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.

That Build Keeps Getting Delayed You have been ready for this.

General contractor South Portland ME Legacy Construction
You settled into your Willard Beach neighborhood knowing you would need to renovate eventually. The kitchen that was supposed to be done last fall is still untouched. The addition you need keeps slipping each season.

You called a couple of contractors. One showed up late and gave a vague number. The other never returned your call after the first conversation ended.

Every season you wait is costing you more:
  • We show up when we say we will, every single time

  • We build exactly what we planned and agreed on


  • Your property value stays flat while neighbors around you invest
  • You spend another season living with a layout that does not work


  • The project you want next year will cost more than it does today

Stop waiting for someone who shows up. Call (207) 544-4607 for an estimate.
