McMahon Services

What McMahon Services does

McMahon Services & Construction Corp is a family-owned restoration and general contracting firm headquartered in Hainesville, Lake County, Illinois, serving residential and commercial customers across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Founded in 1954 in Mundelein, Illinois, the company has operated continuously for over 70 years under family ownership and offers a vertically integrated service portfolio spanning fire and smoke damage restoration, water and sewage damage restoration, mold remediation, emergency plumbing, roofing and siding, hoarding cleanup, air duct and carpet cleaning, commercial restoration, and full-scope reconstruction and remodeling. The business holds Preferred General Contractor status with five major insurance carriers — USAA, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Farmers Insurance, and Allstate — which serve as its primary referral channels for insurance-driven restoration work.

The company's core operating model is project-based professional services delivery: emergency response is available 24/7 with a 30–60 minute crew dispatch window, IICRC-certified technicians handle mitigation and cleanup, and a licensed in-house construction team performs the rebuild phase, eliminating handoffs to subcontractors. Pricing is per-project after a free inspection, with insurance claim processing handled directly with carriers on the customer's behalf. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the business relies on conventional phone-based intake, website quote requests, and insurance-carrier referrals as its primary demand channels, supplemented by a 231-page content blog, location-specific SEO pages across 35+ municipalities, and an organic social presence on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.

Revenue streams include one-time emergency restoration jobs (fire, water, mold, sewage, storm), one-time construction and remodeling projects (roofing, siding, additions, renovations), and recurring or one-time maintenance services (air duct and carpet cleaning). The customer base is highly fragmented across individual homeowners and small commercial property owners, with the insurance carriers functioning as anchor referral partners rather than direct paying customers. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, no funding history, and no M&A activity in the source data.
