusters when reconstruction-related scope changes are required.
More detailed information about insurance-driven rebuilding projects is available on our insurance reconstruction page.
Our reconstruction work covers four primary scopes: water damage reconstruction, fire damage reconstruction, structural reconstruction, and insurance reconstruction.

Reconstruction projects involve trust. Homeowners are letting us into their damaged property, often after a stressful event. The most reliable signal of how we work is what past clients say about the experience.
When to Contact Our Team
You should contact a reconstruction contractor when:
- Mitigation and drying are complete
- Damaged materials have already been removed
- Rebuilding work is now required
- The property remains incomplete or not fully usable
If your property is still in the cleanup phase, contact a mitigation specialist first. Our reconstruction work begins after that phase is finished.
If Your Property Needs Reconstruction, We Are Ready
If mitigation and cleanup are complete but your property still requires rebuilding, our reconstruction team is ready to evaluate the next phase of work.
Call (207) 310-4163 to speak with a reconstruction specialist, or tell us about your project and we will get back to you with next steps.
