We had some siding that needed to be fixed (due to a different contractor building next door that damaged it). We were under a time constraint. We contacted Tim and he had it fixed within the week. Tim and everyone else at McCreedy Ruth has always been more than accommodating.

This company did a fantastic job transforming my kitchen, living room and dining room. They knocked down walls, added wood flooring and matched existing wood floors, refaced my fireplace, totally remodeled the kitchen to give it a more open look. Katy, the designer, also made decision making so much easier, efficient and fun. I could not be happier with the process and end results. They did a great job of staying on budget and time. I would highly recommend them.

We had a water leak around a window/roof of our home. We were referred to Mccreedy-Ruth by an acquaintance and couldnt have been happier. They quoted me what they thought it would take to repair. They were able to save most of the existing materials and ended up billing for about half of the quote. Honest people and great work! You really cant hope for any better than that.

Initially, I was concerned that it wouldn't be possible for the suite to be completed by then, but the McCreedy and Ruth team was very organized and stayed on schedule the entire time. In fact, we even decided to add a few features along the way and those were also completed on time. Kevin and his crew were easy to work with, trustworthy, and meticulous about their work. The team helped us choose durable
