Featured Reviews for Builders in South Portland, ME

TURN KEY HOMES OF MAINE
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 November 2019
“We were very particular with some “out of the box” ideas we had in building our home and Turn Key Homes worked hard to make sure they came through with all that we asked for. Communication was good as well as the quality of work. An overall pleasant experience.”
Maine Pro Builders
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 August 2023
“Hired to do bathroom shower tiling implementing a design pattern. Work was very good with much attention to detail. Reasonably priced. Very pleased and would hire the crew for other work.”
MAGUIRE CONSTRUCTION INC
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2016
“Maguire remodeled our 1900 home in Cape Elizabeth and rebuilt our lakeside cabin in Bridgton. Their teams were professional, the work was impeccable, and everything was completed on time and within the estimated budgets. The detail work they did on some of the railings and trim was ingenious. As icing on the cake, the neighbors had only positive things to say about their interactions with Maguire's team.”
Red Flannel Remodeling
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 November 2022
“Matt and Jeremiah jjust finished work on a major kitchen remodel. We were blown away at not only the speed at which work was completed but also the attention to detail. The few deadlines we had were always met. The photos speak for themselves but what is missing from them are the people behind that work that were an absolute pleasure to have in our home. 10/10 will have them at the top of our list for any further remodeling”
Maine Deck Masters
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 February 2024
“Chris worked on a wide variety of projects around our house including extensive external trim, which he finished beautifully. He also installed replacement doors and windows in a couple drafty locations, at a price far below the quote I received from a national window company. Chris was here when he said he would be, communicated clearly and charged us a fair price. I would highly recommend Chris for any professional carpentry job.”
Big Country Built
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 January 2021
“I have worked with Big County Builders on a couple projects and trust not only the integrity of how the business is run, but also the innovative thought that goes into the project. Josh not only worries about execution, but also thinks about design, logistics, cosmetic and aesthetics. This is important to me. I don't always have the know how, but have the idea of what I want and Josh always seems to find a way to fit the design of what I am thinking. He asks the right questions and talks about the important things. He does great work and would always recommend him!”

“Very professional and prompt. Nate was very easy to work with and took the time to coordinate all aspects of the project seamlessly. Highly recommended”
Vail General Contracting Inc.
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 October 2015
“Bob Vail is a master Craftsman and his crew is just as exacting and demanding as he is. Our project involved pushing out our kitchen foundation 6ft and rearranging the rooms on the first floor to meet an expanded and updated kitchen. Walls were torn down and new walls were put in place, new windows and doors and a new outside deck also were part of a project that included an entire renovation of a tired old kitchen. Bob consulted and worked with us alongside an architect, kitchen expert and electrician in order to help us select exactly what we wanted, at times he would advocate for us when we met with some unprofessional incidents. Most importantly, Bob was able to flex with some changing demands during the project while still maintaining the integrity of the original plan. Superior finish carpentry highlights surround the new project and bring continued enjoyment as we use our new kitchen and entertain more often than ever before.”
D. A. McCullough - Designer - Builder
Builders in South Portland, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 April 2018
“Dave is an exceptional designer and builder. His knowledge and execution of a plan are professional, accurate and completed with integrity. His talents as a designer and hands on builder are remarkable. His versatility in his abilities to design and build traditional homes as well as more modern-style homes of every size is impressive. I am convinced he can do anything! I found Dave to be patient, kind and trustworthy. He was always willing to hear design ideas and take things out of the box when I wanted to while keeping me within the box when I needed to. He only uses respectful and skillful crew memebers that appear to be loyal to him and admired by them.. I have never felt in better hands with the most important financial and emotional project of my life. I would do another project with Dave in a second! -Julie and her dog Novia”

“This is the first time we used a professional to design a kitchen for us and we are so delighted with the results. Every time I use my kitchen I'm glad that we chose Tina, she thought of every little detail. I LOVE my new kitchen!”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in South Portland:

  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.
