Tucson’s Landscape, Your Custom Home
Arizona offers some of the most striking desert terrain in the country—and building a custom home here takes experience and insight. As trusted custom home builders in Tucson, we’ve mastered the complexities of constructing on rocky slopes, integrating natural features into the design, and framing homes around the landscape rather than fighting it.
Our homes are designed to take advantage of the sun, views, and natural airflow—making them as efficient as they are beautiful. Many of our clients come to us when they can’t find what they want on the market. We help them create it—without compromise.

LJ McCreary, his entire team, and all of the subcontractors he works with are amazing. My family had a very unfortunate and awful experience with our original contractor while building a guest house in our backyard. LJ not only stepped in and took over the job mid-work, but he did so with enormous grace, thoughtfulness, kindness, and expertise. McCreary Homes is an incredibly professional business that took the time to understand our project, our needs, and our concerns and then delivered to meet our every expectation. We are enormously grateful to McCreary Homes for what is now a beautiful guest house that brings our family much joy.

LJ McCreary built two homes for us, and remodeled a third, over a period of 25 years.He was totally involved, transparent, and never exceeded our budget by more than 10%. He is totally trustworthy, and will never leave you unprotected. A true professional.

I have worked with McCreary homes on two large projects. One was a bath , kitchen and interior remodel of my 100+ year old home. Currently a major 1000 sq ft add on to the same home is almost complete. I cannot imagine working with any other contractor. L.J. And his foreman Scott are so amazing to work with. Sitting on this porch delights me every morning with a cup of coffee. There are painters and then there are excellent seasoned painters. LJ only works with the latter. Along the way things have come up and if I want a change, LJ and Scott really listen to me. This project from beginning to end is top quality, LJ is particularly great at finding terrific people to do everything that needs to be done. This project never would have happened without McCreary Homes.
