I have worked with this company for several years now. I refer them to my clients and they have practically remodeled our entire home as well. A lot of things can go wrong with a whole home renovation depending on who you hire. They consistently knock it out of the park for us. I trust this company 100% and would HIGHLY recommend them.



Preferred Construction did a phenomenal job on a complicated renovation and addition on our house two years ago. Amazing attention to detail, precision in finishing and a construction crew that was personable, communicative and efficient.



I highly recommend Preferred Construction for any construction or remodeling project. Owner Tim Shaughnessy is one of the most honest, professional, and quality-conscious leaders you’ll meet. He leads by example and has built a team that reflects his commitment to excellence. From start to finish, Tim and his crew deliver top-tier workmanship, clear communication, and a level of integrity that’s hard to find in the industry. With Preferred Construction, you can trust that your project is in expert hands.
