    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 MJ 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.

    We used MJ Whelan for a complete remodel of our first floor including our master bed and bathroom. From start to finish they were very helpful and guide you step by step the process needed to get the project completed. We had a vision of what we wanted and they turned our dream into a reality. Also, they were always on time and showed up when they said they would, which was very important to us. We are going to use them for all of our remodel needs in the future and I would highly recommend them. Everyone in the company is very nice and they feel like close friends at the end of the project.

    MJW was always at the project when it said it would be, it always did what it said it would do, and it handled any unforseen issues (which are inevitable) with tact and grace. The end result is beautiful and the project finished nearly 3 weeks ahead of schedule. It was a heck of a process, but we wouldnt change a thing.

    Have known Matt and Chris for nearly a decade now after they built our house. Enjoyed the experience so much we continued working with them on multiple projects including a commercial building. A more honest and forthright builder would be hard to find. Not only do they deliver quality, they do so with smiles and integrity.

    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. However, the location of the home was not ideal for our young family, and we were able to locate land for a new build, less than 6 months upon completion of our basement.Matt met me at our land and was enthusiastic in his interest to build our family a new home. We then embarked on the custom home build, and it could not have ended up better for us. We love each and every unique room in our home and are blessed to look forward to many years here.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.And most importantly, we have come to appreciate the people involved. MJ Whelan is such a valued and supportive member of the Milford community. They give back to many important causes and charities, thus going far above and beyond their calling of providing industry leading quality work.

    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. It has been wonderful experience working with your company.We walked into M. J. Whelan two years ago with plans in hand and a strong urge to get our home built, despite all of the challenges we faced coming out of the covid epidemic. We were met with professionalism at every stage of the process. Everything was laid out for us in detail from the first project meeting with Alex, to our many meetings with Tony, (who provided great patience and assistance when making all our home choices), to the job superintendent Chris and Abby, (who tirelessly responded to all our concerns and any problems that arose on the house with patience and kindness) and continuing with the following up work with Craig, to ensure all the “little” things were taken care of to our satisfaction.All of Whelan’s employees were courteous, polite, and kind; and ensured all the details met our satisfaction. Chris, the superintendent went beyond the project managers role. Chris and the staff listened to all our concerns and provided thoughtful solutions. He made sure everything was laid out for us in detail and we were aware of all steps in the process. Chris was always accessible by text or phone call and responded immediately. He did a great job communicating with all subcontractors and ensuring that their work and professionalism met Whelans quality standardsWe love our new home and are ecstatic that we chose M. J. Whelen to build our house. Everything was well thought out -we have no regrets with any decisions that were made. Thank you so much! We are elated that we walked into your office two years ago and met such a caring, professional, talented and creative group of people! Thank you!Jack & Cathy

    Ive hired MJ Whelan several times, from full custom home design/build to a simple entry door replacement and regardless of the size of the job, their work is absolutely meticulous. They are detailed, honest, and easy to work with (which is not the experience I have had with other contractors). Could not recommend them enough!

    Jeff and I hired Whelan to build our addition onto our house. From design through execution, Whelan listened to what we wanted and constructed beautiful new spaces for our family. Now, we have a new kitchen, laundry, storage, garage and bedroom to enjoy. And the design is seamless and compliments our existing house structure.Matt and his Whelan team are great people and work hard to make sure all milestones are met. Our on-site Manager, Chris, exceeded our expectations and communicated thoroughly throughout the project.We would highly recommend the Whelan team to others looking to remodel and add-on.

    The MJ Whelan Team did an extensive interior and exterior home renovation and addition for us. Our kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, office, guest room, and two bathrooms were gutted down to the studs. They even took the roof off. They estimated a 6 month time line, and they were right! They got us back in our home just in time for Christmas.They were great to work with from design, to selection, and even now as we’re working through the touch ups. Very responsive.We LOVE our new home! We would chose MJ Whelan again!

    We have worked with MJ Whelan on several projects. The first project was about 8 years ago when they did a complete renovation of our entire home, inside and outside. The second project was the conversion of our sun room into our dining room. We are awaiting our third project which will be a screened in porch with vaulted ceilings which will include trusses, we will also have a fireplace. We continue to be extremely pleased with the quality of their work, their honesty and dependability. Their customer services is beyond anything we have experienced before. They stand behind their work 100%. If we ever had any questions or issues, they always followed up and wouldnt leave until we were 100% satisfied. I have recommended MJ Whelan to several of my friends and family and will continue to do so. I can unequivocally highly recommend them to anyone with a building need. You wont be disappointed.

