Drohan Development, LLC

I would strongly caution anyone considering hiring this contractor. We hired him for an attached 2 car garage addition and ADU. We are a year into what should have been a 6-month project. Since receiving the final milestone payment, we have had months of frustration due to a complete lack of communication, missed deadlines, and subquality workmanship. There were extended periods--sometimes weeks at a time--when no work was being performed, and no proactive communication was provided regarding delays or next steps. The quality of work completed by several subcontractors was disappointing and frequently required correction. We were left to supervise the subcontractors and check the quality of work, Jake was rarely if ever on site. We were often left to clean up after the subcontractors left a mess and/or broke things during their work. When legitimate concerns were raised about workmanship, instead of addressing the issues professionally, Jake became defensive, dismissive, and at times openly hostile. Rather than taking responsibility for deficiencies, he frequently attempted to shift blame, minimize concerns, or suggest that the problems being identified were not real issues. The experience felt more like being gaslit than having concerns addressed by a professional. Customer service was virtually nonexistent throughout the project. Phone calls and messages often went unanswered or flippant excuses "it's been a busy/hectic week". I was left constantly chasing updates and seeking explanations for delays that should have been communicated proactively. A contractor's value is measured not only by the finished product but also by professionalism, accountability, communication, and respect for the customer. Unfortunately, this contractor failed on all counts. The combination of poor workmanship, chronic delays, lack of communication, and hostile responses to reasonable questions made this one of the worst experiences I have had with a home improvement professional. We are a year into a project that should've taken 6 months I would not hire this contractor again and cannot recommend him to others.

Working with Drohan Development has been one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences we’ve ever had with a contractor in our 30+ years. We made a grave mistake selecting Drohan for a two-story addition, a new deck and to do several bathroom and bedroom renovations. A project that was supposed to take 6–8 months has dragged on for well over a year with endless delays, poor communication, and shoddy project management. They disappeared for months at a time. We’ve had to chase them down for basic updates, and their customer service is nonexistent. And we’ve had to supervise their subs because they don’t. You’re also screwed if you need electrical work done…if you can even get them to show up, a minimum of 30 days between visits AND sloppy work (breaker boxes aren’t accurate and plugs are tripping). The latest is Drohan has ghosted us for 50 days and it would’ve been longer had WE not reached out to them. A project that started in October 2023 drags on. To make matters worse, the quality of the work continues to reveal more issues as time goes on. And, they take zero ownership or apologize for anything that goes wrong. Save yourself the stress as this has been a nightmare. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, quality or remotely customer-focused builder. They deserve ZERO stars. Proceed at your own risk.

I would highly recommend Drohan Development for any of your home improvement needs. In 2021, we just had an addition put on our house in Marshfield. Jake and Jesse guided us through the entire project from the permit process to the final inspection. We love our new addition with two extra bedrooms and one-half bathroom- this gives us so much extra room. The guys were very easy to communicate with. They answered every call and answered every question we had. I would highly recommend Drohan Development.

We used Drohan Development this summer to replace our wood siding with Hardie Board and we’re so glad we chose them! Jake was so good with quick communication, everything stayed right on schedule, meticulous work and most importantly really reasonable pricing. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat!
