See Episode GuideVeterans' 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. With only eight weeks until the first guests arrive and the camp buried under two feet of snow, the team will have to get creative to finish this project on time.
Not-So-Pleasant Camp on Pleasant Pond
Builder Chase Morrill and his team are called in to renovate a neglected camp for a growing family. Right away, the unusual footprint proves troublesome when they try to create a second bedroom inside. Outside, the steep slope becomes a challenge just hours before the reveal. The team is challenged overcome these obstacles in time for the family's end-of-summer party.
A Family Gathering Place
Chase and his team take on a project on McGrath Pond in Oakland, ME, that has been empty for 15 years. Stephanie bought this place from her father and promised him she would fix it up. After her father passed a few years ago, she knew she needed to get some help so she could fulfill her promise and bring it back to the fun cabin it once was. While it seems like a pretty straightforward renovation, starting a project this late in the season raises a lot of challenges. Can Chase and his team get this project done before winter comes and brings construction to a halt?
A Cabin in Training
A couple purchased a quaint cabin with an accompanying railroad caboose. Chase and the team transform both spaces to create a camp by enlarging the main cabin with more sleeping space, indoor plumbing and an updated kitchen, while the caboose provides more bunk space and storage.

Rebuilding The Old Schoolhouse
Chase Morrill and his crew hike through the woods of Dedham, Maine, to restore a dilapidated family camp that was once the old schoolhouse.

When a serious case of rot threatens to close down the entire project, Chase and Ryan are forced to make a very expensive decision.

A Camp on Two Ponds
Builder Chase Morrill and his team are called in to renovate a camp uniquely situated on two ponds.

Off-the-Grid Renovation

130-Year-Old Island Cabin
Chase Morrill and his team tackle the renovation of a 130-year-old cabin located on an island. With a budget of $40,000 and a time frame of six weeks, Chase and his team attempt to overcome the challenges of building on an island to make sure the cabin is around for another 100 years.
A Cabin for the Bride
Chase Morrill and his team are back home in Augusta, ME, getting ready for the wedding of one of their own, Lance, when Chase gets a call from an old friend who has a little log cabin stuck in her backyard. He sees the cabin as a fun project for the team to work on and present to Lance's lovely bride after the wedding, so with no budget and Lance as the foreman, landlord and overall malcontent, the team disassembles the log cabin and moves it onto his property. With the wedding quickly approaching and Lance busy building outhouses and goose pens for his fiance, the team must work fast in order to finish before Lilly walks down the aisle.
Dated Cabin Turned Retreat

A Family Cabin Fit For A King
The Cabin Masters have a $50,000 budget to renovate a camp four-times the size of their usual builds. While they're hesitant to take on such a huge project, the team is determined to deliver after finding out the client is a member of Ryan's favorite band. 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 Legacy Preserved
The Cabin Masters pay tribute to an entomologist and late matriarch of an amazing legacy in West Gardiner, Maine, by restoring two rustic cabins on her 113-acre Wakefield Wildlife Sanctuary. With a budget of $35,000, they restore the cabins by adding composting toilets, hand pumps to pull water from the nearby stream, as well as propane heaters and cook stoves.
Paws, Present and Future
Two animal lovers with a heart for rescuing dogs and cats call on Chase Morrill and his team to transform their West Gardiner cabin into a pet sanctuary. The crew works to bring modern-day amenities into a cabin that's over a century old while maintaining the rustic appeal that originally attracted the owners.
A Dream Come True
A couple with five children calls on the Cabin Masters to take their newly purchased camp on David Pond and turn it into a family vacation cabin that will serve as a central part of their lives for generations to come. Chase and his team are poised to take this blank canvas and create a work of art that includes beautiful pine walls and ceilings and additional sleeping space for the growing family.
