Verified record
W McKay Construction LLC presents as a finish-carpentry and remodeling contractor whose work has ranged from a full master-bath reconstruction to exterior projects and kitchen remodels. Houzz names William McKay and William McKay III and describes almost 20 years of experience, eight project galleries, and service across the Merrimack Valley and North Shore. BuildZoom lists eight permitted projects, mostly valued around $34,000 to $55,000. The written customer history is positive but old: all three BuildZoom reviews date to 2016 or 2017. In a 2016 account, a repeat customer described a $17,000 master-bath reconstruction completed in 28 days, with plumbing moved and finish work called out favorably. Another 2016 exterior-project customer praised quality, responsiveness, and project consultation, but also reported cigarette butts, bottles, and sawdust left at the work site. Confirm the current business address and registrations before hiring. Houzz places the company in North Andover, BuildZoom lists Rowley, and Procore lists 18 Academy Avenue in Haverhill; Houzz and Procore do agree on phone number 978-891-2303. BuildZoom lists home-improvement registration 179265 as not independently verified and also inactive or cancelled, while Houzz separately lists self-reported HIC, CSL, and OSHA-10 credentials. This looks most relevant for finish carpentry and renovation work where detailed interior construction matters. Ask for recent references and photos from a comparable job, verify the current registration directly, and confirm the operating address and cleanup expectations in writing.

Verified Hire, exteriors project. Overall quality of work, responsiveness, and project consultation was excellent. Bill and his people were very responsive, available, and helpful with questions and suggestions. Only area with room for improvement was cleanliness of the work site. Too often found cigarette butts, water bottles, and coffee cups in various places around the work area as well as wood scraps and saw dust strewn about. A big pet peeve for me! However, I wouldn't hesitate to refer them or use them again based on my overall experience.
Bathroom Remodel, $17,000, 28 days. I've had Bill do multiple projects for me, most recently a total master bathroom reconstruction (moved all the plumbing). He gave me a fair quote inclusive of some things I did not consider. Bill, with his many years of experience, gave us some great ideas, most of them we used, and the finished work looks great. You can tell with any of his work that he excels at the finish work...anyone can bang in a 2x4, but not may can get corner molding to fit perfectly.... Fair price, quality work, clean, responsive "he'll call you back", done on time. Would and have recommended him to others.
