Magee Homes is your next-door remodeling contractor in Portland, CT, based just over the town line in East Hampton and handling kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and window and door replacement.
Kitchen, Bathroom & Window Remodeling in Portland, CT
Magee Homes is right next door. We are based in East Hampton, which borders Portland, so when we take on a kitchen, a bathroom, or a full house of windows and doors in town, we are working minutes from home rather than driving in from another county.
Portland is a small town with a wide range of houses. There are nineteenth-century homes and former quarry-worker houses near the center, colonials and capes through the middle of town, and newer construction out toward Gildersleeve and the East Hampton line. We plan each remodel around the house it belongs to, and we pull the permits and coordinate inspections with the town so the process stays simple on your end.

Portland’s brownstone quarries once shipped stone down the river for buildings up and down the East Coast, and the town that grew up around that work left behind a dense mix of older housing. Homes from that era were built solidly, but they went up long before modern insulation, and they often come with undersized bathrooms, closed-in kitchens, and original window and door openings that no stock unit fits cleanly. Those are exactly the projects where measuring carefully and building to the opening beats ordering something off a shelf.
The newer neighborhoods toward Gildersleeve and the East Hampton line bring a different set of goals: opening a kitchen up to the family room, converting a tired tub surround to a walk-in shower, or replacing a full house of drafty windows before another Connecticut winter. Whatever the vintage, we build for the climate here, with properly flashed windows and doors, sealed and insulated openings, and finishes chosen to last through years of freeze and thaw.
Portland is the middle of our three closest towns: East Hampton, where we are based, is over the line to the east, and Middletown is across the Arrigoni Bridge to the west. We pass through Portland on the way to both, which is why a Portland project rarely has to wait for a crew.

We work out the layout with you first, then the selections: cabinetry, countertops, tile, windows, doors, fixtures, and finishes, chosen to suit an older Portland house as much as your taste.

Portland Remodeling Questions
Questions Portland homeowners ask before a kitchen, bathroom, or window project. Not covered here? Ask us directly.
Yes. Older homes here rarely have standard-size openings, so we measure every opening individually rather than assuming a stock size, and we flash, seal, and insulate as we go. That is what keeps a new window from being a new draft two winters later. Our guide to choosing replacement windows in Connecticut walks through the choices.
Yes. The Portland Building Department on East Main Street issues each permit individually, so a bathroom remodel that moves plumbing and wiring typically carries a building permit plus separate plumbing and electrical permits pulled by the licensed trades. We file through the town’s online permit portal, coordinate the trade permits, and schedule the inspections so the job is not held up waiting on paperwork.
Often, yes. Converting the tub to a walk-in shower, right-sizing the vanity, swapping a swing door for a pocket door, and using the wall space for storage can make a small room work far better inside the same footprint. Our post on small bathroom remodel ideas walks through the options we use most.
Yes. Portland and East Hampton share a town line, and Route 66 runs straight between the two centers, so our crew is minutes from any part of town, from the streets near the old quarries out to Gildersleeve.
Yes. We are a registered Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor, HIC.0671935, and carry full liability insurance. Ask and we will share the paperwork before anything starts.
