Fine Lines Construction is moving a bit further south from its current location at 194 Main St./U.S. Route 1 in Freeport to a much larger facility at 8 Varney Road.
The custom homebuilding company is renovating the 7,000-square-foot former Stars & Stripes Brewing Co. building into a facility that can accommodate both its offices as well as a cabinet and millwork shop. (Prior to the brewery operation, which closed in 2024, the property had been home to Lincoln Canoe and Kayaks, which in 2014 moved its operations to Amesbury, Mass.)
Ben Duplissis, owner and president of Fine Lines Construction, told Mainebiz he purchased the 1.9-acre property last year and is looking forward to being in the expanded space. His current site is 1,200 square feet.
Duplissis said the remodel at 8 Varney Road is incorporating “super energy-efficient details.”
“[It’s] not totally passive house standards but we’re wrapping the building in foam insulation and installing high-efficiency windows and doors and heat pumps,” he said.
Fine Lines was founded in 1987 and has grown to a staff of 35.
The company builds custom single-family homes and has projects either in the works or in the queue in Freeport, Brunswick, Harpswell, Poland and on Peaks Island in Portland.
Duplissis plans to be in the new Freeport facility by summer.
