McCray & Sons Home Services

A Family Legacy Built on Craft, Care, and Community

In a world dominated by mega-corporations and impersonal service, McCray & Sons Home Services shines as a rare blend of family values, hands-on professionalism, and deep-rooted community commitment. Formerly known as McCray’s Handyman, Inc., this Sacramento-based company has grown into a trusted name—delivering old-school craftsmanship through modern systems built for transparency, efficiency, and peace of mind.

At the helm are husband-and-wife team Warren and Jennifer McCray, celebrating over 20 years of marriage and a shared vision that’s blossomed into a multigenerational success story. With Warren’s roots as a fourth-generation tradesman from West Sacramento and their son Mason now representing the fifth, McCray & Sons isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy in motion.

“We started this so we could be present for our children and grandchildren,” says Jennifer. “Family, community, and integrity are at the core of everything we do.”

From Humble Beginnings to Full-Service Excellence

The story began in 2017 when Jennifer, with a background in sales and dispatch, teamed up with Warren, a skilled plumber and handyman. She handled operations and scheduling while he worked directly with clients in the field.

Their sweet spot? The often-overlooked middle ground. In California, handymen can’t legally take on jobs over $1,000—yet many licensed contractors won’t consider anything under $10,000.

“We’re a licensed contractor with a low minimum,” Warren explains. “Whether it’s installing an appliance, fixing dry rot, or redoing a floor—we show up.”

Built-In Systems. Built-In Trust.

Customer satisfaction is baked into every part of the process. From the first contact, McCray & Sons opens a digital project file, logging every message, estimate, image, and update. Estimates are detailed, transparent, and include photos and clear terms. Scheduling is efficient, walkthroughs are standard, and projects don’t wrap without a final sign-off.

“Clients deserve to know exactly what’s happening, start to finish,” says Jennifer. “And we stay in touch even after the job is done.”

Every Project Starts with Listening

Before a single tool is lifted, the team takes time to understand the full picture: the client’s goals, timeline, budget, and lifestyle. In-person consultations, measurements, and written contracts ensure there are no surprises—just thoughtful planning and clear communication.

“Every home tells a story,” says Jennifer. “Our job is to listen, then deliver results that are both practical and personal.”

Trends Shaping Sacramento Homes

McCray & Sons is at the forefront of local trends, especially aging in place. Homeowners are proactively adding ADA-compliant upgrades—like handrails, ramps, grab bars, ADA-height toilets, and walk-in showers.

In lighting and electrical, LED downlighting is popular for its blend of elegance and energy efficiency. In plumbing, more families are requesting tankless water heaters, smart plumbing, and whole-house filtration systems to prioritize health and water quality.

Advice for Homeowners Feeling Overwhelmed

Warren and Jennifer offer practical steps for homeowners just getting started:

  1. Start with a Vision.
    Focus on the function and feeling you want—before worrying about blueprints.

  2. Prioritize Wisely.
    Create “must-have” and “nice-to-have” lists to manage scope and costs.

  3. Budget Realistically.
    Expect the unexpected—leave financial room for surprises.

  4. Hire Smart.
    Don’t just shop price. Look for professionalism, responsiveness,  and reviews. Ask:

    • Did they show up on time?

    • Are they licensed,  bonded, and insured?

    • Do they return your calls?

  1. And never pay more than 10% down—it’s the legal limit in California. Also, ask to be added as an additional insured on their policy.

The Heart of a Homegrown Business

At its core, McCray & Sons Home Services is more than a company. It’s a family story—powered by trust, built on skill, and anchored in genuine human connection.

With Jennifer managing operations, Warren leading in the field, and son Mason now stepping in, this is a business that treats every project with the care it deserves.

“We treat every home like it’s our own,” says Jennifer. “And every client like family.”
