Testimonials

Tom and his competent staff guided us through a successful kitchen addition. They brought great ideas to the table that enhanced the architect’s design. They were professional, safe, courteous, and considerate to the fact that my family need to live in the house while they performed a major kitchen addition. The job came in on budget and on schedule. Great job to Tom, Chris, Meryl, Pierre, and all the fantastic subcontractors that worked on the job.

Menard Construction did a basement remodel project for us 2 years ago. Their professionalism is second to none. What I liked best was Tom’s creative ideas for the space. We were not sure how to handle certain aspects and with Tom’s help we made a room that the whole family loves, complete with a ventless gas fireplace which has been awesome. Prompt, clean, professional. A go-to guy for future projects.

- Chris, Mountain Lakes

Hired Menard Construction to renovate the Boonton Opera House which was originally built in 1850. Renovation included demolition and rebuilding of the stage, excavation and rebuilding of a new floor under the stage , demolition and rebuilding of new entrance ways for the front and back of the building. Very experienced and knowledgeable and provided me with good options and alternatives throughout the process. They worked well with my architect and coordinated well with all the subcontractors.

- Pat, Boonton

Menard Construction did a major renovation on our home. They added a level, put on a new exterior to match the historical architecture in our town, and updated electrical, plumbing, and A/C. The price initially quoted was competitive and very close to the final costs paid. They came in with a realistic timeline and had a great project manager, Chris, who took care of all issues that came up and made the project run smoothly. I would highly recommend using Menard Construction.

- Mary, Mountain Lakes

When our oceanfront home was badly damaged by Sandy, I turned to Menard Construction to assess the damage, help me plan the needed repairs, and to perform the construction. Like many houses in the area, our home needed plumbing, electrical, roofing, mechanical, structural, exterior and interior repairs, and finishing. Tom Menard and his team have been building and renovating high quality homes for decades both at the Jersey shore and in Northern New Jersey.

- Jim, Mantoloking

An extremely challenging basement project was executed to perfection by Tom Menard of Menard Construction. Together with his professional team, Tom proved why Menard is such a respected name in Mountain Lakes construction and remodeling. Engineering excellence, precision craftsmanship, and professional project management transformed my inoperable basement into a prized entertainment area. I would recommend Menard Construction for your next project and will gladly serve as a reference.

- Werner, Mountain Lakes

Menard Construction built our home in 2010, and we have continued to work with them to finish our 3rd floor in 2011 and our basement in 2013. Their work is of the highest standard. Their employees and all of the subcontractors are respectful and clean up after themselves. We completely trust Tom and have found working with him to be a very positive experience.

- Bonny, Boonton

We hired Menard construction to work with our designer on our basement remodel. Their attention to detail was excellent and they were on time and budget (except for a few small electrical additions). Very professional and high quality work.

- Diana, Mountain Lakes

Very knowledgable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. They completed a whole house renovation 4 years ago, and I still get compliments on the beautiful job that Menard Construction did. A few months ago, we rehired them to finish our basement. Another successful project. I can’t wait to hire them again!

- Lorraine, Mountain Lakes

Tom Menard and his team of skilled craftsmen have completed several home renovation projects for me, all of which were completed to the exact standards that they had promised. This is an excellent contractor that does exceptional work.

- Mark, Mountain Lakes

As an architect, Tom and I have worked together and have had many satisfied clients, including the ones on Crestview Road and Lookout Road in his portfolio. He is one of the premier contractors in North Jersey because of his experience and professional attention to each project regardless of size.

- Lawrence Korinda, Architect

Menard Construction has completed several projects in my home: renovation of my master bath, as well as finishing the third floor of my home and converting a storage room into an additional bedroom. The work on both projects was excellent, and the staff was both courteous and neat.

- Bonnie, Mountain Lakes

We had a terrific experience with Menard Construction, from the early planning stages to the completion of our new home. Tom, Chris, and the rest of the crew were courteous and professional. They communicated well and finished our new home on time and on budget. We are thrilled with the end product.

- John, Point Pleasant

Working with Menard construction was a pleasure. We now have a beautiful home that looks as good at a year and a half as it did on day 1. Tom and his people were very responsive to all our concerns and questions.

- Karen, Mountain Lakes

Tom Menard and his team provided an extremely positive construction experience for us. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none. The initial proposal was delivered swiftly and somehow seemed to land smack-in-the-middle of the median estimates that we’d been seeing across multiple bids. Tom in particular has a rare calming quality during brainstorming sessions – whereby he made us feel as though “everything was going to be ok,” while cross-referencing photos and number-crunching from assorted other remodeling projects that MCC Inc had handled for similar projects. Meaning; that they seem to have executed so many projects over the last 2 decades, that their experience and savvy in the field enables them to operate from a much more well-informed knowledge base. Home improvements (as we all know) can be a stressful venture and we really enjoyed how he and his crew worked with us to get the project completed under deadline whilst keeping true to our aesthetic vision. We strongly recommend MENARD CONSTRUCTION CO. Inc. (Caution not to confuse them with a similarly named company in CT.)

