Home remodeling can be a stressful process, especially when a craftsman doesn’t seem to relate to the client and their vision. Where the traditional renovation process may have become opaque and fragmented, firms like Cousins Co. aim to challenge this norm. Grounded in transparency, collaboration, and the creative sensibility of its founders, Cousins Co. has become a respected renovator in the surrounding Portland community.
A Refined Approach to Remodeling
With years of experience in home remodeling and project management, Justin Dickinson and Ethan Bravo saw that homeowners were often unsatisfied with the process and results produced by other firms. Having led dozens of custom projects throughout Southern Maine, Cousins Co. has earned a distinctive reputation for combining old-fashioned craftsmanship with modern building practices. Their approach is hands-on and relationship-focused, something that today’s homeowners need.
Building Cousins Co. as an Outlier
Recognizing how this approach could succeed where others did not, Dickinson and Bravo set about building Cousins Co.. They founded this business on the simple idea that renovations should feel exciting, transparent, and deeply personal, not only for the client but for the involved craftsman. With this approach to renovation leadership, Cousins Co. has come to stand out in an industry known for its complexities.
Collaboration, Attention to Detail, and Lasting Relationships
Dickinson’s approach begins with design at the outset, never treating this critical step as a secondary service. Remodeling processes can be difficult for homeowners to understand, so he makes a point of clearly communicating exactly what is being done and why. With this calm and collaborative solution, what might have been a stressful process becomes an enjoyable partnership.
“Clients praise [Justin’s] honesty, reliability, and ability to deliver beyond expectations,” a firm representative stated, “values that have helped Cousins Co. grow almost entirely through referrals and word of mouth.”
Another essential element of Cousins Co. involvement in the industry is the ability to build valuable long term relationships. They are not only able to create connections with clients but with trusted local craftsmen, sub-contractors, suppliers, and designers, each of whom share the vision for quality and integrity. These connections ensure that each home renovation project will be handled with genuine attention to professionalism and effective communication.
Maine boasts a proud architectural history, but these timeless homes can place additional demands on builders. For clients, this often creates concerns that their unique case will not be handled with consideration for the hidden details of their homes. Cousins Co. recognizes these concerns and ensures that their work across the state of Maine maintains attention to detail and respect for history.
A Focus on the Client
Though the company has grown since its 2021 inception, Cousins Co. remains focused on an attention to detailed planning with clients, ensuring that every detail meets expectations. This level of focus instills trust in the client, a trust that they uphold before, during, and after the completion of any project.
Redefining Home Renovation
Moving forward, Cousins Co. remains wholly dedicated to redefining what home renovations can be. Rather than an indifferent process, their team leads each project with the understanding that remodeling is a relationship-based experience. Clients are looking for quality, collaboration, and communication along every step of the way, and Cousins Co. is determined to deliver on these expectations.
