McCarthy Construction

McCarthy Construction is a general contractor based in Amherst, New Hampshire, run by owner Tucker McCarthy, who the company says stays on-site through each job. The business states it was founded in 2018 and serves homeowners across Northeastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, handling work from home additions and new construction to kitchen and bathroom remodels. Reviewers describe a wide range of completed projects. In a 2025 review, a homeowner said the company built a 3-bedroom vacation home from the ground up in New Hampshire's Lakes Region, finishing on schedule and on budget. Another 2025 review described a kitchen remodel praised for attention to detail and a clean job site, and a Bedford, NH realtor's 2025 review says she has repeatedly referred clients to the company for renovations. A repeat client running a house-flipping business says in a 2025 review that it has used McCarthy for full rehabs and quick repairs for years. Across several reviews spanning 2025 and 2026, customers single out Tucker McCarthy personally for explaining scope in detail, returning calls and emails quickly, and once showing up the same night for an emergency. Not every account is positive. In a 2026 review, a homeowner said a bathroom the company completed about two years earlier had tile falling off the wall and lifting from the floor, and that when they called about it, McCarthy came back but did not fix the underlying problem. Separately, a 2025 review of an addition project — otherwise positive — noted the work ran longer than the original estimate. New Hampshire does not operate a statewide license or registration for general contractors, so there is no state registry check to report for this trade. Homeowners planning a larger project — an addition, remodel, or new build — should ask directly about the timeline built into the estimate and how the company handles a defect that surfaces after the job is finished, given the one detailed account of unresolved tile work.
