About us

I am Jeff Tillinghast, the owner of First Chair Carpentry LLC.  I have been building and remodeling in southern and midcoast Maine for over ten years.  As a builder I pride myself on bringing a relatable and affable personality to the jobsite.  I believe that it is my job as a builder to get to know each client and project individually and to help fulfill the unique goals that each client brings to the table.  Whatever your building needs are I hope to be able to meet them, whether it is new construction, remodeling or fine woodworking.

It could not have gone better. We broke ground on April 17, 2017. As I write this review on Oct. 30, 2017, we expect to be moving in by mid November. We reside in CT, so it was crucial to have a contractor that we could fully trust. Jeff Tillinghast came highly recommended, rightfully so. He was attentive to our wishes. He hired excellent subcontractors. He was honest, and charged very reasonable rates. We feel lucky to have found Jeff.
Description of Work: My wife and I hired First Chair to build a new home for us in Topsham, Maine.

Excellent. Jeff showed up on time, was very kind and professional and left the job looking great and clean.
Description of Work: Jeff helped me install new windows and reside around the new windows. He also helped me frame up a new sunroom and put on a large back deck.

Jeff worked with his team in the cold winter months to finish to project on time. The workmanship is gorgeous and the finished project is everything we hoped for. Jeff was responsive to all our questions, provided details regarding costs and time, provided receipts and came with a smile and a great attitude to the job.
Description of Work: Jeff has done a variety of projects for several of our properties over the last year +. The most recent project was a large deck to our new home. He has also installed wood paneling, built an addition to our son's home, built a deck on our son's home, and many other smaller projects as well.
