About

A family of builders. Three generations deep.

McElroy Construction was started by Forrest McElroy with one simple promise: do honest work, charge fair rates, and treat every house like it was your own.

His son Matt grew up on Forrest's job sites — sweeping sawdust as a kid, swinging a hammer as a teenager, running crews as a young man. Today, the two of them lead every project together.

We're small on purpose. That means the McElroys are on your job — not a sub-contracted stranger. It means you can call and actually reach the person doing the work. And it means three decades of repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals.

How we work

A simple, transparent process.

  1. 01
    We listen
    You tell us what's going on. We ask questions. No pressure.
  2. 02
    We walk the job
    Free in-person assessment. We measure, photograph, and discuss options.
  3. 03
    We write it up
    Clear, itemized estimate — materials, labor, timeline, all on one page.
  4. 04
    We build it
    Owner-led crew. Daily updates. Clean site. We don't disappear mid-job.
  5. 05
    We stand behind it
    If something's off after we leave, we come back. Simple as that.
