Contractor reviews in Ellicott City, Maryland

Excellent work and of the utmost quality. Always willing to support a Veteran Owned company. Small jobs or big ones they can handle it all.

Needed a retaining wall and new driveway. These guys gave a great price and were very efficient. My neighbors love the work.

They were able to meet a tight deadline and had very good follow up after the project was complete. Overall a great service.

Our experience with the men of American Veteran was exemplary! They were communicative throughout our entire renovation. The barn is in great shape now thanks to them!

Several options were given for our projects that offered us choices. The work was completed in a timely manner and as promised. They did a great job cleaning up the site after they were done. Thanks for the great work!

My wife and I were looking to have our front porch extended and our walkway redone. We had a general idea of what we wanted but needed vision from the experts. We had a few estimates and decided to go with American Veteran as their estimate was the fairest. Tony took the time to explain exactly what would be done. He brought over samples of different stones so we could get a feel of what it would look like. Mother nature didn't cooperate but Tony stayed in constant communication with us to let us know when the guys would be at the house. American Veteran does quality work for a fair price and they don't cut corners. I wish I could add a before and after picture. Needless to say, we are quite pleased with the work that was done and I would highly recommend this company to everyone. Honorable mention to Razzle...the inspector.

This company was great! They gave a fair price and were committed to completing this job... It's great that they hire Vets and the integrity displayed by their work product was outstanding

Repeat customer. Their quality and professionalism is the best in the industry. Skilled at what they do and done correct the first time. Look no further.

Zak was very helpful with helping us figure out what to do with our kitchen. He explained everything he was going to do and completed the work quickly. Our pantry looks great!

Zak and the rest of Porta construction has taken care of my family for years thru various projects and proposals. From concrete patios to 6 car garages. This team is a pleasure to work with

We have had several projects completed by Porta Construction ranging from concrete flat work to interior projects such as room addition and interior finishing. They are a very nice, family run business. We were very pleased with the prompt service, craftsmanship and attention to detail. We would highly recommend this company.

Turned our 70's tiny bathroom into our own spa experience by moving a closet and installing large shower and double sinks. Zak suggested a change that allowed more natural light to flow in. His professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail made for a high quality job!

Had our basement finished/with a full bath. The quality was excellent and the project was completed quickly. The Porta team kept us updated throughout the whole process and was very responsive to any questions we had along the way. Highly recommend!

Zac and his team were very professional and went above and beyond the scope of the job. We had them team fix our areaway retaining wall. They fixed/replaced the wall flawlessly as well as our drain without any additional charge. All work was completed in a timely fashion. We would strongly recommend their service.

Porta Construction did a wonderful job adding a large garage/workshop plus a covered front porch to our home and it was during Times of COVID. They finished the job on time and on budget which is impressive during Times of COVID. The garage/workshop matches the house beautifully. The front porch is wonderful. We have received nothing but compliments. This is a family business that takes pride in their work. They are conscientious, responsive, honest, and reliable. We are extremely pleased.

Porta Construction gave us the refinished basement of our dreams! I gave Zak a general idea of what I wanted and he delivered beyond expectation, down to the last detail. A family owned business that clearly takes pride in their work. I will definitely be contacting Porta Construction for future home projects.

We are so glad that we contacted Porta Construction for our backyard rehab. We needed a large patio, 2 flower gardens, large deck steps and more removed and replaced. They worked well with us to plan this project and offered great ideas. They were very prompt everyday and the project was finished sooner than we thought it would be. We were so impressed with their professionalism, craftsmanship and attention to detail. I would certainly contact them again with any indoor or outdoor projects.

Had a bathroom and walk-in closet extension put onto our home. It looks beautiful and we are extremely happy with it. These people will work with you, are flexible and patient. They did a fantastic job, both in the construction and design. They were open to specific ideas that may have been out of other construction company's comfort zone but Zac and Stephanie understood what we were asking for and figured out what was needed and how to achieve it. They were a joy to work with and, In fact,, we will be requesting another bid this fall for an additional project.

I wanted to build a wooden arbor to get married under for my waterside wedding in Sept of 2018. Not having the carpentry tools to complete this task, I employed Porta Construction to help me with my vision. Porta construction took my idea and transformed it into an absolute work of art. With constant communication, excellent brainstorming sessions, blueprints/design, hard work, execution of construction and then the final beautiful arbor that my wife LOVED... I cannot think of anything I would have done different. This experience working with Zak Porta was one of ease, courtesy, consideration for my vision, and inspiration. I will 100% be using Porta Construction Inc. in the future. We kept the arbor and it is now the focal point of our back yard, a piece that we will be talking about for years to come.

We had Porta Construction put a 2 story 20 x 26 family room, 1/2 bath open cencept on the first floor, master bedroom suite on our second floor. Our house has doubled in size and it turned out beautiful. Stephanie, Troy and Zack had a vision on how to make it look like part of our existing house and it looks so wonderful. We are planning on having them put a new driveway in this fall. I would highly recommend them for any of your home improvement needs.

We worked with Zak & Stephanie to replace our patio/pergola area with new composite deck and free standing screened oasis/structure. The Porta team was able to take our vision and make it a reality. In fact, the end product exceeded our initial vision/sketch. With COVID, came some unexpected material sourcing challenges. The Porta team never gave up - after a lot of research and supplier phone calls, they turned those challenges into viable options that were comparable, if not better than the original plan. The Porta team was always responsive and a pleasure to work with. We can't say enough good things about the entire Porta team, including all the trades team. We can't wait to start enjoying our outdoor living space - come on warmer temps! Thank you Zak & Stephanie!!!
