"We even moved in 2-3 weeks earlier than we originally anticipated!" - Ryan, Katie, Brayden and Hailey Greenlaw
On behalf of our entire family, we would like to thank you for the absolutely fantastic experience we had while building our home in Greene. Every person we encountered from day one all the way through until we moved in was incredibly helpful, skilled, knowledgable, friendly, and courteous. Each person we encountered along the way seemed to be highly skilled, paid attention to detail, worked efficiently, and was truly the ideal person for the job. We had very few issues come up and when we did, we got immediate responses and fixes. Overall, our experience was very pleasant. We greatly enjoyed visiting the house on an almost daily basis and seeing the progress that was made. We even moved in 2-3 weeks earlier than we originally anticipated! We are so glad we did our due diligence and researched builders before selecting Fortin. We would highly recommend Fortin to anyone looking to build a house made with quality craftsmanship. We are delighted to finally be in our dream home and we thank the Fortin team for helping to make that dream come true.

"Everyone we dealt with from Fortin was top-notch." - Joe and Susan Amoroso
Everyone we dealt with from Fortin was top-notch. You are quite fortunate to have the crews you have working for you. We couldn't even begin to say enough good things about Cherie and Chris; they made our life easy during the process. All the workers on your crew were friendly and helpful whenever we came on site. And speaking of coming on site, we didn't do that very often because we didn't need to. Everything goes without a hitch. The two crew members we met most often were Matt and Tony, skilled craftsmen who were always willing to answer any questions. David Ward is a no-nonsense type of guy who gets the job done. He stood on his head to get us in early. He was aware of our situation, and we are most appreciative of his efforts. Bub is awesome, and we are looking forward to dealing with him. I hope we didn't leave anyone out. If we did, rest assured that everyone from your organization was top drawer. This is the second home we built, and the process with Fortin was much smoother than the first. I had to be on site 2-3 times a day with our first home construction. With Fortin, I sometimes went several weeks without going on site; I didn't have to.

"We enthusiastically recommended Fortin Construction to anyone wanting to build a quality home in Maine." - Lew Flagg
Having talked with four builders before Fortin Construction, during which time we began the design of our new home, we were impressed from the first meeting with Mark Fortin as we told him what we wanted to build. At the end of a two-hour meeting, he presented us with a nine-page document describing what we would build, ending with the cost. The design process continued in consultation with members of the Fortin team, and then the building began. Only two weeks after the target date, we moved into our beautiful new home (our design was a framing challenge). The house is a display of craftsmanship and artistry, but even more remarkable was the quality of the Fortin team, including all of the subs. Every member of the team was a pleasure to work with, right through to the customer service gentleman who followed up on the inevitable post-closing details. We have come to think of them as friends. Fortin Construction is a company of high competence and high integrity. When I describe our experience to people who have built homes, they are incredulous. We enthusiastically recommended Fortin Construction to anyone wanting to build a quality home in Maine (even if "quality" doesn't mean expensive). We expect this to be our last house, and we expect to continue to be very happy with the house and the team that built it for us.

"The job was started and finished within the time frame promised." - Frank and Karen Papineau
The job was started and finished within the time frame promised and, equally important, at the price quoted us. Yet, even more rewarding for us was witnessing the professionalism and work ethic that your crew brought to the job site each day.

"I can't say enough good things about the work they did." - Thomas G. Wright
The finished product is superb, and I will gladly pass along the name Fortin Construction to anyone I know who is thinking about doing any home building or remodeling project. In particular, I wanted you to know that all the members of the Fortin team I dealt with were professional and highly competent. The workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. I can't say enough good things about the work they did. Sometimes we only get feedback when things go wrong, so I wanted to be sure to let you know that on this job everything went right. And it was the quality people you have working for you who were responsible for that.

"We didn't think that building could have been as stress-free as you made it for us." - Tim and Tina Letourneau

A great, direct, honest approach by the entire staff at Fortin. You considered my situation carefully, gave great recommendations and options.

