We spoke with several contractors before choosing Legacy Construction and are glad we did. Their communication was excellent, and they handled every detail of our project with care. They take pride in their work, and it shows in the final product.

It’s hard to find a trustworthy contractor these days, let alone one that cares about the all the details that can easily get lost in the grand scheme of the project. Legacy Construction threaded that needle, and many others, expertly. Looking forward to the next time we can work together.

Garage Building in South Portland

Still No Garage in Your Neighborhood? You have been waiting on the right builder.

Garage builder South Portland ME Legacy Construction
You live in the Willard Beach neighborhood and you know what another winter of street parking costs in wear and stress. The garage plan has been ready. The builder who could execute it has been harder to find than the plan itself.

You called two contractors. One gave a quote without seeing the lot. The other visited once and went silent, never sending the follow-up proposal he said would arrive within a few days.

Every season without a garage costs you more:
  • We show up when we say we will, every single time

  • We build exactly what we planned and agreed on


  • Your urban property value stays lower than comparable homes with covered parking
  • Garage construction costs keep rising and your budget buys less each year


  • The garage you want next year will cost more than it does right now

Stop letting another winter pass. Call (207) 544-4607 for a free estimate.
