Legacy Construction built an addition onto our home, and the quality is outstanding. The new space blends perfectly with the original house. They worked with us on budget and design and were always upfront about costs and options. Very professional from start to finish.

OUR SERVICES

What We Build in South Portland

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

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.

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.

Every season you wait is costing you more:
  • The cost of materials and labor keeps climbing year after year


  • Another year passes without the home or space you actually need


  • 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.

How We Get Your Build Done

You have waited long enough. We take your South Portland project from plans to a finished build with a clear timeline, a fixed price, and personal oversight.

  • South Portland Homes and What Age Reveals

    South Portland's dense residential neighborhoods carry significant deferred maintenance in many mid-century homes. Foundation issues, aging electrical panels, and moisture damage are among the most common discoveries when we open up a South Portland property for renovation or addition work.

  • Why South Portland Clients Return to Legacy

    Legacy Construction was built on the principle that every project gets the same attention Joe Hausler would demand for his own home. South Portland clients come back because they experience a planning process, communication standard, and finished quality that is genuinely different from what most contractors deliver.

  • What South Portland Clients Experience

    South Portland clients working with Legacy Construction experience a project managed the way Joe Hausler managed $300 million commercial developments, with detailed schedules, proactive communication, and quality control that does not relax when a phase is nearly done. That standard applies to every project.
