MJ Whelan is simply the best. Our story with Matt, Lisa, and the team began with a full basement remodel at our previous home. They did a phenomenal job on the project, providing what became our favorite space in a beautiful home. I would recommend MJ Whelan for many reasons… quality work, clear communication, problem solving, in-house architectural planning (huge advantage), unique and custom design, etc. I could go on and on.

–Chris W

We have been in our new home for over a year and we couldn’t be happier. We want to thank Matt and Lisa Whelan and the entire M.J. Whelan Team for making the entire home building experience a positive and pleasant one.

All of Whelan’s employees were courteous, polite, and kind; and ensured all the details met our satisfaction.

We love our new home and are ecstatic that we chose M.J. Whelan to build our house. Everything was well thought out -we have no regrets with any decisions that were made.

–Jack & Cathy P

When we first met with M.J. Whelan we had an unfinished problem project on our hands. They took over and made our vision of a beautiful sunroom a reality. Honesty, reliability, fairness and integrity are a few words that describe our experience working with M.J. Whelan. This might seem a bit superlative, but it’s all true…the M.J. Whelan team are all those things. We are so pleased with the overall quality we encouraged our daughter and son-in-law to hire M.J. Whelan to build their new home.
