Mud room rebuilt and board and batten siding

We would like to thank Jimmy and Brian for a great job they did on our house. It started with a small project but after Jimmie’s advice we decided to extend it to covering most of the house with the board and batten siding.
After having a few bad experiences with other contracting companies we were apprehensive to hire another unreliable and incompetent one. Jimmy and Brian proved that there are still excellent, hardworking and skilled contractors around. They did the job in a timely and very professional manner. They had great ideas how to deal with some unexpected challenges and expectations.
It was a pleasure to work with them. They turned our house into a little beauty and during the time they worked around our house they brought some life and fun we need so much at this crazy time.
Thank you.

Drywall repair and installation

I wanted to convert my garage into a more usable workspace, and had some electrical work done (additional outlets installed, etc.). The electrician created some horrific holes in the old drywall to run wiring that would need to be patched. The existing drywall was in poor condition to begin with, and half of the garage had no drywall at all.
I called Jimmy at Portu Galo and was impressed immediately with his professionalism and obvious expertise.
The work went quickly, and the results were beyond what I was expecting for my old garage. Very professional job! I would recommend Jimmy and his team anytime.

Repairs to our bathroom

We had several repairs that we needed done for our bathroom so I contacted Portu-Galo. Jimmy was very quick to respond and provided a quote in a very timely manner.
Portu-galo (Brian) repaired our bathroom to our satisfaction. We appreciated their efficiency and timeliness.
Thanks Jimmy and Brian!

Three season sunroom addition

We knew only that we wanted to replace an existing patio with a three season sunroom & deck: beyond that, we didn’t have a clue! Jimmy guided us through every step and requirement of the project. He even emailed progress photographs during a time when we had to be away from home. He stresses communication with his clients! Throughout the whole process, he was seldom not on site and when he couldn’t be here, he always came by at day’s end to check on the work done. If it wasn’t to his standards, the subcontractors were called back to make things right. He really does champion his clients’ cause! He holds himself and everyone who subcontracts with him to an extremely high standard. Near the end of the project, we joked that we were concerned we’d have to settle for a lean-to but ended up with a work of art! We did go over budget but that was mostly because of choices we made as the project progressed.
