About Bar Harbor, Maine

Bar Harbor's island setting on Mount Desert Island shapes nearly every construction and landscaping job in town. Tight lots along Cottage Street and Eagle Lake Road, combined with granite ledge just below the surface, mean contractors reach for mini excavators and skid steers on projects where larger machines simply won't fit or won't perform. Seasonal resort and hospitality properties drive a steady cycle of exterior renovation, hardscaping and utility upgrades between late fall and spring, when the tourist crowds clear out. Dump trailers see heavy use for debris removal after demo work, and aerial lifts are common on commercial facade and roofline jobs along the downtown corridor. Residential landscape grading and drainage work — always complicated by Bar Harbor's rocky substrate — keeps compact equipment in demand through the shoulder seasons. Big Rentals connects you with local owners listing their equipment so you can compare availability, specs and rates before you commit.
