Donahue construction did an excellent job with planning and executing our project to minimize down time! Very kind, cover flooring, and use boot covers to keep your house clean. 10/10 We’ll be working with them again on the future.
Nick is a reliable, meticulous, and conscientious contractor that you can trust with any job big or small. We found Nick through a recommendation from our plumber. He was one of the most reasonably priced contractors we spoke with and we actually first used him to put railings onto our outside stairs. We loved his work so much that we had him come back to renovate our kitchen which was a complete gut job. He did everything right and focused on every detail, even finding a small area of black mold in our insulation and handling the remediation. Even with the multiple snowstorms, he always kept us updated with the plan and even worked some Saturdays to make up for it. We would recommend Nick to everyone and will definitely have him do work at our home again.
We absolutely love our new living room. Nick with Donahue Construction literally transformed the space into something so cozy and beautiful. We are overjoyed with the outcome. He was professional, organized, communicative, and answered all of Questions and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. We couldn’t be more happy with our new space. Thank you Nick!
Highly recommend Donahue Construction . Nicholas was amazing to work with, customer service is top notch and his craftsmanship and attention to detail are unmatched. He completed a custom fireplace surround for us and we couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product. Already hoping to book him for some future projects. Wish there was 10 stars to give because his work definitely deserves it.
We honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Nick and Donahue Construction. He is honest, great communication, good work ethic, has great ideas, and he is really a perfectionist! I am floored by his talent at such a young age, and the service he has provided us. From day one he has communicated with us about his plan, always got back to us when we had questions or concerns. Never left us feeling unsure and that alone is worth its weight in gold. His talent and skill set is unmatched.
I attached some pictures. We had a slider and a deck installed off of our dining room, where a previous window was. We have a large patio with (previously) no access to our outdoor space. Nick did a phenomenal job. It looks absolutely perfect!
As he was finishing up his job with the decking, I actually saw him out there with a magic eraser cleaning up the few handprints that may have transferred onto the white railings. Like wow- who does that?! His attention to detail is superb!
He is coming back to do more work for us in a few weeks and I am so relieved to know that I can trust him and not only is his work solid, he is a good person and that speaks volumes. Thank you Nick!! You’re awesome!
