Bruce Lilly, founder and president of Clearwater Builders, grew up in Berwick, Maine where he was introduced to the construction industry at an early age by his father who owned a commercial HVAC sheet metal business. In 1972, after graduating high school, he spent 3 years working for Hall Bros. Roofing specializing in custom copper and slate work. While restoring roofs of some grand old homes along the seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire, Bruce developed his appreciation for the incredible craftsmanship displayed in these homes.

Starting in 1975, Bruce spent 10 years working for Vermont Heating and Ventilating out of Burlington, VT. At that point, Bruce and his brother, Bob, founded a commercial HVAC sheet metal business and aggressively grew the business during the following 8 years to become a leader in the New England commercial market. He sold his ownership of New England Tech Air in 1994 and moved to Bethel, Maine seeking to build custom homes and pursue his passion for skiing. During the next 22 years, his general contracting business grew steadily and Bruce invested in developing real estate in the Bethel region at Powder Ridge and the Peaks. Under Bruce’s leadership, Clearwater Builders focused on producing high quality custom homes and consistently worked to refine the level of detail featured in the projects in these developments.

In his spare time, Bruce and his wife Sheila enjoy traveling, road biking and spending the winter skiing in Utah.
