Mcdonough Kitchens & Fine Carpentry is a cabinetry and remodeling company serving homeowners across the Greater Boston area since 2014. The business is run personally by Michael, who meets with clients directly from the first consultation through the final walkthrough, and its two-part name reflects what it's built around: custom kitchen cabinetry and finish carpentry. Customers who have hired the company describe custom-built kitchen cabinets, pantries and built-ins finished with close attention to detail, and several kitchen remodels are praised for clean design, sturdy craftsmanship and staying on the agreed schedule. The work extends past kitchens too: reviewers describe a full bathroom remodel, a new front-door installation, a multi-room flooring replacement (LVP in a basement and prefinished hardwood upstairs), a crown-molding repair, and antique furniture restoration including a dining table and chairs. Communication comes up again and again — reviewers describe Michael as responsive, easy to reach by text, and clear about what was done each day and what was planned next. One thing worth asking about: a 2025 review of a remodel in an older home mentioned the build running longer than expected, attributed to uneven original angles in the house rather than a scheduling problem elsewhere. Every other review on file is five stars with no documented complaints. For homeowners planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel, custom cabinetry, or general finish-carpentry work — from built-ins to furniture repair — this is a small, owner-led outfit with a consistent track record on the specifics that matter: design follow-through, tidy job sites and staying reachable mid-project.

Greatly enjoyed working with Michael McDonough for a tiny kitchen project! So thorough, patient, and excellent with communicating. I can’t think of anyone who has been more on all of those traits, which is so needed for renos etc. Highly recommend his business!! (Pictured is the trimming added, to address gap from smaller new fridge)
Mike and his team were great! We had a really short turn around window and they made it happen. They took exactly what I had in mind and made it better. It would be a pleasure to work with him and his team again, could not recommend them more.
If you're looking for great customer service and a thorough approach Mike at McDonough Kitchens and carpentry is your man. He couldn't have been more helpful and listened to everything we needed wanted and adjusted as we changed our minds.
Mike is very professional, responsive and knowledgeable. He answered all questions patiently (and we had a lot!) and worked with our needs. Respectful and supportive. We put the project on hold for personal reasons but Mike gained our trust with his professionalism. If you want to work with someone who listens to your concerns and finds solutions, Mike is the guy.
McDonough kitchen and bath put a new bathroom in my home and it came out beautifully! The entire crew was professional and took pride in their work . They were so easy to work with and took care of making sure my bathroom was exactly what I wanted !
