Description of Work
I used McKay services to install some new kitchen cabinets. They quoted me a price if $600. When thy arrived they increased the priced by $200. 00. He said it was based on the work load . I agreed in the new price an they started working. The process should have taken 1 day, but it took them 3days. They were extremely slow on day one. Day two, they did not show up to work and day three they called to reschedule for the following week. Of, course I terminated their services on day three. This company sucks and I would not recommend them to anyone.

We have never done work for this person - apparently has the wrong contractor. We have never done any work in Pleasant Grove.

Our job was a CHALLENGE which Mr. McKay handled professionally and wonderfully. The rear of our home is off the slope of a mountain so re-engineering the sketchily built sunroom and decks was a major concern and HUGE project. We no longer worry that the back of our house is going to fall off the mountain and take the rest of the house with it. Not only was the slope a challenge, but the original body of the house was built in 1915, so fitting the new into the old raised it's own set of problems. Again, Mr. McKay and his team handled it beautifully from blending the new wood flooring with the original to matching an arched opening in the living room to make the new entrance into the gallery look like it was there from the beginning and, of course, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing issues, as well. Could not have asked for a better job to have been done. It is fabulous to see your plan come out even better than you imagined. Mr. McKay was also very responsive to our thoughts and ideas, often going the extra mile to work out details for us, like the cove lighting we did all along the sunroom and gallery which added so much to the look and to the nighttime ambiance of the space, creating a soft lighting source which doesn't interfere with the view of the city lights. We worked with an architect who, several years previously, had drawn a master plan for us for this home (This was Phase II of that plan and we wish we had worked with Mr. McKay for Phase I) and a structural engineer because of the slope. Mr. McKay worked with both of them really well. All of the sub-contractors and Mr. McKay's team were very competent and a pleasure to work with. Mr. McKay was also very conscientious about protecting our grand old oak from construction damage which was another of our big concerns. Dos and Don'ts: Do use Mr. McKay if you want a job super well done. Do make all the changes to the space being remodeled at the time of the remodel. We chose to not change out a couple of existing windows while we were doing the work to save a little money. Getting ready to call Mr. McKay to see about getting them replaced now. Would have been so much easier and less expensive to do it at the time of the big project. Two caveats, which have nothing to do with the quality of the work Mr. McKay did, but which would have helped if I'd done them: 1.Think about the esthetic look of supports and foundations, I envisioned the tops of all of the steel beam footings to be at the same height, but didn't articulate that to Mr. McKay or the structural engineer, so the tops all of the footings are differing heights which makes landscaping a challenge. 2. Make sure any dimensional changes are remeasured by everyone involved - architect, engineer, and contractor. We added a foot of depth to the deck, but forgot to inform the engineer so he could make the appropriate changes on his design. It didn't change the structural integrity, but again, the esthetics of the footings are not as I envisioned. Truly cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Mr. McKay. Would work with him again in a heartbeat.

The contractor arrived and provided an estimate on the date and time originally agreed upon over the phone. We obtained three estimates for the work. We chose McKay Building Inc based on the three estimates as well as our previous experiences with McKay for other projects that we have used them for over many years. The contractor’s team began work on the date that we agreed upon. As the work progressed, we were pleased with the work ethic and experience of the workers. The team leader consulted with us several occasions while the work was ongoing and the team leader was completely open with us discussing the ongoing project with him. The project was completed on time, at the price we agreed upon, and our home and property was cleaned-up as expected. A+.
Description of Work
The contractor spray-washed our three stories home, the deck, the patio, and the entire driveway. The contractor removed old paint, repaired any damaged wood, and caulked the house. The contractor primed and painted the complete exterior of our three stories home with updated color paint. Additionally, the contractor primed and painted our second story deck with an updated color of a special paint specifically for a deck.

Bob McKay did a great job. He hires competent subcontractors. All phases of this major remodel were done professionally. We met with the architect, tile person, electrician, plumber and floor refinishers to go over details. Mr. McKay kept us informed every step of the way. There was never a time when work wasn't being done; there were no delays or idle time. We were and still are extremely pleased with the work done and the way Mr. McKay handled the job. The McKays are honest, dependable people who can be trusted to provide superior results.

Description of Work
We requested a quote from Mr. McKay on a remodeling job. He was very punctual and nice but did not seem interested in our job. He gave us an estimate that was over twice what we had been quoted just from the top of his head without studying the plans, so I don't think he wanted to do the work. His prices seem out of line with other builders/remodelers in the area.

First off, it took almost a week and four or five calls to get an appointment scheduled. Then,when Bob came out, he was brusque and snippy the whole time he was in my home. I really got the impression that he didn't want my business and was trying to get rid of me. While in my home, he didn't take any measurements or any notes. When I asked him for a quote, I was told that I would have to pay him $2000 for a full kitchen design before he would give me a quote. When I asked for a ballpark, he tossed out a number that was $50-70,000 higher than any of the other quotes I received. If he didn't want my business, he certainly got what he wanted as a result of his behavior.

I had been dealing with Bob McKay for about 8 years, and his work was as genuine as he was. He did great work for me and a lot of it. He covered the furniture and everything before he started painting. He also did great work on our bathroom and kitchen. Everything turned out great.
Description of Work
McKay painted our home inside and out and installed a new shower stall, shower heads, and sliding glass doors. They also removed and replaced our kitchen cabinets and put ceramic tile in our kitchen.

McKay Building Company knew everything there was to know about remodeling. I have a beautiful kitchen thanks to them. They tore out our stuff and cleared the way for my new kitchen and it was done in a very professional manner. I know have two kitchens that were beautiful and everything worked just fine. They were a great company and very trustworthy.

We had gotten several estimates and McKay Building Was not the cheapest but they seemed to guarantee a better sunroom. The materials they used were higher quality and the workers were highly experienced. When they came out her the only thing on their mind was completing the sunroom. I didn t mind spending the extra money to have them build our sunroom. I didn t want to give out the price.
Description of Work
They built our 500 square foot sunroom addition.
