Cynthia Hammond Builders in Searsport, Maine, United States on Houzz

🏆 Best of Houzz Service 7 - Time Award Winner

Thoughtfully Designed. Built to Last.

Kitchens, baths, and custom cabinetry

More Than a Way Up

What started as a need for stairs and a little extra storage became an opportunity to create something much more thoughtful.

Designed with space for blankets, wine, and meaningful things collected over time, the staircase is both practical and personal.

Small in footprint but rich in function, it becomes more than a utility. It becomes part of the home’s character — as if it had always belonged there.

“I’m beyond satisfied. Cynthia exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, creative and reliable cabinet designer who has incredible vision to bring your project to life.”

The Little Stuff Is Actually Big

Sometimes you don’t need a full project. You just need a clear answer from someone who designs and builds for a living.

I help with the decisions that shape a whole space — layout, construction limits, fixtures, finishes, and all the tiny things in between. Bring your questions and leave with a plan you can act on, whether you hire me for the build or not.

Sessions start at $150
One space. One conversation. Clear next steps.
