Tortoise construction was amazing to work with. The owner, Mike, not only built an incredible deck and patio for us, he patiently worked with us in the design process ahead of time. It’s been a year since the project was completed, and not a day goes by where we aren’t amazed with the transformation of our yard thanks to Tortoise. We’re looking forward to having Mike and team back for other projects down the road. Highly recommended.

Mike and his team were fantastic. They did an amazing job converting our old disgusting garage into a beautiful family space. Would absolutely hire them again!

The Tortoise team remodeled my hall bathroom back in March and did a fantastic job, from start to finish and right on schedule with no budget surprises. Mike gave a fair estimate and helped me think through design decisions I hadn't even considered, since he's clearly been through this many times and brings up things us remodel novices might miss. My bathroom went from a cold, sterile, builder-grade afterthought to a calming, coastal-toned retreat. Everything feels cohesive, well thought out and solidly constructed. Mike also suggested a custom glass shower door sized for taller heights which I absolutely love and a bathroom fan that is remarkably quiet, just a couple of small details that make a big difference everyday.While the whole team was great, Troy was the true standout as project manager/finish carpenter. He was on top of every detail, kept the timeline moving, and checked in regularly to make sure I was happy with how things were progressing, not just at the end. He's also just a genuinely friendly, personable guy who made the whole process feel easy rather than stressful - a rare combination of being incredibly organized and genuinely pleasant to have around the house for weeks at a time. I never had to chase anyone down for updates; Troy made sure I always knew what was happening and when.I highly recommend Tortoise to anyone looking to renovate!

Mike told us what works and doesn't work and gave a very reasonable estimate. He kept his words and made sure the project completed timely.

We used Tortoise construction for our whole home remodel! We had a wonderful experience working with Mike and his team! Mike was fair, honest, reasonable with pricing, and had great communication throughout the project. Our final project turned out absolutely amazing! Mike has been very easy to work with and has had great communication and responsiveness throughout the project. He even came and helped us fix our broken fence (totally unrelated to the remodel) after the project was done. He stands by his work and we have been very impressed with the quality and outcome of the project. I would highly recommend tortoise construction for any remodel project! Ps we were the Denton Dr whole home remodel on his website!
