OUR HISTORY
Since 1995, McDermott Top Shop has been more than just a surface fabricator — we’ve been a trusted partner to builders, designers, dealers, and retailers across the Midwest. What began as a small family business operating out of a 1,500-square-foot airplane hangar has evolved into a premier, award-winning fabricator with a 65,000-square-foot, climate-controlled facility recognized for best-in-class safety and quality standards.
At McDermott, we believe great craftsmanship starts with great people. Our team of experienced fabricators, installers, and project specialists is dedicated to bringing your visions to life with precision, care, and a commitment to excellence. Every project, big or small, is built with the same foundation of integrity, transparency, and hard work that has guided us for three decades.
We offer one of the widest selections of natural and engineered surfacing materials available, supported by precision fabrication technologies, special cut-to-size programs, and a deep commitment to customer success. Whether it’s a residential kitchen, a retail rollout, or a large-scale commercial installation, our team is ready to deliver results you can trust.
