--- title: "O'Donnell Bros" description: "O'Donnell Bros says it has been providing greater Bristol and Central Connecticut with residential and commercial remodeling since 1975, and lists roofing," doc_version: "2026-10-19" last_updated: "2026-10-19" --- # O'Donnell Bros **Trade:** Roofing · **Address:** 17 Divinity St, Bristol, CT 06010 · **Phone:** (860) 589-5155 · **Website:** http://www.odonnellbros.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 4 reviews across 7 sources. ## The honest read O'Donnell Bros says it has been providing greater Bristol and Central Connecticut with residential and commercial remodeling since 1975, and lists roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and downspouts as its specialties. A bristolpress.com piece ran under the headline "50 years of 'Bobby O': O’Donnell Bros. owner has no plans to slow down." A recent Google customer with a Cape that was hot upstairs filled out the company's online form, and Bobby sent an email within the hour. That customer said Bobby came by on a Saturday and explained how the house was improperly ventilated. A 2023 Google customer said Bob and his crew did their roof and made sure everything was cleaned up at the end of the job. A 2022 customer said the company came to look at the windows in their apartment and took the numbers it needed, then called to say it did not have employees to do the job. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+, and it holds a 4.3-star average from 6 Google ratings. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0542454, as active, held by O'DONNELL BROS INC. **Strengths:** - A quick reply — a recent customer got an email within the hour - Roof job cleanup — a 2023 customer said everything was cleaned up after **Concerns:** - A dropped window job — a 2022 customer said it lacked employees to do it ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says it has served greater Bristol and Central Connecticut with residential and commercial remodeling since 1975 _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.odonnellbros.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Since 1975, O'Donnell Bros has been providing greater Bristol and Central Connecticut with residential and …” - Lists roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and downspouts as its specialties _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.odonnellbros.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Since 1975, O'Donnell Bros has been providing greater Bristol and Central Connecticut with residential and …” - A bristolpress.com piece profiled the owner, 'Bobby O', at 50 years _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://www.bristolpress.com/news/50-years-of-bobby-o-o-donnell-bros-owner-has-no-plans-to-slow-down/article_21d11f21-f889-4ffe-95c3-fc40762727b9.html) — “bristolpress.com — 50 years of 'Bobby O': O’Donnell Bros. owner has no plans to slow down” - A recent customer got an email from Bobby within the hour, and he came by and explained how the house was improperly ventilated _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21GUlYyZFhNWE5UZURoWWJUaG9VRFJNTldwVlJHYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xa981c0fedb4421c7!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmFRV2dXMXNTeDhYbThoUDRMNWpVRGc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ My Cape is brutally hot upstairs.
