Testimonials

Nate and the N-E Construction team are conscientious, communicative and caring! Nate maintained an open line of communication (by phone, email and text) throughout our project, making us feel valued. Nate's enthusiasm takes the edge off your renovation angst. He's like the conductor of an orchestra, deftly collaborating with his clients, employees, designers and his many hard-working subcontractors (painters, electrician, plumber, roofers, flooring and tile guys). N-E Construction foreman Thom Curtis is a consummate woodworker/finish carpenter. He made our live-edge maple bar top and vintage bead-board island shine.

And N-E Construction finished our project right on time, despite COVID, vendor delays and the unprecedented demand for their capable remodeling services in late 2020.

A good and honest contractor is hard to find (take it from people who went through Hurricane Katrina) if you do, consider yourself lucky; fortunately for us we found N-E Construction. Over the past few months Nate has done several projects around our house, from tile work to door installation, to adding on an addition, all to a standard of excellence. We have found his service to be professional, punctual and honest. The initial estimates were very accurate to the final costs and all unused materials were returned and credited. Nate communicates well and does a good job of working with your schedule. Very highly recommended.

Nate did a spectacular job on my bathroom renovation.  He's a perfectionist, and he's quick and efficient.  He knows exactly what he's going to do and he does it.  I was impressed that he wasn't wasteful with materials -- he returns unused materials to the store and credits them back to the individual!  He's always pleasant and joyful to have in your home, and that made a big difference to me.  I would recommend Nate's services to anyone!

I've worked with numerous contractors in the past, and what a difference it was working with N-E Construction.  Not only were their estimates accurate and their work top quality, but they always kept me updated and explained exactly what was happening.  They were professional, timely, and really believed in good customer service!  I will definitely be using them again.

Highly recommended. Very resourceful and detailed in his work, able to work quickly and efficiently when needed. I was very lax about my project, as it was a mantel shelf surrounding a fireplace that was being done in the summer, but when I did face time crunches he was available and ready when I needed him. What gives him five stars is his dedication to his work. Was able to come back months later to make minor additions to things I over looked in the design. Even followed up the week after to see if there was anything else and to make sure that I was happy with the results. Committed to his projects from start to finish.

Thanks so much, Nate, for all that you did to get our attic in tiptop shape!  You have an impressive team, each with their well-honed expertise.  Please thank them for us. We appreciated your help with the Efficiency Maine rebate forms.  They are in their hands now and we will happily look forward to receiving our check. All the descriptions on your testimonials were right on target.  We wish you only the best! With warm regards.

A true professional on all counts. Most impressive to me is his communication skill.

The service was friendly and professional with good outcomes. He provided a free estimate of the time that would be required for my construction projects and provided sound advice.

I would (and do) highly recommend Nathan to my friends because I know he is honest, will treat them fair.  He is very professional in the way he goes about his business from a clear quote, willingness to review the quote in detail, the work he delivers, the billing, documentation and  professional photo's he provides, and how he kept me updated on progress, and explained things throughout the process.

Nathan was great with working around our schedule and always left our home clean and organized even after a lot of demolition.  It was above and beyond our expectations

I had a great experience with NE Construction about a year ago. Nate, the owner of the company, custom built-in a riser and drawers for my for my upstairs washer and dryer. They were made to my exact specification and finished exactly the way I want them. The project came in on budget, on time, and the site was cleaned up each day until completion. I couldn't have been more pleased working with NE Construction and plan to use them again soon for several more projects.

Outstanding craftsmanship, timely completion. Totally trustworthy. What a blessing to find Nathan Ellis and his crew!

The job N-E Construction did was excellent. He was flexible, easy to work with, professional, and reliable. I'd give him A’s all the way down.

I was quite impressed with Nathan's professionalism and also his sensitivity to the needs of our household during the demolition process. Nathan interpreted my vision for our kitchen face-lift and offered helpful suggestions. I will definitely use Nathan's services in the future and will recommend him to my friends and family.

Highly professional, personable, on time and on budget. Excellent overall experience. Highly recommend

I had an experience similar to Leo K's. Nathan didn't just follow the plan (for remodeling our kitchen.) He made a crucial suggestion that made our plan much better.

We are SO impressed by this company and its principal, Nathan Ellis, who estimated, planned well, and left our home cleaner than they found it. We intend to schedule and complete several additional projects with this intelligent, capable, practical, and trustworthy contractor.

I am very satisfied with the work done. Nathan does good work and kept me updated as to the progress done on the job while I was away from home.  I have recommended him to several friends already who have needed small repairs or more major projects.

As an insulation contractor I worked with Nathan many times over the past years. It's always a pleasure to work with a contractor who pays attention to detail and wants to do things the right way. In this field cutting corners seems to be the norm, but not with Nate.

I am a first time home owner in Portland and NE construction has been great to work with! Saved a garage that the previous home owner had failed to repair after a tree fell on it. They came in and repaired / replaced 6 broken rafters. They also noticed the it was badly designed and put in ties to keep the building from spreading and collapsing They were under budget and very responsive by text, phone, or email.
