Maine Cabin Masters

Bunganuc Creek Landmark

Builder Chase Morrill and his crew take on a historic clammers' shack that's one nor'easter away from falling into Bunganuc Creek.

Clearwater Camp

Chase Morrill and his team of builders take on a cabin in Industry, ME, that hasn't been touched since the 1970s.

Between the snow delays and their $45,000 budget, this project is sure to come down to the wire.

Veterans' Retreat

Chase Morrill and his team of builders take on an unusual project from retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills. Through his foundation, Travis is building a retreat in Maine to help combat-injured veterans and their families adjust to their new normal. Chase and the crew are tasked with turning a simple lakeside cottage into an ADA-compliant event center for the veterans and their families. The key feature will be a huge commercial-grade deck that can accommodate up to 40 guests at a time.

Chase has to figure out how to get down to the camp before taking it apart, which calls for some high-end stonework. The crew also springs into action to build something special for the family dog.

Desert Pond Hideaway

Builder Chase Morrill and his team travel to a secluded piece of land close to Desert Pond to help a couple turn their forgotten shack into a relaxing retreat.

The Cabin Masters have a $50,000 budget to renovate a camp four-times the size of their usual builds.

After a series of harsh weather delays, the crew reluctantly asks for an extension on their deadline and faces the truth that cabins weren't meant to be built in the winter. The team "drops the mic" on this build and blows away the entire family with a complete exterior and interior facelift including a special project that pays homage to a loved family member and a giant outdoor checkerboard for the kids.

A Cabin for the YMCA

The Kennebec Valley YMCA in Augusta, Maine, needs a new play structure, and the Cabin Masters know just the crew for the job.

If there's one thing both Chase Morrill and his brother-in-law, Ryan, love besides renovating cabins, it's beer. When they learn that the owner of their latest cabin project works at Allagash Brewing Company, they're excited to check out the brewery for inspiration as they turn the weekend getaway into a three-season home away from home. Located on the shore of Sabattus Pond, the cabin has a steep drop-off to the water, a front door in the wrong place, a kitchen that's too tiny and a unusable loft thanks to a low ceiling.
