ABOUT US

Fleet Builders was founded in 2021 by Ben Fuller as a full-service construction firm committed to creating homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. What began in Boston has since found its home in Maine, where Ben continues to bring the same vision to life: crafting homes tailored to the way people really live.

At Fleet, we build homes that reflect your lifestyle, your values, and your everyday routines. From concept to completion, we work hand-in-hand with each client to ensure every detail aligns with your vision. The result? Homes that feel natural, intuitive, and entirely your own.

Our specialty is custom home construction and renovations, creating one-of-a-kind residences designed with purpose and built with precision. We believe great design should feel effortless and lasting, with craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

What truly sets Fleet apart is our scale. We’re intentionally small, so you get a hands-on team that’s deeply involved in every phase of your project. You’ll always know who’s on-site, who’s making decisions, and who to call. That level of access, trust, and transparency is rare and it’s why our clients love working with us.

Whether you’re renovating a classic, building a coastal retreat, or creating your forever home, Fleet Builders is here to bring your vision to life-with creativity, care, and an unwavering focus on the details that matter most.

WHO WE ARE

THE STORY OF “FLEET”

From a young age, Ben was involved in his family business that formed in 1922 on Fleet Street in Boston, Massachusetts. When creating Fleet Builders, it was important for Ben to honor his family that taught him core values such as treating all employees and clients like they are part of his family. The word “Fleet” has more meaning than just a home building company; it’s about preserving the legacy of four generations of dedicated, family-rooted, and detail-oriented individuals.
