Bill and his crew did excellent work on our bathroom and kitchen renovations, they were very dependable and cleaned up at the end of each day. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Recently, we moved into a new home in Upstate New York; a
ranch with living space on the  main floor and a full basement (which was
unfinished when we moved in). This Spring we decided to finish about half of
the basement to give us some additional living space and an  office. We
obtained bids from two local  contractors, ultimately deciding to 
have the  work done by William F. McMahon of Canandaigua, New York
(also  the town where we live). We  chose to work with Bill for
several reasons; the first being that we simply trusted him immediately. Bill
presents himself as an honest, down to earth person who just wants to do the
very best for his customers. He is all that and more. Bill worked with us on
the design for the space and guided us in making certain decisions about where
walls and doors should go, whether we could use  the existing HVAC system
or not (we could), what kind of flooring would work best, even what kind of
paint to use and how much we would need. We told him what our budget was and he
delivered a plan that hit the target, dead center!   Then he gave us
a New York State approved contract with every detail spelled out and dates for
each phase?he hit every date, spot on. This project covered just under 800 sq.
ft., and involved framing, drywall, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, insulation,
flooring, and installation of all doors, trim and fixtures. Everything Bill?s
crew and subs did was top notch; all his guys are experienced, friendly,
hard-working, and quality conscious to a T.  Everything is plumb, true and
finished beautifully. We could not have asked for more. If we were to have any
more remodeling or construction work done, Bill McMahon would be the first (and
only) contractor we would call. There is simply  not a more honest,
kind,  and capable  person in this field in this region of New York.
We would recommend Bill to anyone!

Bill and his men were professional, Prompt, and did great work. And for the quoted fee. Not knowing what this would cost, it was slightly higher that we expected, BUT, worth every dime because Bill did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it, and it looks great

Bill gave a clear, detailed estimate for the work and was very professional.  He was punctual and responsive to questions and change orders.  He had competent helpers who were also careful and trustworthy.  His work was that of a fine craftsman and he was a pleasure to work with.  We had past experiences with hiring cheaper contractors but got what we paid for so we gladly paid Bill's prices for quality work.
Response from William Mcmahon General Contractor
"[Member name removed], Thanks for the great review! It was a pleasure working with you both and was a great kitchen project. Best Regards, Bill"

I found this contractor on Angie's list and left an email on 10/21.  Been trying to fix this leak for a couple of years and unable to stop it so wanted a professional contractor to fix it this time.  Got a phone message that evening saying he would call me in the morning...and he did!

Came out that very afternoon to meet me at the house, and tested with a hose to try to replicate the leak. Of course it didn't leak while he was here, but I did find water later that evening. He quoted me $300 and proposed the following fix and I agreed. 

Sent a crew out Friday to tear out the trim to check the siding and construction done by the builder above the door.  They did find where water was getting in around the ends of the drip edge where it had not been properly taped and sealed by the builder.  They tore off the trim above and on either side of the door and taped and sealed the edges of the drip edge and down the sides so water won't get in.  Reassembled the whole thing, filled the screw holes and you'd never know it had been taken apart. I will certainly call William F McMahon the next time I need a good contractor.

I couldn't be more pleased with the work Bill and his crew completed.  They replaced my entry door unit and made all the necessary repairs in one day.  And they did it on a Saturday so I didn't have to miss work.  Bill and his crew were friendly and professional, and they approached the work carefully and thoughtfully.  No matter how many questions I asked (and I tend to ask a lot of questions), or how often I checked on their progress (I do this quite a bit too), they were patient and helpful and never made me feel like I was in the way.  I never felt they rushed to get the job done.     

From the very start of the process, I could tell I found the right person for the job.  Bill is a very experienced contractor with an eye for details.  He isn't interested in just doing the job, he is interested in doing the job right.  His background with historic preservation showed in the way he approached the work.  He replaced everything so it matched exactly what was there previously.  When the job was done, it was impossible to tell any work was completed. 

I would hire Bill again without reservation.

The deck is sturdy :) Trex has a black mold problem that can be eliminated by using a sponge brush (width of board) and Olympic deck cleaner undiluted.. Hose off...  I would like all contractors to follow up ...perhaps a few months after installation... Just ask if everything is OK... Also would like contractor to check on workers during installation... make sure that work is good quality and materials are correctly installed...

Mr. McMahon came to  my house the same day I called to  look at the problem - a roof leak after a recent storm.   I could tell he was very experienced.  He was doing an extended job for one of my neighbors.  After determining that the situation was not urgent, he scheduled the job a couple of weeks out, and called the day before to confirm.  He came on time, with two workers, and kept me informed of their progress.  Although they couldn't find a specific leak by pulling up shingles, they replaced caulk around the chimney, skylights, and vents.  He offered to return if the problem continued.  It took about half a day.  I consider this to be a small nuisance job.  I had previously tried to get a roofer I had used on another building to look at it, but he never showed.  Mr. McMahon was willing to take care of the small problem, and was very honest about what needed to be done.  Some probably would have tried to make a bigger job of it.  I would certainly use him in the future, and recommend him highly.

The owner came out to give an estimate. Called with a price the next day. We agreed to start the work and two
workers came out to do the work. We checked on their efficiency and quality of work as they were doing the job. It was done well and in a timely manner. They returned to finish the antenna when the base we had ordered arrived. We were pleased with their professionalism..

Provided competitive estimate promptly. He had two excellent guys working for him who removed old barn roof and framed and completed a new one efficiently and with skill. McMahon supervised as needed. Final aspects of job (laying shingles, gutters, and painting experienced some weather-related delays but throughout McMahon was in touch via email. Very satisfied with work!

He is very good at understanding what we wanted. He made sure we were happy with what he was doing. Brad and Wes worked with Bill on this project. They were all very helpful, professional, and highly skilled. He was very trustworthy. I would definitely recommend him to others.

The finished product is exactly what we wanted. Craftsmanship is beautiful. The only problem was that the carpenter dragged a cardboard box across our freshly-finished hardwood floor and scuffed the finish up. The scuffs are not deep, so we chose to consider it accelerated aging instead of damage!
