McDonald Contracting, LLC

We had an excellent experience working with McDonald Contracting from start to finish.They built new cabinets and a beautiful bar area, created a custom closet and bench, and also added new electrical outlets and light fixtures throughout our space. The entire process was seamless and professional — communication was clear, timelines were respected, and everything was handled with care. Most importantly, the craftsmanship was truly outstanding. Every detail feels intentional and high-quality, and the finished work exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a contractor who is reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, I can’t recommend McDonald Contracting enough.

I've used McDonald Contracting for the past few years for snow removal. The team really goes above and beyond - Ed always texts to see if I need snow removal, and sends a team out in a timely manner. The teams are excellent - efficient, effective, and they do a much better job of clearing snow than I could ever do. I plan to continue working with McDonald Contracting now and in the future.

McDonald Contracting did a major renovation for us - 2nd floor gut renovation, addition of two rooms, plus exterior insulation and re-siding of the entire house. While it took a little longer than expected, it turned out great. We've been very happy with the results. We really appreciated the transparency in their pricing quote which was reasonable given the scope of our project. They are very friendly, easy to work with, and their plumbing, electrical, and tiling subs do high quality work.

Like I said, big project. From the outset, they made us far more comfortable than any other contractor we talked to, in large part due to Ed McDonald making sure the quote was comprehensive such that we knew every element of what would need to happen. There were a few hiccups along the way, which I think is inevitable for a project of this scope, but at the end of everything we have a

We used McDonald Contracting several months ago to do a major remodel to a 150 year old house in Melrose. It was a very complicated project. Steal beams had to be installed to support some of the sections of the house. McDonald had to work with our architect and structural engineers to figure how to get the beam in place. There were months of other planning and meetings with Ed McDonald and our architect to figure out the logistics of the entire project. At first meeting Ed I was a little nervous because he’s such a young man and throughout the job there were some misunderstanding and time delays but one major take away was Ed’s level headedness. I can be a tough person to deal with having been a lisensed electrician since 2004. I know a little about the industry and worked on residential
