Our side hall colonial house was built in 1918, and we wanted to make sure we worked with people who had experience with old homes. We also wanted to hire someone who would handle the project from start to finish- specifically, deal with obtaining permits, coordinating with plumbers, electricians, dry wall specialists, etc. From the moment we first contacted JMC, we knew we were in good hands. Debbie was the first person we spoke with- she asked general questions about what we wanted done, our budget, and expectations. From that first phone call to the last, she was pleasant and simply a pleasure to deal with. John MacDougall (owner) came out to our home to see the space and get to know us and what we wanted. He walked us through the JMC process, and we could immediately tell he cared,and wanted the project to be a good fit for both JMC and us. Why we hired JMC: their good reviews; we liked that they took care of everything, including materials and design; John is a hands on-owner; they are extremely organized and professional. With JMC, we had a great experience designing our new space. They thought of a way to design the space that we would never have been able to think of ourselves. Every detail was picked in their office showroom- which saved us time and energy! Tammy walked us through it all very logically and guided us along the way. She answered every question we had with patience, and she was wonderful to work with! Jack acted as our project manager, and there isnt a nicer guy. He communicated with us regularly, and we knew our house was in excellent hands. The quality of JMCs craftsmanship was flawless. I am a perfectionist, and came home every day amazed at what I saw. The tile in our bathroom, on the floor throughout the space, and back-splash was literally done with such care and attention to detail, that I am still amazed when I look at it all. We trusted them in our home for 12 weeks, never worrying who was there, or what we would come home to at the end of the day. During the course of the work, they identified a serious issue related to wiring throughout the house, that dated back to the 1918 construction. They immediately notified us, and put us in touch with the electrician that they use for their projects. While it was very upsetting that we had this unforeseen issue arise, the electrical company not only took care of everything (rewiring our entire house), they were just as professional and reassuring as JMC. The extra cost was painful, but putting our minds at ease in making our home safer was worth the price. Overall, we are super happy with our new space and gladly recommend to others. Without a doubt we will hire JMC again. In fact, we have had a few times where we have reached out to them for advice (not related to our renovation), and they were super responsive and helpful. JMC truly cares about their clients long after the project is complete. Their reputation for quality is well-deserved.

Cant thank John MacDougall enough for helping us with our home. During a recent home inspection, we were informed of some major structural issues with the home. The original home was a summer bungalo, and 16 years ago an addition was added but the contractor never properly modified the original structure to support the second floor addition. John along with his project mgr Bobbie met with us and discussed all the work that needed to be done to address all issues identified by a structural engineer we hired. Over the course of 3 weeks, three JMC employees Patrick, Manuel and Henry worked on the front section of the home that is nothing more than a crawl space (approx 3-4 feet high). Although I was not home every day when they worked, the three worker were always there when I came home in the evening still working hard. Having spent some time myself in that crawl space, it makes me appreciate how hard it must have been for your group to dig out all 14 of the foundations, lug the cement under by hand and all the other work they did in a very confining space. All three individuals were always polite and easy to speak with. If I had any questions they answered them. The work site was always kept clean, and at the end of the day except for the material neatly piled in the driveway, you probably wouldnt know they were even there. The project manager Bobbie, before the work began discussed all aspects of what would be done. During the weeks of the project, he kept me in the loop throughout the project and was easily reachable. Finally, although I only had to come to the JMC office a few times to drop off paperwork, the staff there were also very nice and helpful. Thanks to JMC.. our house passed all inspections and I know the new buyers who are moving in soon will enjoy the home for years to come. Thanks again to John and his staff/employees.

John and the entire JMC team are one of the most professional and meticulous contractors I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about doing work to their house. From our initial meeting with John, I was given the impression he took great pride in his work, but once we met with the rest of the team, and saw how they worked, we understood it wasnt just John, but the entire organization. Tammy, JMCs designer, held our hand through the entire design process and made making decisions about the cabinets, flooring, counter tops, etc. a breeze. JMC handled all purchases and deliveries which meant no worrying on our end. Tammy also worked with us through the entire project, making sure we were happy with all our decisions and even showed up to our house to make adjustments halfway through the project after I had called her with a question. Once construction started, we were even more impressed. Jack, JMC’s foreman, was always available if something came up and he went above and beyond to make our kitchen perfect. Their carpenter, Henry, was there EVERY day (which is a shock in comparison to some contractors)! I cannot speak highly enough about Henry, who made sure our kitchen came out perfect. On day 1 Jack showed us a calendar of how the next 6 weeks of work would go, and working in commercial real estate, I thought that there was no way they would keep to that timeline. Amazingly they finished EXACTLY on schedule and I thank Henry, Jack, Tammy and Val (JMC’s painter) for that. Their professionalism, cleanliness, and attention to detail made the entire project as painless as a kitchen remodel can be. I am still in shock how our kitchen turned out and how amazing our experience was with JMC! If you are debating which contractor to use, choose JMC.

JMC has done many projects for my family over the last twelve years. I have recommended them as well to friends who have also been thrilled with what John has created for them. That they were as delighted with John’s creativity and mastery of his art does not surprise at all! One of “our” projects was a new kitchen and my dream room: a sun room to grow my orchids. During the initial construction of the kitchen and garden room John came on one of his many supervisory visits. He regarded the window seat that he had designed and decided that it did not “look” the way he wanted, he drew up a new design and had his team of outstanding craftsmen start ALL over. John and his team treat your home as a precious possession, not a work site. John is never satisfied until you are. I recommend JMC without hesitation for any project, big or small. Attention to detail, familiarity with high end materials, a firm desire to do things “right,” always putting the customer first and a profound sense of responsibility make JMC the best. No one believes me when I relate this tale, but it is true. After ten years a problem with drainage of water developed in the orchid room and the floor sagged. John, who I called to repair the problem, NOT to blame him, looked at the floor and said, “WE must have done something wrong, I will fix this at my cost.” After I got up off the floor and rolled in my tongue, JMC came, and repaired the problem, rebuilt the entire floor and my orchids are still happy; I am DELIGHTED.
