Verified record
McKinnon Painting & Carpentry is a Boston-area general contractor that says it's family-owned, handling kitchen and bathroom remodels, custom carpentry, interior and exterior painting, decks and outdoor living spaces, and roofing. Reviewers going back to 2021 consistently name Jeff and Rob directly, describing them as responsive, detail-oriented, and willing to take over jobs left unfinished by other contractors. Jobs described range from full basement and kitchen renovations to smaller carpentry repairs like stair refinishing, custom shelving, and deck rebuilds. A 2023 one-star review said the company disputed the review as spam and described a mismatch between who the customer met with and who ran the job — worth asking about given how strongly the rest of the reviews read.
I couldn’t be happier with the work they did! everything was completed with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. The team was professional, punctual, and kept the workspace clean throughout the entire project. The final result exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality work.
We needed custom shelving and some woodwork for extra storage, and the team did a great job. They listened to what we wanted, gave helpful suggestions, and made everything fit perfectly. The work was clean, professional, and finished on time. Very happy with the results and would gladly use them again.
Jeff was recommended through a community network when we were having challenges with a different GC for a home renovation project (finishing third level) and considering replacing the prior GC. Jeff stepped in to take over from the prior contractor, and from the moment he was engaged, Jeff was communicative and helpful, keeping us in the loop on progress and scheduling. Jeff listened to understand our vision and intention for the space, but was also not afraid to offer suggestions from his own experience to help achieve the best outcome. With our whole family, including two young children, living in the home while the project was ongoing, Jeff, Rob, and the rest of the team were conscientious of our space, cleaning up every day and coordinating with us for the more disruptive portions of the work. Overall, Jeff did everything in his power to make an awkward transition as smooth as possible and left us feeling like we had a collaborator and partner for our project; we are glad we transitioned to him to finish out the project, and we will certainly look his way for any future projects in our home.
our place needed custom shelving and woodwork for storage and our experience with them was all good cuz they listened and made it fit right and this carpentry service felt REALLY GOOD.
my dad needed deck repair and refinishing to make it safe again and this service handled it great tho boards were rough at first and the carpentry service made it look WONDERFUL.
