C.D. Donahue & Son is a third-generation, family-owned general contracting company based in Lexington, Massachusetts, and says it has been in business since 1948. The company describes work on historic-home restoration and preservation, fine carpentry, large-scale remodeling, renovations, additions, and new homes, with a stated example of a kitchen renovation in Dover. The available customer account is positive but limited. In an undated BBB review, John & Lisa M. said that friends pointed them to C.D. Donahue and Son when a bathroom leak damaged the kitchen, indicating local word-of-mouth for home-building or renovation help. A 2023 LinkedIn spotlight also describes the firm as family-owned and operating since 1948. Before booking, ask how the proposed scope compares with the company’s historic-restoration and remodeling focus, and confirm the project schedule, written scope, and current references for work like yours. The website presents a family-operated company with a long stated history; it is a plausible fit for owners planning substantial renovations, additions, or careful work on older homes, provided the details are confirmed directly.
“Family-owned and operated contractors since 1948, C. D. Donahue & Son specializes in “making the old look new, the new look better, and the better look best.””
When water started leaking from our 2nd floor bathroom into the kitchen, we were in a panic. A few calls to our friends seeking help, all pointed to CD Donahue and Son contractors.
