Contracting
We are a company of builders. By utilizing our construction knowledge honed through decades of experience at every level, we have created a general contracting process and product second to none.
Built on tradition.
Ours is a pioneering story with Irish roots, dating back to the mid-19th century. It’s a story about craftsmanship, integrity, and construction masters who started in the provincial county of Monaghan, Ireland. For more than a century, McGough family members have crafted buildings with purpose and precision.
Six generations later, now rooted in Saint Paul (Minnesota), the traditions and values that inspired the first McGough to swing a hammer are what drives The Monaghan Company.
With 22 years of construction expertise, forged on the front lines of the industry and mastered with the same original spirit of the family, Charlie McGough is proud to follow in his ancestor’s footsteps with deep respect for the family tradition and industry.
Here’s to new beginnings.

What sets us apart.
A tradition of craftsmanship
Six generations ago, the Monaghan spirit of building with purpose and integrity was born, delivering superior construction and inspired service to those who value craftsmanship. Today, we embrace that longstanding family tradition, advancing the pioneering methods of our predecessors with a modern approach to construction. This is the spirit that lives in everything we build.
A legacy of
reliability
Born from the days when buildings were built on a handshake, we embody the principles of our ancestors, staking our company on the relationships we create with our customers and our community. We embark from humble beginnings to become industry leaders through a hands-on, dedicated approach to company and project management.
A pioneering spirit of innovation
Rooted in tradition but driven to advance our craft, we innovate in a pioneering style. Our construction spirit might have been passed down through six generations, but our methods never stop evolving. Designed to deliver more for our customers, we pursue and implement cutting edge techniques with precision and care.
