Celebrating 43+ Years of Service to Central Illinois
1977
Menold Construction and Restoration began as a full-time enterprise in September of 1977, doing business at that time as Tom Menold Masonry. Most of the work performed at that time was brick, block and stone work on new residences. During these times, Tom handled the accounting, bookkeeping and estimating from his home, and worked as the foreman on most projects. Equipment was stored nearby on the Menold family farm.
1980
High interest rates caused the home building boom of the 1970s to end abruptly, and with it the need for new residential masonry work. A need did exist for skilled masonry tuckpointing, repair and restoration work on commercial and institutional buildings, which became the main focus of our masonry business for a number of years. Commercial and residential roofing was begun in 1982, and was developed into a good source of work. During those years almost all of the business was derived from some type of repair, restoration or replacement work.
1987
More services were added as time went on. Several customers encouraged us to handle their entire projects, and the Company started doing general contracting work. Remodeling, repair and restoration remained important sources of work, but some new home construction work was again added to the mix.
1988
Menold Construction changed from a sole proprietorship to a professionally managed and incorporated business.
1989
Professional estimating and project management staff members were added along with key field personnel. A commercial warehouse was leased on South Main Street in Morton. An increasing number of new construction projects were completed. Over the years, these included homes, motels, mausoleums, funeral homes, airplane hangars, office buildings and others.
1990
The Menold Construction office was moved to 1050 W. Jefferson St. in Morton. The Company completed its first fire restoration project.
1993
Steve Driscoll, currently a company owner and Vice President, joined the Company. Steve was instrumental in forming the Restoration Division of Menold Construction, Inc. Menold Restoration now provides full-service disaster mitigation, reconstruction and cleaning services for homes, businesses and institutional buildings damaged by fire, water, storms and mold.
2004
Tom Menold and Steve Driscoll purchased the former Tazewell Publishing Building at Detroit and Jefferson Streets in Morton. After extensive renovations, all of the Menold Construction and Restoration operations were consolidated at this location. Menold became the anchor tenant in the new mixed-use business facility.
2007
Menold Construction and Restoration now completes over 600 projects per year. After 30 years of service to Central Illinois, Menold remains committed to growth and strength through the continuous improvement in the value and service we provide to our customers, employees and communities in which we serve.

Absolutely not!
Jeff 2.
The water removal was great the work to finish carpentry from there was very poorly done in fact I finished because they didn’t come back for three months
Review in Bloomington, IL
After several months of missed deadlines and subpar work Menolds just walked away from my project
Adam 2.
The mitigation was good but they ordered the wrong materials for the doors and trim. It’s been over a year and the basement is still not put back together. They have been nearly silent on getting it resolved.
Review in Chillicothe, IL
Everyone I dealt with at Menold was courteous, professional and provided quality work.
Deb 2.
They were outstanding from the first night of clean up to the last day of renovation.
Joel 2.
Menold provided all of the information about what processes would be taken prior to starting the remodel.
Jane 2.
Professional team, great communication, great attention to detail, easy to work with!
Gary 2.
The staff and workers were friendly and respectful. Yes, we had to wait a long time for some services to get done, but in all fairness it was during Covid!
Jeff 2.
The work that was done was excellent, but the communication was very poor with the company. Repeated un-returned phone calls to check status.

Once the project started, I was very happy with how it looked. It looked very professional. I had my basement done. It made it look bigger because of the color they chose. The Project Manager Christian was very professional. I appreciated how he kept me updated. It was nice to be able to text him to let him know the different things that came up. It did take a long time to get started initially. I'm not sure why. It took a year for the project to be completed. Christian was really good at getting back to me. I couldn't get a hold of the first Project Manager Jason. I had to eventually ask for a different Project Manager since it took so long for the project to start. I submitted my claim in September 2020. My project was completed two weeks ago which was November 15, 2021.

DID A GREAT JOB
F.B.C.
Menold took the time to hear about the problem, detailed how the process would go and despite a tight schedule, Menold responded to the request for an inspection the very next morning. After another company performed the air qualilty testing, Menold came back out to complete their estimations the very next day so they could get us a proper quote. Quote was provided in a timely manner. And again, despite a backlog of work, Menold was able to work us into the schedule to get the work completed in a prompt and timely fashion, so we could get our pastor and his family back into the parsonage. Jeremy at Menold provided informed and professional details of the process and was available by text and email to answer our questions within a 24-hour period. All good communication and experience the whole way through.

This is our 3d Menold experience. Each one has been excellent, but they keep getting better i.e. more organized, more coordinated, but still oriented to the homeowner, still very thorough and well-done, and the key person was the Field Superintendent although each team leader was outstanding.
Review in Creve Coeur, IL
From day 1 to the end of the project the crews from Menold were polite, professional, friendly and efficient.
K.&.P.
They always kept me informed on the status of my job and were very attentive.

Christian and the team of professionals at Menolds did their best to keep our Kitchen restoration moving forward. He was patient and knowledgeable regarding what needed to happen. Thanks everyone for your hard work. The results are great!
Ron 2.
Menold was quick to respond to our needs for safety, and to limit further damage due to an emergency situation within our home. Following the initial call, an assessment of the problem, and plans for solving the problem and expanding the project were made by using the expertise of Menold employees and technology.

Review of DHI Roofing by Jerri P.
This was the best experience I've ever had working with any type of contractors. Highly recommend them, especially Joel!
Review of Menold Construction and Restoration by Linda S.
I do not recommend Menold Construction & Restoration to do repairs as they cut corners. It took several tries to repair the roof and things got wet inside because it wasn't repaired. The insulation got wet and they just plastered over the wet, putting the drywall up on the ceiling over the wet inst... more
