D. A. McCullough - Designer - Builder
New & Custom Home Builders in South Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 21, 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”

Richard Moody & Sons Construction LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in South Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 4, 2016
“We started our working relationship with Moody Construction in 2014 on a new beach-front home in Wells, Maine. We provided the architectural services and Jason Moody and team the construction. Jason was our point of contact for the project and led the construction team until completion of the project in 2015. Born and raised into the construction industry, Jason has a deep understanding of construction in the harsh seacoast environment and the associated approvals processes, and of working closely with the homeowner and the architect to bring the design vision to life. As the architect for the project, we appreciated the care taken in the construction details, and the professionalism of the Moody team. We are happy to refer them to our residential clients and look forward to working with them again.”

Brush and Hammer Builders
New & Custom Home Builders in South Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 14, 2019
“As a real estate professional, it isn’t uncommon to walk through a property that you wish was yours... This is exactly what happened to me the day I walked through one of Brush and Hammer Builders spec homes in Portland, Maine. I quickly brought my husband back, and with little convincing we quickly signed a contract to hire them as our builders to make this dream a reality. One of the first things that stood out to me about Anthony and Adam was their attention to detail and passion for their craft. I was completely floored by their selection of finishes, carpentry and ability to work with you to ensure they were creating the space you envisioned. In my case... this was an open kitchen design with lots of storage, and a walk-in butlers pantry with a counter top and floating shelving. While my husband didn’t think it could happen, they proved otherwise, and have created a space for me with beautiful, high quality cabinetry, custom navy island end panels, and the pantry exactly as I imagined. Anthony and Adam have experience in design, are organized, wonderful communicators, and have a fantastic process that results in an incredible product. If you are considering building a home, or looking to them for kitchen design, I would encourage you to set up a meeting today. Thank you Brush and Hammer, and Maine Cabinet Company for our dream home!”
Codere Construction Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in South Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 26, 2015
“Codere Construction is the epitomy of both professionalism and work excellence. I have always been impressed with the effort plus workmanship of this company, no matter how small the task. When my house suffered water damage as a result of roof leakage, the interior job site was left in immaculate condition and superior work was completed on time. My out of state inquiries were answered the same day. Codere Construction was able to save me a lot of money by reusing the bead board affected rather than purchasing new material. Codere and his crew are are very respectful with fun personalities that make them easy to have working in your home.”
