John built a home for us two years ago.  You cannot find a builder who communicates better or who has more integrity.  He takes tremendous pride in his work and always does what he says he will do.  Our home was built on time and under budget.  He is the absolute best.

You know how everyone says building a home is so stressful.  I did not experience a minute of stress while building our home.  In fact, I enjoyed every phase of it.  I have never worked with a better contractor than John McDonough at Canyon Creek.  Our home came in under budget and was completed two months early.  John’s attention to detail is outstanding.  If he sees something that he does not think is working, regardless of what the plans suggest, he recommends changes that will improve the home. He has a unique sense of design and can offer feedback on that aspect as well. If there was a problem, John would handle it and I was confident whatever the issue might be, it would be fixed correctly.   He is the best!   If I had not just built my dream home,  I would build another home with him in a minute.   I recommend him HIGHLY!

We have never met a builder with more knowledge, impeccable taste and attention to detail than John McDonough and his team at Canyon Creek Custom Homes. From the moment you meet John, you realize what a honest, hard working and smart professional he is. Canyon Creek has a track record of doing amazing work, and they stand by their product long after they are done, responding to anything that needs attention to immediately. All of their subcontractors are also some of the best, and make working with Canyon Creek a dream.

I can honestly say John has been the best builder I have ever worked with. He is detail oriented and at all times has the home owners best interest. John and I discussed down to the smallest items all aspects of the project and his price was very reasonable without constant change orders. When my house was completed John did not run away like most builders, he was quick to respond to any minor changes that were needed. I would highly recommend Canyon Creek to anyone building a custom home. My house turned out better than I ever expected.

I wasn’t even in the market to buy a house when I first saw Canyon Creek’s work, but at first glance, I knew I had found my dream home. I am overwhelmed by the attention to detail and level of quality that John McDonough put into building our custom home.

In the nearly 2 years of working with John through our dream home design build, we learned to appreciate his meticulous attention to detail, and his ability to bring out the ‘A’ game of all of the contributors to the project. He is a master home builder who we cannot recommend highly enough!

Over the last few years, John and his staff at Canyon Creek have completed 2 home renovations for my wife and me, with the last experience just as exceptional as the first.  John and his team are consummate professionals.  Everything done both times was on budget and to perfection.  In addition to being extremely detail oriented, John was very creative with the designs, which complimented our homes beautifully.  Whenever an issue arose with our homes, even years after the completion of his work, John was extremely responsive and resolved the matter very quickly to our complete satisfaction.  John is the finest contractor we have ever worked with and you cannot go wrong trusting your project to John and his team at Canyon Creek Custom Homes.

Five years ago we had the most beautiful kitchen remodel done by John McDonough and his team.  It turned out perfectly, and went extremely smoothly.  So, when the house we had just purchased had a massive flood and was absolutely destroyed, there was no question as to whom we would turn to for help.  John McDonough is accomplished at building exquisite homes from scratch, so were worried that he would not be agreeable to taking on this type of restoration project. John and his team took on the project with great zest, despite burning the candle at both ends with all his projects at the time.  Throughout the process, John ensured that our house was restored carefully, under budget and on time.  In fact, we are happier with the house as it is now than when we bought it, as John offered many unique ideas that could be incorporated into the restoration process, which in effect made the house better than new.  If there were academy awards for builders, John, would no doubt win!  John is extremely fastidious in regards to making everything perfect and has a great eye for design.  All of his sub contractors are professional, courteous and reliable.  My husband and I do not hesitate to recommend John McDonough and his team at the highest level and will always be grateful for what he did for our family.
