The team here at River Vann Interiors has had the pleasure of partnering with McHenry Remodeling to build and install custom cabinetry for their clients, and we’ve also been lucky enough to work with them on countertop projects for our own spaces, we recommend them highly not just to our own clients but also our friends and peers. They are truly such a great company to work with! As another family-owned business, we really appreciate how organized, communicative, and dependable their whole team is from start to finish. Jaylene in the office is always wonderful to coordinate with. She communicates clearly about job details and design, gives us plenty of time to schedule our part of the project, and makes sure everything is ready before cabinetry installation. Sean, their marketing manager, is also an absolute pleasure to work with and has become one of those professional connections you are always genuinely happy to hear from and look forward to seeing again. Greg is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and just great to talk through project details with, and you can really feel the family-owned and operated nature of the business throughout the team. Their countertop work is especially impressive. They offer a huge selection and have so much skill working with quartz and granite countertops, including custom stone fabrication. We brought them a fairly wild idea for a sliding granite backsplash, and they went above and beyond to make it happen. They worked tirelessly to get it templated, fabricated, and installed quickly, and the finished result is absolutely stunning. They primarily work throughout Linn County and the Albany area, but they were also kind enough to come all the way to Salem for us, which we really appreciated. I was so impressed with the vibes the team brought to the job site. From project coordination and site preparation to custom stone fabrication, countertops, and client communication, working with McHenry has always been smooth, professional, and enjoyable. Their clients are consistently happy, and we are always excited when we get the chance to collaborate with them.

From the initial contact and quote, to final cleanup this company has done a superlative job on our house in Lincoln City. They provided a very competitive and fair price for the job, scheduled it at our convenience, came on time with a great crew, and most importantly, did a really quality job on the roof. When they left, we had a g

Ice Maker Issue
For starters I'm from Minnesota. Mikes listing came up as a local repair business. I contacted him for service. He did say he was from Albany Or. He asked me about the issue I was having and he told me what I needed to do to fix it. Even though we live in different states he was able to help me using FaceTime and a few minutes of his time. I totally recommend him for service. I wish he was local to Minnesota.
