Tim Spang
Owner, President
A real Mainer, Tim grew up in Kennebunkport at the family farm and motel/campground resort known as the Beachwood. From the age of 12, he worked for the company construction crew during the summer months and weekends. Upon graduating from Biddeford High School in 1983, Tim worked briefly for another local construction company. However, after working in the family businesses and on the farm since childhood, Tim was no stranger to hard work. And if he was going to work hard, he figured it might as well be for himself. Spang Builders was subsequently started in 1984.
Tim began his business as a jack-of-all-trades with a can-do attitude. He grew the business from odd jobs and small remodels to fine, custom home building and remodeling. Tim is proud that Spang Builders is now one of the most sought-after and well-respected construction companies in southern Maine, known for superb quality, unparalleled customer service, fiscal responsibility, and timely completion.
When Tim is not consulting with clients, office managers, sub-contractors and foremen, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Louise, and their two children, Jameson and Clayton, on their small farm or Down East camp. He enjoys dirt biking and snow-mobiling with Clayton as often as possible, nurturing his young-at-heart attitude! Tim and Louise became grandparents in January 2020 and their grandson, Parsons, is a source of daily joy. He's already getting his feet wet visiting sites and a regular in the office. His little brother, Shepley, joined the crew in September 2023!...the third generation!

Norm is also a native Mainer, growing up in nearby Biddeford where he continues to reside with his four children. Norm graduated from Biddeford High School in 1989 and attended Southern Maine Technical College.

After graduating from college in 1991, Norm came to work for Spang Builders where he has worked his way up through the ranks from helper, to carpenter, to field foreman, to project manager to his current position of Lead Estimator and Head of Project Management. His soup-to-nuts knowledge of the building process has made him an indispensable member of Spang Builders. Norm now manages the project management department and completes all estimates that come through Spang, communicating with the customers and subcontractors throughout the process. Because of his longtime employment with Spang Builders, Norm is an invaluable member of our team.

Jameson Spang Davis
General Manager
Jameson is a second generation addition to the family business. Jamie grew up in Kennebunkport and has always been surrounded by the construction world. She grew up going to job sites and meeting clients with her father, Tim. So as they say. “It’s in her blood!”
Jamie attended Kennebunk High School where she excelled at academics and athletics. She was a National Honor Student, a three year varsity soccer player and a four year varsity lacrosse player earning All-American Honors. While Jamie matriculated at Bowdoin College, she transferred to Babson College to pursue a degree in finance and entrepreneurship knowing that someday she may want to become part of the family business. At Babson, she continued her lacrosse career; she was a four year starter, Conference Rookie of the Year, two year Most Valuable Player, four year All Conference Player, two year All-Region Player and she was selected to play on the Division Three Senior North-South All-Star game.