"Hard work, honesty, and integrity allow Fortin to build the highest quality home at the best price." - Robert and Jill Close
I just want to write to express our gratitude and appreciation for the home you just built Jill and me. We both couldn't be happier with the people, the process, and most of all, the final product.

"You went especially above and beyond what we anticipated." - Jamie and Liz Stultz
We were very happy with the process - painless and enjoyable. And we got exactly what we were hoping to end up with and paid exactly what we expected to pay. You went especially above and beyond what we anticipated, and because of this, we feel we had a much better overall experience than expected.

"I can say with great confidence that my overall experience with Fortin Construction is first class and second to none." - Rich and Jeanne West
This was my second home and first time building new. I have known many people who have built, and three immediate family members have built homes in the past five years. So I can say with great confidence that my overall experience with Fortin Construction is first class and second to none. To have sales, design, construction, and service under one roof with friendly, qualified people who make it happen, is how a business should be run. Most importantly, the end product has to be great quality and fair value. It felt like the Fortin crew was a family and we were part of it. Lastly, Dave Ward just put my mind at ease; he is so pleasant to work with and always in control. Thanks for a great home.
Rich and Jeanne West, Gray
"Building my home with Fortin has been a pleasure from day one." - Susan Loughrey
I want to thank you and everyone at Fortin Construction for the fine work done on my new home. As a single woman, the idea of building a home was somewhat intimidating, and many people advised me against it based on their own experiences building their homes. I want you to know that building my home with Fortin has been a pleasure from day one. Every single person I encountered, from your office staff to on-site workers, was pleasant, courteous, and helpful. They always welcomed my questions and did everything possible to assist.
I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Dave Ward. He made the building process completely trouble-free for me. From our first meeting where he thoroughly explained the process to the final walk-through, his optimistic “can do” attitude has been wonderful. If all businesses had a Dave Ward, there would be no need for customer service training - he lives customer service!
Finally, I want to thank you for my beautiful home. I know that the people in an organization are a reflection of the leadership and you have put together a team that is the best. I will highly recommend Fortin Construction to anyone looking to build or renovate. Thank you for making this a wonderful experience. Susan Loughrey, Turner

"Anyone would be crazy to choose any other contractor other than Fortin Construction." - Amanda Tanguay
The entire process of building a home was enjoyable right from the start to finish. The communication was right on point, and the professionalism was outstanding. You all defiantly have your act together. I wouldn't change anything if I were to do it all over again. My brother and cousins also used Fortin Construction and all three of us are 100% satisfied with our homes. My mother hopes to build soon, and she will definitely use Fortin to build her home. Words will never express the gratitude I have for how wonderful my home building experience has been. You all seemed just as excited as I was from the start to finish, and by the end I felt as though we were all part of a family. My house is gorgeous and I will forever be a loyal customer. Anyone would be crazy to choose any other contractor other than Fortin Construction.

"Everyone was first rate, took great pride in their work, and were an absolute pleasure to deal with." - Mike Hahn
I wanted to let you know how pleased I am (and more importantly my wife is) with the garage and the entire construction process. I cannot say enough about your entire crew and all of the subs that worked on the job. Everyone was first rate, took great pride in their work, and were an absolute pleasure to deal with, which shows in the final product. Just as important as the final product is the process. Once construction started, things happened on time when you said they would happen, and there were no surprises, which made my wife and me very happy.
Mike Hahn, Cumberland
"I cannot say enough positive things about the process of building our home and working with your crew." - Robert Beal
Both my wife and I cannot say enough positive things about the process of building our home and working with your crew at Fortin. As I have mentioned in the past, I had some reservations, which are all barely a memory at this point. From our initial meeting to this point, every concern, request, discussion, or question has been handled professionally and timely by your entire staff. All of your people are enjoyable to work with and take a great deal of pride in what they are doing, from finances to pounding nails and everyone in between. We still have some time to go, but I wanted to thank you and your team's effort in building our house, which is looking great. We appreciate everything.
Robert Beal, Topsham
"Your team made it a very stress free and fun project." - Joe Barker

The customer service was excellent. Everybody involved with the project was very helpful with any and all questions and needs. Your team made it a very stress free and fun project.
