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.

Staircase Project

We used Portu-galo for our Staircase. Jimmy and Brian did an excellent job reconfiguring our railing and pickets. They’re professional and reliable - I would highly recommend them for any project.

Finished basement, painting and hardwood flooring

We used Portu-Galo for our basement finishing. We found Jimmy very professional with good interpersonal skills. From the quoting process to the finished basement it was a pleasure to work with him and Brian. They were in our house for four weeks and we never felt like they were in intruding. Their work was of the highest quality and any issues small or large were dealt with immediately and resolved. We were kept up to date on a daily basis and the next week’s plans were explain. They also did hardwood flooring upstairs and painted both levels. Their work again was of the highest quality. Our basement looks fantastic! We would highly recommend them!

Full Condo Reno

We had just bought our retirement condo knowing it needed some TLC. We brought Jimmy in and he knew exactly what was needed. He worked very quickly and efficiently and did an incredible job. We ended up putting in all new floors, doors, trims, and paint. Even took care of "previous reno" mistakes and cover ups that could have caused a lot of grief in the near future. Thanks Jimmy, we look forward to dealing with you again in the future

Bathroom renovation

Jimmy and Brian went over and above for my wife and I. We had a huge master bathroom issue and they were out that weekend developing a plan and making sure our family was safe from the mold that was built up. Now we shower in our amazing master bath without worry. Highly recommend them.

Living room and lower level renovation

We hired Portu-Galo to do renovations in our living room as well as our lower level bedroom.
They created a warm welcoming space for our family and created an amazing stone fireplace for us.
In our lower level, they repaired damage from a leaky foundation, replaced drywall and installation and replaced the flooring. Changes to electrical and fixtures
Their professionalism and attention to detail was fantastic. They maintained a clean work space and provided us with feedback as the project progressed. We recommend their services. Their work went above and beyond our expectations.
