Have you opted for home construction rather than purchasing someone else’s already lived in home?Chris Legare of Nautilus Construction is a general contractor in Southern Maine, specializing in Design Build Construction, general contracting and remodeling. We are proudly serving Kennebunk, Wells, York, Saco, Portland, Scarborough and more. Here is a recent review we received about our team’s diligence when it comes to home construction.

“We were very pleased with selecting and working with Chris Legare and Nautilus Construction for our project in Wells. We were convinced of the skills and capabilities of Nautilus Construction when reviewing their work on the project of our next door neighbor. Their home came out extremely well so we contacted Chris to see if he would do our project. Chris had a schedule opening so we engaged Nautilus for our project. Our architect was also aware of Nautilus Construction and recommended them highly. They worked with Chris on the details of the design as well. When the design was completed, the project began. Chris developed a comprehensive schedule which was routinely updated on his online project app. The pricing for the project was fair and we always knew the current status of all items within the project by way of the app. In the post COVID environment there have been many variables to manage including supplies, sub contractors and other details needing coordination. Chris and his team always kept on top of all these things as well as maintaining flexibility with any project adjustments as needed. Chris has a very strong team who work well together and were always in tune with the project and priorities. The workmanship and skill in constructing our addition was obvious, both as the project progressed and now with its completion. No detail was left out and Chris and his team always worked with us to make sure we were satisfied with the project and the results. Chris also has a set of strong relationships with very capable subcontractors Nautilus uses in their projects. They did a great job for us. We would not hesitate to work with Chris and Nautilus Construction again on any future project we may have and would recommend Nautilus to others who want construction projects done with the highest quality, attention to detail, schedules, and cost.”

Did you know that interlocking weather stripping has a long history? For 34 years, our window and door restoration company, Bagala Window Works, relied on the original Accurate Metal Interlocking Weatherstrip Company’s exceptional quality products and quick turnaround time. All contractors and installers, large or small, rely on supplier expertise, quality manufacturing, and fast service. All things change with time and retirement led to opportunity. Today, we own the original company’s machinery so that Accurate Machine Made can offer this same level of service to all of the end-users of the weatherstrip we manufacture. We’ve made ordering even easier with online ordering, pricing and payment!

The Accurate Metal Weatherstrip Company began business as Acme Weatherstrip in 1898 in Mount Vernon, New York, and five generations of the Kammerer family made Accurate a national pioneer in the development of better, more efficient weatherstripping.

For over 100 years, Accurate used their custom designed and built roll forming machinery to make metal interlocking weatherstripping and spring bronze weatherstripping for windows and doors. Many professional installers, including our parent company, Bagala Window Works, depended on these outstanding products to deliver the best solutions for customers, and protect our heritage by saving wooden windows and doors. Time rolled on and shifts were made, leading to our current offering.

Today, five of the original Accurate brand time-tested, custom-made, roll forming machines have been purchased by Bagala Window Works, a Maine based family-owned business that has preserved and weatherstripped thousands of heritage windows and doors for customers all over the United States. We operate this business as Accurate Machine Made Weatherstrip, and deeply appreciate our ability to help other installers and contractors continue to improve efficiency and save wooden windows and doors.

Interlocking weather stripping is just one of the many fine products we offer to keep your home comfortable and energy efficient.

Romuender GSD where German Shepherd puppies are our reminders of the great love that started our family. Our journey into this world was fate from our past. My paternal Grandmother and her family, the Romuender’s (from Germany) had the first German Shepherd in our family! It’s funny to say my very existence came from the relationship my father had with his German Shepherd companion, Heidi and how Heidi was instrumental in meeting my mother.

You see, my father was a traveling salesman in the US on his motorcycle with his female German Shepherd Heidi on the back as co-pilot. Heidi was trained by my dad and literally would ride on the back wearing goggles. What an unusual sight! During his travels my father stayed in my maternal grandparents motel with his dog, when he saw my mother, a schoolteacher leaving for her work one morning. It was Heidi who came up to greet my mom. Needless to say, my parents married three months later and now have been married over 50 years. 

Based in Terrell, Texas is our family of the world renowned and respected Romuender German Shepherds.
