Why choosing local contractors matters in Milwaukie
Hi everyone! I saw a recent discussion about contractor selection and wanted to weigh in. When residents in Milwaukie and the greater Portland area choose to support local contractors like ACGI over larger regional companies, it usually comes down to three key factors:
1. Accountability & A "Neighbor-First" Mindset
With large regional companies, you might just be "Job #402" on a spreadsheet. With a local
contractor, you are literally our neighbor. ACGI is a 4th-generation family business with deep roots
here. We live here, we work here, and our reputation is built on quality, not a marketing
budget.
2. Specialized Local Knowledge & Craftsmanship
Local contractors understand the specific needs of our area's homes. With a legacy spanning back
to Yacon Construction and Andy's Professional Painting, we prioritize "quality over quantity".
Knowing which exterior paints hold up to our PNW rain or understanding local remodeling codes
comes from 15+ years of specific local experience.
3. Money Stays in the Community
Supporting local means supporting your own town. We are deeply committed to civic engagement,
volunteering with organizations like Catalyst NW and Compassion 1st. We also offer a 10% discount for
veterans to honor my father’s Navy service.
