Matt Piantoni has been working on homes in the Saco village of Camp Ellis that were battered by extreme storms this winter. In the last year, he has replaced staircases and removed porches. On Monday, he was out jacking up one home’s foundation on massive 10-foot piers. More homeowners are seeking these kinds of services following twin January storms that led to record flooding along Maine’s coast.
