Verified record
T.A. MacDonald Carpentry & Painting is a family-owned business in Plymouth, Massachusetts, run by owner Timothy MacDonald. Better Business Bureau accredits it with an A+ grade and lists it at 30 years in business, and it also carries a CAPS certification for aging-in-place work. Its BBB listing covers carpentry, painting, windows, siding, skylights, and roof installation. The written reviews on file date to 2007: one customer praised the work and said MacDonald suggested ways to save money, and another said they were hiring him for more jobs and recommending him to neighbors. Its BBB page also highlights a review praising a clapboard and fascia repair and paint job. HomeAdvisor's listing for the business currently shows a banner marking the pro as under review. Its own directory pages also disagree on how long it's been operating — Angi's highlights badge says 30 years, while its own About-us text says more than ten.
