Mike McVey Renovations

My experience with Mike and his assistant Julian has been by far the best I’ve ever had with any contractors. They have done beautiful work with meticulous attention to detail, have been straight forward about costs and seem to genuinely care about doing a good job. They were incredibly careful in my home and diligent about cleaning up each evening.
I have already engaged them for additional projects and would highly recommend them.

Recently I was looking to put six Skylights into the roof of my Montclair house. I’d talked to all sorts of people and frankly prices were all over the place. I think mostly because it was primarily a roofing job. Our roofs 1 in 12 with a torch down roof over plywood, insulation foam and then the exposed rafters/​beams inside. In other words Mid century contemporary.
I’d done my research. I needed or wanted Velux FCM skylights with trays for solar blinds etc. 3 different sizes used. They require a simple frame mounting on the roof, hole cut through and then making sure the roof won’t leak.
Mike came out listened, did some research and got WestCo Roofing involved. He’d done work with them before. I talked to their representative when he came out to quote the job. I got honest details from WestCo and Mike. It was clear to me that Mike would help oversea the job and do all the inside finishing work on completion.
I then purchased all the Skylights and Mike helped out by picking them up, and delivering them to the house while I was away. He confirmed and arranged timing for the roofing and interior work to then fit with my schedule. He arrived with the roofers on the morning we were to begin cutting holes. We both made sure that WestCo was going to make sure they got cut the right way and were on the right track. I felt comfortable watching over them after that. All of us double checked the details a few times.
It took WestCo two days to install and seal up the outside. Mike then came inside and completed the trimming and finishing work. As always on a job like this… it needs to be made up a little as it goes along. Each one is similar but a custom fit. The final result looks like the original architect intended and the impact is transformative.
In the overall realm of things this wasn’t a big project. For Mike it was really two days work and some running around Similarly, two days for the roofing crew. In the end I feel like I got both good value for my investment in my housing upgrade and I’ve found someone that I’m likely to work with again.

I spoke to this guy for about 30 minutes about finding and repairing failures on stucco homes and was extremely impressed with his commitment to quality and proper research and repair work. He is located in Oakland, CA. He is definitely a five star guy in the general construction field.
