For years, my husband and I dreamed of redoing our finished attic space and adding dormers for our 1920's home. This dream became a reality the summer of 2019. While other companies overbid at twice our budget, John was more than happy to rise to the challenge with his creative thinking and honest communication about what to expect throughout the process. John and his team were a joy to work with -- they are professional, passionate, respectful, hard-working, full of integrity, and great communicators with timely responses. With John, you know that he has you and your family's best interest at

John and his incredible team finished our basement for us in 2019. John himself was not only a master at designing a beautiful basement for our home, but also a man of character and integrity throughout the process. You can trust that he actually cares about what you want/need as well as the quality of work that is done. His team is respectful of your home, time, and space. I appreciated their clear, concise communication, which helped keep the project on schedule and on target for cost. I will be calling them for any future remodeling needs.

I grew up in a house built by McCulloch Construction. I watched John re-imagine all three floors of my home, in addition to our back patio. Even as a young kid, I could tell his attention to detail and creative vision was something special! The fantastic quality of work aside, John has gone above and beyond in his professional relationship with us, providing friends and family with multiple employment and training opportunities. I wholeheartedly recommend his services.