    M.J. Whelan Construction successfully completed 4 home improvement projects for our family, including finishing our basement. Once completed, our basement level was unquestionably the most grand space in our home. We could not recommend them more. You will be treated like family. Professional, courteous, experienced, and an all around joy to work with. It was like they were performing the work on their own homes.

    We are absolutely delighted with the kitchen that MJWhelan created for us, and equally importantly, we found them creative as designers and professional in their execution of the project. Greg J was our project manager, and under his management they kept to their completion time projection and stayed within budget. There was no concern or question that they did not address appropriately and promptly, and the team was accessible and available throughout the construction—I do not think that an email or phone call from one of us was not addressed within the hour. I could not recommend a builder more highly than I do MJWhelan.

    The MJ crew went above and beyond! Like gentle giants, they came to work hard. So professional, courteous and cheerful! They renovated during the worst summer weather of humidity and temps above 90s but that never distracted them. I loved their can do attitude and really helpful suggestions. Our bathroom looks so elegant, bright and beautiful and Matt and Lisa showed us how design matters. Smart planning is key even if youre in a hurry, products can be simple but very elegant. They presented just the right interior plan & all the tile choices were amazing and then executed a new bathroom space that transformed how we utilize it now and we just love it!We could never have pulled this off on our own. Thank you team What a great experience!

    Do not hesitate to use MJ Whelan!We had a mom in law addition added to our home and could not be more pleased. The workmanship is top notch. The crew was very respectful and punctual, always answering my questions with a thorough answer. The general foreman of our job was always accessible and if he didn’t answer his phone, always returned my calls promptly.Again, don’t hesitate to use MJ Whelan!

    Theyre the best of the best! Ive been in the business world 37 years and I have yet to meet a company with higher standards who are more interested in their clients welfare then their own pocketbook. I would have them build a second and third home for me. I built a stunning two story 4000 square-foot lakefront home over a 40-year-old old cottage in mediocre shape. Matt knew what we could use from the old cottage i.e. foundation and first floor walls, and his designer created a dream home! They have followed up for the past eight months on every single issue we have cited that needed attention. They have fixed everything with a joyful attitude and never once complained about coming back numerous times. This summer the landscaping will be completed and our home will be on their website. Come check it out. Good luck.

    We were incredibly satisfied building our house with Whelan. The Whelan team was extremely helpful in making the building process stress-free!

    Another Great lake Sherwood project completed. We were beyond thrilled with our exterior remodel. From design through construction this team cannot be beat. Friendly, professional, attentive, and extremely easy to deal with.Thank you M.J. Whelan!!!

    We had a great experience working with MJ Whelan throughout the building process. They listened to our needs/wants and then put the plan in place. The entire team worked together from start to finish with us to complete our dream. We couldn’t have picked a better company/team.

  • Review 19 (2017-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    Matt and his team recently finished our basement. We had a great experience all the way around. When the obligitaory project issues arose, they were handled very well in every case. The quality of workmanship we recieved was outstanding as was the communication throughhout the project. We highly recommend them.

  • Review 20 (2019-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Matt, Lisa, Chris H. and their team did an exceptional job on both the interior expansion/renovation as well as the exterior upgrade. Craig, in particular, was a godsend with his helpful and cheerful attitude during a fairly long construction process. Two thumbs up!

    When it comes to custom homes and projects, go with M.J. Whelan! Best people around, Matt and Lisa treat you like family.

    Great group of guys. Helped me when I was really down and out.

  • Review 25 (2020-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    Our experience with M.J. Whelan has been exceptional to say the least! We have found them to be a genuinely honest, innovative, and positive team who not only creates and carries out amazing designs, but does a fantastic job at incorporating our own personal style in every design. They built our home and just recently finished our basement! Each time their professionalism and positive energy made for a joyful experience! I would recommend M.J. Whelan 100 times over to anyone looking to build, renovate, or add on.I would like to add that the man who left a 1 star review was a former employee that worked in our home. I remember him as an abrasive man who had trouble completing the work he was supposed to do (or do it correctly), until he was eventually let go. Sounds like a disgruntled former employee being his same immature self.
