A drying rack built into a cabinet above the sink was part of the kitchen Jimmy remodeled, according to a November 2021 Google review of McDonald Custom Carpentry, LLC. The homeowner described a full kitchen renovation and praised both the cabinet installation and his punctual arrivals. BBB identifies the business as a Worcester carpenter. Custom cabinet work also featured in a March 2022 review: a customer said Jimmy turned a living-room closet into a built-in entertainment center, made its doors by hand and painted the piece. The same account described rerouting a cable line, adding outlets, and patching and painting where old plugs had been removed. An April 2023 customer hired him to modify a base cabinet for a wall oven and said the work finished on time. Exterior repairs drew praise too. In October 2024, a homeowner described replacement of rotting and cracked siding and corner boards. They said Jimmy found ant damage and other issues during the work, addressed them, and kept the job clean. A November 2021 reviewer described siding repairs, door replacement and help fixing a roof, praising the price and punctuality. Smaller repairs appear in the older accounts as well. A November 2021 customer praised bathroom baseboard installation and a retrofitted door threshold, especially the joints and neatness.

I highly recommend McDonald Custom. Jimmy is a highly skilled professional carpenter. I had him replace numerous rotting and cracked siding and corner boards on my house. When doing so Jimmy also found ant damage and other issues. He was able to fix everything no matter what curve balls the project had. Not just carpentry but electrical as well. He was always prompt and professional. One of the cleanest contractors I have worked with. I have recommended Jimmy to a number of friends and family. He will be the first person I call when my next home project comes up.
Called to have a base cabinet modified for a wall oven and Jimmy came out as soon as he could. Job was done to perfection and work was done on time. Highly recommend!
This was my first time working with Jimmy and he did an incredible job. He transformed a closet in our living room into a custom, built-in cabinet/entertainment center. He re-routed our cable line, included new outlets in the cabinet, and hand painted the entire piece. He also removed old plugs where the tv used to be and patched & painted them. Our new cabinet is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship and meticulous detail and care he put into it is just outstanding. Did I mention he built the entire thing and added custom doors that he built by hand? Couldn’t recommend Jimmy enough. Will definitely be working with him again in the future.
100% Recommend! Jim is not only a talented craftsman he's a great guy! Did an emergency call for me the other night. He arrived quickly and fixed the issue in less than 30 minutes! He is reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and fair. Look no further hire Jim!
Jim did a great job repairing and replacing siding. He also helped me replace some doors and fix my roof. He does quality work at a reasonable price. He was always punctual and professional. I highly recommend him for any carpentry, repairs or remodeling jobs.
