Sensible new homes. Modern comfort and efficiency. Shapes and sizes that recall simpler times.
Dooryard is a new catalog home company, proudly serving Maine. We’re a different type of modular builder, offering a line of new single family home packages and traditional 2 to 10 unit apartment buildings that fit seamlessly into villages and in-town neighborhoods. Our buildings are designed to meet modern standards of comfort and efficiency in shapes and sizes that recall simpler times. Details and proportions are tailored for thoughtful continuity with the streets and landscapes of Maine. With a focus on tidy dimensions and a neighborly disposition, Dooryard homes give back to their owners and their communities. Our homes are designed to address the unique challenges of infill development, on the smaller and narrower lots that characterize Maine’s village centers and cities built before 1940. A new house that fits a pre-war in-town lot will fit almost anywhere else too. Dooryard, in other words, uses time-tested commonsense layouts with high-quality and convenient modular construction methods to deliver easy-to-finance turnkey homes to any tree-lined street, in-town neighborhood, beach, or mountaintop in Maine.
In the single-family home market, Dooryard provides the safety, quality, and convenience of a new home, while avoiding the drawbacks of living in a shoddily constructed home, a suburban tract development home, or an oversized McMansion that costs a fortune to heat and to furnish. We build right-sized, high quality homes, inside and out.
In the multi-family construction market, Dooryard offers small and unassuming 2 to 10 unit apartment buildings like people used to build for friends and neighbors, which still lend much life and texture to Maine’s cities, towns, and village centers built before 1940. There is a broad market for this sort of multifamily construction, including average, everyday Mainers who are looking to provide needed housing in their communities, create an additional source of income, and give back to their community by investing in it. These multi-family buildings provide a turnkey option for enterprising people of modest means and would-be developers of any size or experience level.
