Come Meet Our Family – We Can’t Wait To Meet Yours!
A Talented Team of Experts
J.T. McDermott Remodeling Contractors is as dedicated to community as we are to the work we do. From the moment we opened our doors in 1993, our guiding principles have been integrity, professionalism, open communication, careful attention to a client’s needs, and a deep respect for their home. Our team approach to remodeling means we see our clients as neighbors and friends, and we want them to feel the same way about us. Through the years, our clients have put their faith and trust in us, and we never want to let them down.
This philosophy, along with our commitment to design-build excellence, has evolved into a process that is clear, direct, and practical. We want you to feel comfortable with our in-house team, never having to worry about the trustworthiness of contractors, the design process in general, or how you’ll ever make all the decisions that come with a remodeling project. We see ourselves in you: we are friends, parents, partners, creatives, hobbyists, sports fans, home chefs, animal lovers, and travel enthusiasts, too.
We’ve turned hundreds of dreams into the reality of new living spaces. Let us show you how fun, affordable, and rewarding the design-build process can be.
See Why We're Different
With our in-house design professionals, interior designer, project managers, and the talented craftsmen and women we work with, J.T. McDermott is uniquely qualified to guide you through the complex process of a home remodel or renovation project.
Every one of our enthusiastic team members is knowledgeable, courteous, and responsive to your needs. We take enormous pride in providing you with beautiful design, quality workmanship, and creative solutions that maximize the value you receive for your remodeling investment.
