If your dreams are ready, so are we. In your luxury custom home, you want to achieve quality, uniqueness and to live beautifully. Perhaps the home of your dreams is a clear picture that you see in your mind, or maybe it’s just a concept wrapped in warm feelings, waiting to be sketched on a drawing board. At M.J. Whelan, we understand. Some of the finest homes we build come from the heart of our customers.

As proud as we are of our award-winning homes, we are even more proud of how these homes reflect the wishes and expectations of our clients. Not only is your home our reputation, it is a statement of who we are. Let us partner with you in the life-changing experience of designing and building your new custom home. Bring us your dream, M.J. Whelan is ready.

​Are you already in love with the home you’re in and your location, but want to discover how form and functionality can transform your current house into your dream home? At M.J. Whelan, our award-winning designs and renovations of existing homes have made us stand out in our industry. When it comes to breathing new life into well-loved homes, nobody does it better. 

Our on-staff creative design team will determine the most favorable flow of your home, matched to your family’s lifestyle, and create the space that unlocks hidden grace and style. We love to recreate old homes using classic and modern architecture, and timeless design principles. It could be a gorgeous new facade with a second-story addition or an entirely new floor plan, a beautiful kitchen, or a master suite. We will always maximize views of the beautiful lake, pond, woods, or landscape and at the same time blend your addition or renovation to look like it was a part of the original home. Whatever your renovation needs are, we would love to transform your existing home.

The kitchen attracts everyone — the family chefs, friends and relatives, snackers, cookie monsters. It’s your home’s high-traffic zone, a busy place where you want efficiency and style. Modern kitchen designs build comfort and satisfaction into the primary function of food preparation, but there’s much more that you should expect. You want innovation in floor plans, countertops and backsplashes, appliances, walk-in pantries, work islands, lighting, color schemes. 

Within each style is the awareness that this is a unique living space, not just for cooking. This room will welcome guests for entertaining, gather family and friends together, invite kids to do homework, offer a retreat for paying bills or just hanging out. It’s the heart of the home, and it will serve you for years to come as a place where nice things happen.

It will no longer be just the basement. We promise. It will be a warm and lovely living area where the cold, drab spaces have vanished. At M.J.Whelan, finished basements are one of our design and planning specialties. Our design goal: function with distinction. Our innovations will precisely serve the priorities of your lifestyle. Maybe this includes a second kitchen for large family gatherings, a bar for hosting friends, a fireplace, an office, a space for busy kids to play or do homework, a bath, a bedroom or a luxury home theater with state of the art technology. It will be a whole new realm of comfort and style for your life, but it will no longer be just the basement.

Innovative, one-of-a-kind projects and inspirational craftsmanship are the unprecedented elements that have set M.J. Whelan apart in the industry. Combining our creative design with original ideas in new homes and whole house renovations have won us many awards and accolades. One of the great joys and appreciations for M.J. Whelan is designing and building unique and unrivaled designs to fit our clients’ unique personalities, passions and lifestyles.

Some of our leading-edge design projects include open post and beam timbers on a porch, great room, or library. The presentation of our timelessly handcrafted, exposed beams with a tongue and groove vaulted ceiling exudes warmth, character, and distinctive architecture that are unparalleled. Whether you are inclined to a massive, natural stone fireplace with a custom mantle, or a sliding, rustic barn door to your study, our exceptional design team and craftsmen can create the atmosphere in your home you desire.
