Donnie Fuller Contracting comes with an unusual split verdict: the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ letter grade, but its written customer history elsewhere describes some of the most severe complaints around — an average of 1 out of 5 stars across four BuildZoom reviews written between 2017 and 2019. The business is based in Middleton, Massachusetts, and the BBB lists it as operating for 38 years out of three Massachusetts locations, working primarily on additions, kitchens, baths, basements, siding, decks, painting and roofing. The BuildZoom reviews are specific enough to weigh seriously. In a 2017 review, a Beverly homeowner said the company took a permit to replace a roof but skipped the permits required for the electrical and structural work needed to convert a breezeway into a winterized room — work a building inspector reportedly found in violation on multiple counts, leaving a new exterior door that won't lock. A second 2017 reviewer in Dracut said the crew wasn't licensed for plumbing and damaged existing basement plumbing, and that calling the owner about it ended with him hanging up mid-call. A 2018 review describes a shed whose doors were too heavy for their hardware and warped, with no follow-up repair offered; a 2019 review says complaints about the work were met with profanity. A separate, undated post on a contractor-review site describes the same pattern elsewhere — labor costs running close to double the original quote. Licensing is similarly split: BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts construction supervisor license (CS-100279) for the company alongside four separate home improvement contractor registration numbers, all shown as inactive. There's no written account more recent than 2019 to say whether anything has changed since — the company's Houzz profile, for one, has no reviews at all. Given how specific and consistent the older complaints are, this is a business worth vetting carefully before signing anything: ask for recent references, get a written scope with permits spelled out for any electrical, structural or plumbing work, and confirm licenses directly with the town rather than relying on the BBB grade alone.
“Beware! Got burned by Donnie Fuller Contracting. Labor costs exceeded initial proposal by almost 100%.”
My experience was the same as many of the other reviews of this unprofessional company. I wish I read the reviews before hiring them. Their work is amateur at best. They do not have skilled tradesman on their crew. I was charged for materials that they did not use and they left my house in worse shape than before they came! I had to hire another contractor to clean up their mess and make everything right. Like other reviewers have said - when I called the owner to talk about the poor quality work he just became combative and assailed me with profanities. Steer clear of this company or you will regret it.
he built me a shed with doors that are too heavy for the hardware, they are warping. complaining since day 2 sent a worker out who cut the bottom of the door, a week later sent another who would not touch the door alone. he does not stand by his work and will not come out to repair it. sleeze ball con. DO NOT let him on your property
Please DO NOT hire this contractor....I repeat DO NOT hire this company to do any work at your house or business. We had a VERY negative experience with shoddy work performance and lack of completion. They do NOT have licensed plumbers on their staff and they damaged my existing plumbing in my basement without any resolution. Once I called the owner Donnie Fuller over the phone to voice my concern about their job, Donnie became very combative with me using vulgar language with many expletives and would not allow me to speak. Donnie then abruptly hung up the phone on me. We were very unsatisfied with their workmanship and overall lack of professionalism. It was a VERY negative experience and we would not recommend this company to anybody moving forward....Buyer beware.
I contracted with Donnie Fuller Contracting to replace a roof and to turn my breezeway into a winterized room. He took a building permit on the roof but failed to take out required permits for multiple jobs (electric, structural) to rehab the room. The local Building Inspector was kind enough to come to my house and see for himself the number of code violations Fuller left behind! This job was left unfinished. The very expensive new door which Fuller Contracting installed will NOT lock and the screen will NOT latch. Therefore, my house is NOT secure with this new door. Fuller says if I want it fixed I need to pay him more to repair his own installation work! The costs of labor and estimates of time needed to complete the whole project fell far short of reality...you expect that you may end up paying an extra 15% over an estimate, but 100% over is just poor estimating or deliberate bait and switch. I'm not talking hundreds , I'm talking thousands here. I would NOT recommend this company and will file a report with Better Business Bureau and the MA Licensing Board and consumer protection agencies. I will now take him to court to recoup my losses. Buyer Beware! He will (loudly) threaten to sue you if you don't want to pay before the repairs to HIS work are done. I will hire someone else to fix this (and I will put a second coat on the ceiling and clean up the sawdust off every surface and thing in my garage and paint 2 coats of semi-gloss on the trim and continue to pick up scores of nails left around my house from the roof job he did and hire competent tradesmen to repair door, electrical, exterior holes and code violations) Buyer beware!
