Porter & Sons Construction

Mark Porter (and his sons) recently built a custom home for my wife and me, and the experience (and final product) could not have been better. The quality and precision of their work is exceptional. Mark contributed his expertise throughout the process, saving us time and money and not only making our dream a reality but making the reality better than the dream. Communication was consistent, honest, calm and kind (even when navigating pandemic-related supply chain challenges, etc.). Not only did we get a beautiful home that we love at a fair price, we enjoyed the entire process thanks to the fact that Mark and his crew are such wonderful people to work with. We first heard about Porter & Sons from a co-worker of my wife's who told us what an incredible job Mark had done building her home. Based on her glowing recommendation, we reached out to Mark, also had an outstanding experience, and are now sharing our experience with you. If you are looking for a skilled, knowledgable contractor who's uncompromising in both the quality and integrity of their work, do yourself a favor and contact Porter & Sons. I cannot adequately express how thankful we are that we made that call; I know you will feel the same.

We have used Porter and Sons for many projects; from adding a beautiful fireplace, to building a large garage, complete with an attached study, and now to a complete Kitchen and Bathrooms remodel. They are kind, thoughtful, and caring. They do exquisite work. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Mark Porter involved himself from planning to design, through construction to interior finishes to final completion. He himself has worked in most facets of residential building, enabling him to offer advice based on knowledgeable experience. The subcontractors whom he scheduled in, were without exception polite, trustworthy, and driven with an eye for detail. They, like Mark’s foreman, exceeded expectations. They each were individuals I would want as neighbors: good men. Our 19th Century house required updated electrical and plumbing in the remodel and addition, without being intrusive from the street. Roofing, windows, insulation, exterior and interior trim, tile, flooring, and paint created a cohesive eco-friendly home in which we can safely and comfortably age. Mark Porter provided the expertise we needed.

Mark built a beautiful custom house for me years ago. He's very conscientious and caring down to every detail. I loved that I did not need to call him back for issues when it was done like I've had to do with other home builders. He strives to do it right the first time. Saved me a lot of stress and time. Highly recommend his team to build your home.

Porter & Sons are excellent to work with. They take great pride in their work and pay attention to the smallest details. Their craftsmanship is top notch. Our kitchen, bath rooms, laundry, and deck remodel added greatly to the value of our home and to the pleasure we will have living here. As a remodel on an old house, Mark Porter and his crew addressed tilted floors and ceilings and unexpected structural issues with a determination to get it right from the studs out, instead of just covering it up. They always showed up when they said they would and were dedicated to our project through completion.

Highly recommended. Mark is excellent at communicating. His carpenters are professional, creative, and clean up every night. This team goes above and beyond to get it right. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Mark Porter and his team were honest, skillful and prompt. They called if the schedule had to change (not often!), explained options if there were "surprises" (not often!) and were always professional and friendly. The subcontractors he chose were all new to us, but are now our regulars. They had a stake in the success of our remodel and we celebrated completion and satisfaction as a team! Strongly recommend this contractor. Remodeling is less difficult with a team you trust and whose skills you value.

Porter & Sons has done two projects for us, including a complete bathroom/laundry remodel where we gutted the space and flipped the locations of the tub and laundry. They did a great job of fitting each element back in to the space with very exact margins. More recently, they helped spruce up our basement playroom into a second living room with built-in cabinetry. Mark has a small, skilled crew who are polite and conscientious that their work space is also our living space. They cleaned up at the end of each day and kept the mess of the work space contained. Their carpentry work is top notch and they did an excellent job matching window and door casings to our existing trim. Mark has a great relationship with his sub-contractors, which meant getting the drywall crew and the electrician to come in a timely manner was no problem. We were thrilled that our most current job was completed on time and a little under budget!

In our experiences with Mark and crew, it is clear they bring an exceptional attention to detail to their projects. Our shared clients all praise Porter & Sons - Mark is super easy to work with, and yet he runs a tight ship, keeping everything on its appropriate timeline and budget. Great craftsmanship - Happy customers all around!