- Bill, Mountain Lakes

I hired Menard construction after Superstorm Sandy for the restoration of damage to my beachfront home in NJ. I knew that Menard Construction had a reputation for high quality and service inland in NJ and a history of quality development projects in the local shore area. Tom Menard personally oversaw the work and his team and sub-contractors performed high quality work on time, slightly below budget and in a very professional manner. That time period was difficult – even getting access to the area to assess damage, move in materials and restore basic functions such as power, water, etc. Menard Construction personnel helped me to do all that as I was not able to live in the home at the time – this included coordination of inspections, meeting the municipal service providers to restore utilities, meeting the CAFRA and commercial insurance inspectors (who were many hours late and not easy to deal with) and also recommending the best materials, fixes and replacements within our budget. They helped not only to restore the home, but to make it better than it was before – including finishing touches like moving furniture back in place, hanging curtains and touching up areas that were not under the original work scope without charge to conform them. I had expected high quality workmanship based on their previous work in the area and in central NJ, but was not expecting the level of service they provided – truly above and beyond – as if it was their own home. The home is very important to our family and they seemed to really understand that in our time of need and do all the little (and big) things, on time and below budget. A++ for service and professionalism at a time when the last thing our family needed is to battle a contractor over issues while we were battling everything else that was dealt to us. I would recommend them highly and without reservation for people who truly care about their home, whether for repair, remodel or new build.

- Joseph, Mantoloking

I have used Menard Construction for multiple projects. They renovated my home, and did a total gut job and full reconstruction of a building that we purchased as an office for my business. Both were complicated and big jobs. We were very happy with the end product and Tom worked within our budget. Tom, his project managers, and his workers are all very conscientious about quality of their work. They seemed to take pride in the satisfaction of their customer. We had previously worked with a few contractors/subs that oversold and under-preformed. That was not the case with Menard Construction. They are responsive to inquiries, personable, and fair. I will use them again on any future work we need done.

- Michael, Mountain Lakes

Menard Construction’s experienced team and high quality subcontractors treated my home like their own. They helped me navigate through inspections and paperwork to get my utilities restored and then turned to rebuilding our house, which they did on budget and ahead of schedule. By Memorial Day weekend, our family had our home back and looking the same (better actually) than before the storm. From the heavy construction to re-hanging of curtains before we moved back in, Menard Construction’s attention to detail, workmanship, and personal touch was outstanding. I’m glad they were there for our family and recommend them for any family who truly loves their home at the shore.

- Bob, Bay Head

It’s been several months since we moved into our beautiful lakefront home in Mountain Lakes. We couldn’t be happier with the brand new house. The home is truly a credit to the very professional and efficient team that makes up Menard Construction. Being new immigrants, we were very careful when it came to pick the right builder for our very first home in this country. We had six bids from different contractors all over the county. Throughout the bidding process, Menard construction was the only one consistently showing us a high level of service in addition to their reasonable quotes. Till today we are still very glad we made the right choice by having Tom Menard and his team build our house. The construction process was also very smooth, which allowed us to move into the house only 8 months after we signed the contract. Despite the tight schedule, Menard Construction managed to complete the project on time without compromising the quality of their work. The quality of workmanship inside and out of the house is far above others in the business. It is largely because Menard carefully picked some reliable and trustworthy vendors, making the entire process a hassle free experience for us. We strongly recommend Menard Construction to others and certainly we will work with Menard again.

- Yvonne and Peter, Mountain Lakes

When we looked around for builders to construct our custom home, Menard Construction stood out above all others in the bid process. Our home took almost 2 years to design with our architect, so we wanted to be certain that we were selecting a builder who could deliver on the quality that we expected. Menard Construction did not disappoint. Tom Menard and his project manager were always available to make sure that we stayed on schedule, and their attention to detail even exceeded our expectations. Menard Construction’s reliable team built our home as if they were building it for a family member, and they even stayed on budget, which is unheard of for other construction companies. When visitors come into our home for the first time they always comment on the quality craftsmanship, and we ALWAYS recommend Menard Construction to anyone looking to renovate their home, or begin new construction.

- Richard, Mountain Lakes

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how pleased we are with the project to date. The original timeline was completely accurate and we have been so happy with all the artisans that have been working on the project. Last week Devon came over to make some change to the drywall and had I not seen him leaving, I would have never known he was in the house. Everyone has been so respectfully to us and our home which has made the project go smoothly. Constantine is a pleasure and is doing a great job prepping for the tile.
