Featured Reviews for Portland Maine, ME General Contractors

Medomak Construction Inc
Portland Maine, ME General Contractors
August 30, 2019
“Medomak Construction was a great company to work with. From the start of the project design (the project lead took my vision from my head and made it happen), to pricing (offered options that were cost savings or choices that cost more but offered the superior product that would last a "lifetime"), to the execution of the project...the staff was all amazing! The project lead, the hands on staff that were on the job site were all great to work with. They answered all the insane questions my husband had on nearly a daily basis with a smile on their face. I would recommend this company for any job. The owner has been amazing in offer advice about future jobs that we may want to jump into. It has truly been a fantastic experience. Thank you Medomak Construction!”
O'Brien Wood & Iron LLC
Portland Maine, ME General Contractors
September 11, 2018
“Highly recommended for historic homes! We used O'Brien Wood & Iron when redoing creaky floors and stairs in a 1700's home in Stroudwater historic district. Mat was punctual, honest, and detail-oriented -- the perfect combination for a contractor. It took me an extra week to pay them because I didn't have checks yet, but they were flexible and understanding. I'd hire them for any project -- big or small.”
Oceanside Builders, LLC.
Portland Maine, ME General Contractors
January 5, 2013
“Among other projects Eric Smith, owner of Oceanside Builders, has done for us over the past twenty-some years, is a dock built for our house in Maine. The existing dock when we bought the house was worn beyond repair and poorly installed. Eric and his crew built us a sturdy new ramp and float dock, over 100' long, out into the tidal cove in front of our house. The trickiest part was building the stairs down the embankment; the old ones had just been laid down on the clay. The new ones are pinned and tied into the bank and are not going anywhere! The quality of work done by this company is of the highest standard. You will find cheaper companies in the area but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. The work they do is done right the first time, the team works well together and with us, They have creative and innovative ideas to make the project better. They rarely get upset by unexpected "challenges" and will work with the client to obtain the desired result. A critical attribute Eric has is knowing the codes of the surrounding towns and the ability to work with the town and government officials in obtaining permits. And if they can't make it as scheduled, they will CALL you to let you know!”
Tozier Group, Inc.
Portland Maine, ME General Contractors
February 23, 2014
“We have worked with this firm on several projects: one, a whole house remodel, another a complete kitchen renovation. The quality of the work, the professionalism of every employee, was impeccable and outstanding. Cannot say enough good things about Ron Tozier and his crew.”
Peter B. Rice & Co
Portland Maine, ME General Contractors
August 13, 2013
“Materials and workmanship were excellent. Fit and finish looked great. Peter Rice and crew listened very well and undertook modifications to the plans as we wished or as conditions such as terrain or prevailing winds or sun direction required. After 10 percent of the way through the construction project, I had complete confidence in Peter Rice to the point i didn't need to visit the site too frequently.”

RWN Inc

April 1, 2019
“We are home owners in New Hampshire and contracted with RWN to provide landscaping to our new build as well as plow, sand, and shovel our property. John and his team did an outstanding job grading our property and solving several unexpected drainage issues. They created a beautiful new lawn for us. During the unpredictable New Hampshire winter, they kept our drive way clear and sanded, and are always available if we have questions or concerns.”
Greater Portland Renovations
Portland Maine, ME General Contractors
July 27, 2019
“I highly recommend Greater Portland Renovations. Originally, they did a rot repair job for us. Moisture got in under or front door and caused rot. They arrived to do the work on the scheduled day at the time promised. Even though the rot spread a bit further than expected, the cost remained within the estimated range. I was so impressed with the integrity of the company and kindness of the workers, that I also decided to hire them to install new hardwood floors in our home. As they were doing the job, they came across more rot under the back door, which we had no idea about. They took everything in stride. They repaired the issue right away, and charged us a reasonable amount to repair it. Our old floors were both glued and nailed down with a nail about every half inch of flooring. This was by means no easy job. They still managed to finish the job quickly, as they knew we were trying to sell our home. The floors were installed perfectly, and look amazing. I would recommend Greater Portland Renovations to ANYONE!!!”

What is a general contractor?


General, or construction contractors, are often known as project managers. They oversee the entire remodeling or new home construction project and facilitate all day-to-day tasks that move it toward completion. A Portland Maine general building contractor will work with your architect to review plan as you build a house and ensure everything is in place before work is started as well as arrange for permits and necessary inspections. While good local home improvement contractors in Portland Maine will have the skills to handle certain tasks onsite, such as carpentry, he or she is also responsible for hiring subcontractors for the majority of jobs, such as electrical work, painting or plumbing. In addition, the general contractor should be on-site regularly to inspect the progress and resolve issues. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of general contractors: Architects & Building Designers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.

Home remodeling contractors are a must for successful completion of a renovation. Because of this, it's essential that you do your homework before deciding on the right general contractor in Portland Maine as you remodel or build a house. Inspect bids carefully. Was it ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid for building a home unusually high or low? Each of these things can be very telling: A late bid may reflect timing standards, and an off-the-mark bid could be code for a pricey premium or a deliberate underbid to score the remodeling job. You should call references, carefully read reviews and visit completed projects in Portland Maine, ME to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you do secure your local Portland Maine contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.

Questions to ask prospective Portland Maine general contractors:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • What qualities do you look for in your subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can your job get done?
  • What will I need to provide?
