LJ McCreary built two homes for us, and remodeled a third, over a period of 25 years.He was totally involved, transparent, and never exceeded our budget by more than 10%. He is totally trustworthy, and will never leave you unprotected. A true professional.

LJ McCreary, his entire team, and all of the subcontractors he works with are amazing. My family had a very unfortunate and awful experience with our original contractor while building a guest house in our backyard. LJ not only stepped in and took over the job mid-work, but he did so with enormous grace, thoughtfulness, kindness, and expertise. McCreary Homes is an incredibly professional business that took the time to understand our project, our needs, and our concerns and then delivered to meet our every expectation. We are enormously grateful to McCreary Homes for what is now a beautiful guest house that brings our family much joy.

I have worked with McCreary homes on two large projects. One was a bath , kitchen and interior remodel of my 100+ year old home. Currently a major 1000 sq ft add on to the same home is almost complete. I cannot imagine working with any other contractor. L.J. And his foreman Scott are so amazing to work with. They think of every detail and they work with seasoned subcontractors for wood work, electrical, plumbing , tile painting etc. each of the subcontractors are skilled craftsmen who LJ has worked with and vetted. When it came to design for the kitchen and bath, L.J. referred me to a wonderful design coordinator , Tam. When I needed an idea of how to design the addition of a primary bedroom suite and laundry room, LJ knew just the right design/ drafting firm and Paul was delightful to work with. The tile work in the kitchen and bath areas was done beautifully by a meticulous tile installer. All of the woodwork in the addition was hand crafted to match the original home interior by Ken and his team. When I saw the perfect porch railing in Telluride, they recreated it for my new covered porch . Sitting on this porch delights me every morning with a cup of coffee. There are painters and then there are excellent seasoned painters. LJ only works with the latter. Along the way things have come up and if I want a change, LJ and Scott really listen to me. This project from beginning to end is top quality, LJ is particularly great at finding terrific people to do everything that needs to be done. My dream home is almost finished and from beginning to completion I have enjoyed the experience. This 100 + year old home I bought 14 years ago has been brought up to date and is tastefully and historically beautiful. This project never would have happened without Mc Creary Homes.
