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.

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

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!

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.

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.
