EXCELLENT Based on 58 reviews Erin Elizabeth Franklin2025-06-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend McDonald Construction. Jeff has a solid team possessing various talents, and they were able to bring my vision to life. The attention to detail is outstanding and as a result our new built in bookcase is beautiful. I look forward to Jeff and his team finishing our basement in a few months! Katherine Gaynor2025-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted McDonald Construction to repair a leak in our mudroom and build a custom built-in bench as a drop zone for our home. We have been so pleased by the quality of craftsmanship and customer service of the entire crew! Our leaky door had caused significant damage to the subfloor and they were able to make all repairs and salvage the vinyl flooring in the process. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and plan to hire them again for future projects! Excellent experience all around! Jim Mayer2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Jeff McDonald at McDonald Construction and Design. We hired them to finish our basement and they did a fantastic job! Everyone on the team was super professional and highly skilled, especially Rob, Billy and O'Neil. I'm already planning to hire them for additional work in the future. James Lanne2025-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his team did a great job for us. He did the little details right and made us feel like we were getting exactly what we wanted. The project was done on time and in our budget. This was our first larger scale project with McDonald construction and would use them again. Josiah Simpson2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Solid Craft, Reliable Contractor As a new homeowner in the Capital Region without many local contacts, I relied on online reviews to find a contractor—and I feel incredibly lucky that I chose McDonald Construction and Design. Jeff, the owner, is a great communicator with deep building knowledge, and his supervisor, Ed, has an eye for detail and problem-solving. Together with their skilled team, they handled every challenge my 110-year-old craftsman home threw at them. I designed my kitchen and bathroom layout, and from the first walkthrough, Jeff gave me clear insight into how the project would come together. He provided a timely estimate and worked with my wife and me to schedule the job before the birth of our first child. Even when unexpected issues arose behind the walls, Jeff and Ed kept the project moving and delivered on time. The quality of work speaks for itself, and their pricing was fair. My budget went over by 11% due to my selection of higher quality cabinets and necessary additions, but it was well worth it. If you need a contractor who delivers craftsmanship, reliability, and great communication, I highly recommend McDonald Construction and Design. Nicole DiBari2025-02-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work done! Jeff was extremely responsive, cooperative, and reasonable. Andy did our tiling and does beautiful work. He removed the mess the last contractor made, smoothed our walls, and replaced our tile. It looks stunning. He was very personable, accommodating, and a pleasure to be around. If you need anything in your house, do not hesitate to call McDonald! They are the best contractors we have ever dealt with! Joe Johnson2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. McDonald Construction tiled my bathroom and did a excellent job. Clean, neat, efficient and attention to detail. MaryAnne Waltz2024-12-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend McDonald Construction highly enough. From my first meeting with Jeff to the last day of clean up, I was extremely pleased with my interactions with him and his crew. My projects were a master bath remodel and a kitchen upgrade (counters, backsplash, sink, faucet, paint). During our initial meeting, Jeff was very helpful and made several suggestions to improve the projects, based on his experience. The crew was meticulous in their work, and the outcome shows. They kept disruption of my life and home at a minimum, kept me informed of their progress, checked with me if there were any questions. Their work turned out even better than I had imagined. I would give them 6 stars if that were an option! Sarah Ahmed2024-12-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff and his team transformed my outdoor living space. They renovated my deck and the path around the house, which previously was in significant disrepair and unsafe. Jeff took the time to understand my interests, requirements of the HoA, and conducted quality control personally of all of the work throughout. My deck renovation presented some challenging limitations and he came up with a great solution that yielded a beautiful outdoor space. Similarly, the concrete path around the house was damaged significantly by water and the roots of a large dying tree over years. His team removed the remaining roots, and redirected the gutter downspout to avoid these issues damaging the path in future. His team, and partners, are professional, punctual, and considerate. They cleaned and organized the work area at the end of each day, even hosing down the side of the house, front door and porch, and door mat after completing the paver installation. Given the complexity of both halves of the project and timing, we broke the project into two phases, but it was well worth the wait to get both the deck and path done right, in the end. It was a pleasure working with Jeff and his team and I couldn't recommend them enough. Kyle Ellis2024-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff and his team did a great job on our bathroom renovation. Very communicative and helpful with any questions or thoughts. Would definitely recommend
