Terms and Conditions
These terms cover anyone using the Garage Builders Rockland website to read about garages or to send an estimate request. Garage work we take on is governed by its own signed contract, and nothing on this page changes that contract.
Each garage figure shown here is a planning average, never a quote, and requesting an estimate is free and leaves you uncommitted. Once home construction passes $3,000, Maine law calls for a written contract bearing both signatures and caps what changes hands up front at one third.
Effective November 2, 2026. Last updated November 2, 2026.
These terms apply to everyone who visits garagebuildersrockland.com. A garage we build or remodel for you is governed by the contract we both sign for it, and this page changes none of that.
Who Runs This Site
Garage Builders Rockland is a garage builder working from an office in Camden, Maine, for Rockland and the Midcoast towns nearby. On this page, "we", "us" and "our" stand for Garage Builders Rockland, while "you" is whoever is visiting.
Age Requirement
This website is for adults: by using it, you confirm you have turned 18.
Fair Use
Use these pages to learn about garages and to describe your own lot and project to us. Please send true information and your own contact details, and do not tamper with the site's code or its forms.
About Our Published Prices
The garage figures you see here are averages, each one gathered across many quotes, and they exist to help you check a budget. None is a bid, and none is an offer or the price of the garage on your lot.
Your real number comes from the visit: bay count and footprint, the 4-foot grid, ledge and excavation, the foundation, door count, and an unfinished or finished inside. An attached garage has no published figure anywhere on the site, since the house it joins decides the work.
Asking for an Estimate
An estimate request costs nothing and obliges neither side. Nothing is agreed until we both sign a contract.
Some requests we decline, such as those from beyond our towns or for work outside our trade: roofs, siding, windows, decks, kitchens, baths, house additions, sheds under one bay, pole barns, carports and apartments over a garage.
Maine's Contract and Deposit Rules
10 MRSA ยง1487 says that once a home construction contract tops $3,000 in materials or labor, it must be put on paper with both the contractor's and the homeowner's signatures, and each of them keeps a copy from before work starts. It also limits the opening payment to a third of what the whole job costs, at most.
Scope, materials, price and the payment schedule all live in that signed contract rather than on this website. A price moves only by written change order, which is the route ledge or wet ground uncovered by the excavator takes into a job.
Warranties
No warranty or guarantee of any sort comes from this website. Whatever warranty covers your garage is set out in your signed contract and in the product makers' own terms.
Names of Products and Makers
A product or maker named on any page keeps its name with its owner. Mentioning it signals no connection to us and no approval of our work.
A Note on State Licensing
General contractors in Maine work without any state license, since no such license exists, so you will find no license number on this site. Above $3,000, the state's safeguard for home construction is the signed written contract covered earlier.
Permits and the Town's Decision
Each town sets its own answer on whether garage work needs a building permit, and its code office decides whether to grant one. Lots near a pond, a river, a stream or salt water may also fall within a shoreland zone that the town adopts under Maine's shoreland zoning program.
We take care of filing the permits the job calls for, yet granting them is the town's decision alone, and no page here promises an approval. A floating slab is the same: the building code excuses certain small detached garages from frost protection, and the code officer still rules on each one.
Start and Finish Dates
Maine's contract law asks for an estimated start date and an estimated substantial-completion date in the contract. The statute lets both slide when something outside the contractor's control intervenes, a lot that is not ready for work or materials nobody can get among them.
Frozen ground, a wet stretch of weather or ledge under the excavation can also push a garage schedule around. This website binds us to no particular start or finish date for your garage.
Information, Not Professional Advice
What our pages say about foundations, frost, setbacks, shoreland rules, fire separation and prices is general background. None of it is engineering or legal advice, and none of it substitutes for seeing your lot in person.
For a code question about one specific property, the town's code officer gives the answer that counts.
Terms for Text Messages
These terms take hold the moment you agree to texts on a form of ours.
- Topics: your estimate request, and after you hire us, the garage being built.
- Cost: message and data rates may apply, and the number of texts depends on the project.
- Opting out: reply STOP and our texts end, with one reply confirming it, or reply HELP for help.
On delivery, wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Giving that consent is never required to buy from us.
How your number and consent are handled is set out in our Privacy Policy.
Copyright
Copyright may cover the writing and the pictures here, so please ask before reusing them.
Outside Links
Several of our pages point to town ordinances and code offices, Maine statutes, the state building code and its amendments, and Maine's shoreland zoning program. Those sites are run by others, who are responsible for what they publish.
Liability Limits
Garage Builders Rockland is not liable, as far as Maine law permits, for losses of an indirect, incidental or consequential kind tied to using this site or trusting its general information. Any job under a signed contract is measured against that contract, never against this paragraph.
Revising These Terms
We can revise these terms as needed, and whatever is posted here is in force. Continuing to use the site once a revision is up counts as accepting it.
Law and Courts
These terms are read under Maine law. A dispute about this website belongs before a Maine state court or the United States District Court for the District of Maine.
