We have worked with The McKernon Group for several years on both large and small projects. The quality of their work is outstanding, and they stand by everything they do. You will find working with everyone on their staff to be very enjoyable. They are all courteous and professional. Most of all, you will be extremely happy with your project once it is completed! We are very happy to recommend The McKernon Group!

The McKernon Group helped us build our dream lake house. Justus, Adam, Cody and the entire team made sure our project went smoothly and had every detail covered. We highly recommend using this firm to help with projects small or large.

A renovation project including a garage and family room addition was completed with significant quality issues. Additional defects have appeared long term including a substantial crack in the foundation of the garage as well as major leaks in the breezeway roof which had to eventually be completely replaced. Also, an entire room of beadboard paneling has knot holes showing through the paint requiring an entire reprinting of two rooms.

Comment from The McKernon Group:

We were surprised to see this posting and have no record that you have contacted us. Your renovation was completed many years ago, so unfortunately our staff has no recollection of your project and had no idea there were problems. Our company has long history of quality build and customer service and we care very much about our clients.

McKernon has completed two projects for us - a screened porch and a barn addition. Kevin and his crew are a pleasure to work with before, during and after the project. With every project there are invariably some surprises and a good measure of quality in my mind is how those issues are addressed. McKernon always takes the long view in a client relationship, understanding that if you're happier after the job than when you envisioned the work, you'll come back. We'll come back.

Thank you so much for the review and the fantastic photos. We are very proud to have been part of this project.

They were the builders of our new house. Their project manager lived at the site for almost a year during the week. He was a diligent, professional and outstanding manager of the workers. It was completed on time and the attention to detail was wonderful. The company uses crews of workers with which they are familiar and work all of the time and thus the coordination and efficiency is maximized. The company was always available afterwards to deal with any issue that arose. We were very satisfied with - and proud of - the work they did in constructing our house.

Thank you so much for your review. John was very appreciative of your kind words! The photos we have of your home have allowed us to showcase our work and detail the skill of our team. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to build this beautiful home.

The McKernon Group built our lake home for us and they did a wonderful job! They were easy to work with and we are still in contact with them a few years later! I would highly recommend them!

We have a camp on a lake in NY. The property has two homes which were both in need of major repair. Our first cabin we used a local craftsman, he was good, but was not done in a timely manner and had to come back for a lot of finishes. When we decided to redo our "main" house we chose McKernon and it was the best decision we made. The builders started on time and the project was completed on date agreed upon in the contract. The site was always clean and orderly. The craftsmanship in the cabinetry was top notch. I really can't say enough for the company and employees. If I was going to build again, I would hesitate to call upon them.

Comment from The McKernon Group:

Thank you so much for your review! Also, we appreciate your comment about the cabinetry. Bob, who runs our cabinet division, is a true craftsman, and has created some stunning kitchens (and furniture) for us. We are very grateful for the team we have here at McKernon Group. Thanks for choosing us to help with your remodel.
