About Seth Leichnitz
I'm a builder from Waterville, Maine. I started on the tools in 2018, and I've spent the 8 years since building, estimating, selling and marketing construction work in this state.
- Degree in sustainable construction, Kennebec Valley Community College, 2020
- OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 construction safety training
- More than 50 garages and 30 homes built, start to finish
Laborer to Founder
I started on job sites in 2018 on a timber-frame crew, while I worked customer service at Home Depot. From 2020 to 2022 I was a carpenter and estimator for a Maine home builder, and I worked up to running jobs. Then I spent three years in inside sales at a Maine lumberyard.
I started Blueprint Web in 2020, then Garage Builders Maine and Seth's Home Pros in 2025. I run all three from Waterville, where I live with my wife and our two kids.

Maine licenses plumbers and electricians, not general contractors or builders. So there's no state license for me to show you. What I can show you is the work, the degree and the safety training.
