Report
We chose McDonald Remodeling for their focus on design. They were knowledgeable and supportive during our project to completely redesign the layout of our kitchen and main floor. The design team listened carefully to our ideas. They encouraged maintaining some original elements and the midcentury feel of the home. The team communicated well throughout the planning and construction. The end result far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend McDonald Remodeling.

We LOVED McDonald Remodeling for so many reasons.
1. Stayed on schedule. Our whole-house reno took seven weeks (it is a very small house) and we moved back in the day they said we would be able to. They were never off more than a day and when they were, they caught up on the weekend.
2. Quality. Its second to none. There is nothing that was done half way. Every inch of our home feels like brand new, when not every inch was replaced (i.e. doors, door knobs, wood paneling).
3. Communication. They were SO communicative throughout the entire process. Our project manager was AWESOMEfriendly
