Client Testimonial:
“…As this project has just been completed, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, your entire staff, and particularly your Project Superintendent, Gregg Tutor, for your diligent oversight and capable direction in completing this project….. During the thirteen month course of this project, there were several instances which changes to the plans were required. I would like to point out that the superintendent would typically bring these discrepancies to the attention to the Architect in a timely and professional manner, so as to always keep the job running smoothly. Your superintendent was proactive and dedicated to the coordination of all trades on the site and as such, I believe we have a well constructed consolidated rental car facility that the entire community will benefit from for years to come.
In summary, I would like to thank you personally for the dedication you have allowed your staff to provide in the construction of this project. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with your company.”

Client Testimonial:
“For the last 2 years I have had the opportunity to work with the McCarthy Companies in the construction of the new 60 California project. We had the opportunity to select from several well known construction companies in Ventura and LA County. McCarthy Companies consistently impressed us with their planning and financial acumen early in the process. It was a pleasure working with the McCarthy Companies to build our 19,427 SF four-story mixed use commercial building in downtown Ventura. This building was the first Four-Story Mixed-Use Retail/Restaurant/Office Building approved and built in downtown Ventura in over 50 years. The building features elegant architectural design with clean lines and smooth finishes that blend in well with the Ventura aesthetic. It includes an elaborate 6’x15’ tile mural in the front lobby, a history of Ventura, 2nd floor pedestrian bridge, 4th floor balcony with ocean views and a light-show in the tower. McCarthy “walks the talk”. Honest, reliable, flexible and fair. Characteristics of any one or Company that I would want to work with.”
