McNamee Construction - Monterey, California

This is a long review, but the contractor you choose for a residential construction project is a key element in its success and your happiness. We have used McNamee construction in 3 projects, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

After extensive contractor review and reference checks, we chose Noel McNamee for the first project of what would become an extensive remodel of our mid-70's home. We were so pleased with that outcome--the project was completed with great quality, in time and under budget--that since that time and Noel and his company has been our "go to" construction partner for all three phases of our extensive remodel.

Noel maintains a high standard of quality, and his creative approach met the many challenges of our 1970's multi-angled redwood home. His experience-driven recommendations helped save both time and money, and protected us from costly mistakes that sounded fine on paper. In addition to Noel's roll-up-his-sleeves style, Noel's network of subs are extremely high quality, and the team were sensitive to the fact that we continued to live in the property while the phased remodel was completed. Noel worked closely with our architectural designer, consulted with us as the project took shape, and readily accommodated modifications we requested. Since we lived in the home will work continued, they carefully screened off the areas underway to contain dust and construction.

We chose to do the project in phases over several years. 1) First, our complete kitchen remodel and large ocean deck. 2) Several years later, we chose McNamee Co again to handle the remodel (down to the studs and back again) of our top floor master-suite, including reconfiguration/ re-engineering to incorporate huge windows, exotic wood floors, moving of walls, relocation of master bath, master closet, and extensive custom cabinetry. 3) Based confidence and trust built on our experience together, we engaged Noel again for the remodel of another level of our home: removing and re-configuring walls, raising/concealing support beams, entire reconfiguration of bath, laundry, water and heating systems, expanding stairways, full re-flooring, and replacement/ enlargement of windows.

The results in every case have been of the highest quality, challenges were met with patience and creativity, the team accommodated our decision processes, and the workmanship continues to receive compliments from friends. With Noel our challenging projects saw successful results, and McNamee's work has stood the test of time.

McNamee Construction worked with us to build Revivial Ice Cream in downtown Monterey. As it was our first business and we were new to this type of development they were very friendly and supportive throughout the entire process. We had a strict budget and they were very accommodating, even helping us with ways to cut expenses.
Even two years later the McNamee team stops in for ice cream and is always asking how things are working. Great team and Noel is an awesome leader.

McNamee Construction recently completed a complex renovation involving a conversion of a garage with sloping floor into a gorgeous music, office and hospitality center, which I now enjoy immensely. Finishes, cabinetry, lighting, flooring, ocean view windows, plumbing fixtures and finishes are all superb!

At the end of it all, Noel and team did an amazing job on our home in Carmel. The quality of the work and the attention to the decisions that needed to be made resulted in a home we enjoy everyday we are there.

Avoid at all costs. Extremely disapointed with all aspects of the job done. Took much longer,...this is my only one star- based on a nightmare.
