Our Pledge to Sustainability
At Two Pines Builders, we believe building a home should never come at the cost of the environment. That’s why we’re committed to limiting our carbon footprint through thoughtful practices and sustainable choices—starting with the materials we use.
One of our core pledges is to source locally harvested, sustainably managed wood whenever possible. By working with Maine-based suppliers who practice responsible forestry, we reduce transportation emissions, support regional economies, and help protect the long-term health of our forests.
Sustainable wood isn’t just better for the planet—it brings warmth, durability, and a sense of place to every home we build. From framing to finish work, our materials reflect our deep respect for Maine’s natural resources and a future-focused approach to construction.
With Two Pines Builders, sustainability isn’t a feature—it’s a foundation.
Building with Maine Roots: Locally Sourced Lumber
At Two Pines Builders, we take pride in building homes that reflect the integrity of Maine—starting with the materials we choose. That’s why we source much of our lumber from trusted local suppliers like Hancock Lumber, a Maine-based company with a long-standing commitment to sustainable forestry and community values.
By using locally harvested wood, we reduce transportation emissions, support regional jobs, and ensure our homes are built with materials that are both high quality and environmentally responsible. Maine’s forests offer exceptional native species—like eastern white pine and spruce—that are not only durable and beautiful, but also ideally suited to our climate.
Working with partners like Hancock Lumber allows us to maintain a clear line of transparency, sustainability, and craftsmanship from forest to frame. When you build with Two Pines Builders, you’re not just investing in your home—you’re investing in Maine’s natural heritage.
