We show up when we say we will, and we clean up before we leave.

John McLean started the company in 2010 with one truck. Today we have project managers, superintendents and our own carpenters on staff, and most of our work still comes from referrals.

Every job gets one project manager. You get a written schedule before we start and a progress update with photos every week until we're done.

How we run every job

These rules apply to a bathroom remodel and a new office building alike.

Safety comes first

Every field employee has OSHA training, and we hold a safety talk on every site each week.

Fixed prices

You get a line-item estimate. If the scope changes, you see a written change order before any work is done.

Written schedules

We plan the schedule around your move-in or opening date and send a progress report every week.

Our own crews

Our employees do the framing, concrete and finish carpentry. We don't hand that work to whoever is free that week.

Written warranty

Every project comes with a written workmanship warranty. If something isn't right, call us and we'll fix it.

Materials that hold up

We choose materials for how they will perform in twenty years, not only for how they look on move-in day.

How a project works

  1. Step 1

    Site visit

    We meet you at the property, look at what you have and talk through budget and timing. There is no charge.

  2. Step 2

    Estimate

    Once the scope is settled, we send you a detailed proposal with a fixed price.

  3. Step 3

    Construction

    Your project manager runs the job, schedules the trades and sends you photos every week.

  4. Step 4

    Walkthrough

    We walk the finished job with you, complete the punch list and hand over your warranty and manuals.

What our clients say

“McLean built our house on budget and two weeks early. Our project manager sent photos every Friday and answered our questions the same day. We'd build with them again.”
RT Rebecca Thornton Homeowner, Carmel, IN
“We had to open our new office on a fixed date, and the McLean team planned the whole job around it. The site was clean and they kept us informed. Our patients walked into a finished building on day one.”
MD Marcus Delgado Owner, Delgado Dental Group
“Our house was built in the 1920s and needed a lot of work. McLean's carpenters matched trim we thought we'd never find. It looks original, just in better shape.”
PA Patricia & Alan Greer Homeowners, Baltimore, MD
“I've managed a lot of contractors, and McLean is one of the best I've seen on safety and paperwork. Their closeout package was the most complete I've received.”
DT David T. Young Facilities Director
“As an architect, I want a builder who reads the drawings, asks questions early and respects the design. McLean does all of that, and their pricing is easy to follow.”
AW Angela Whitfield Architect, Whitfield Studio
