“From the very start of this project, the Michael Donahue Builders staff demonstrated superior communication and relationship skills, workmanship, project management, flexibility and integrity.
“Our home is the result of a great team effort…”
This was a big project that Michael Donahue Builders delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. They did a masterful job in managing our expectations with a straight forward timeline and regular status calls, pacing our decision making tasks so that we weren’t overwhelmed or rushed. And their hands-on approach - including scheduling and attending vendor meetings - really helped the process run smoothly. Open to our ideas and input throughout every phase of the project, it was clear that they wanted us to be happy with our home.
As they say, ‘trust is earned’ and Michael Donahue Builders earned our trust every step of the way. The quality of their workmanship and their commitment allowed us to proceed with confidence. We are so glad we did! We could not be happier with the breathtaking results, nor could we thank Michael Donahue Builders enough for making the whole experience enjoyable, creative, and fun.”

“This was our first new construction project. We realized early on that we definitely made the right decision when we chose Michael Donahue Builders, and that we were working with someone who wanted to make this a great shared project.
“We are very proud of the dream home that Michael Donahue Builders built for us...”
From day one Michael had our – and our home’s – best interest in mind, striving for the optimal outcome – which is exactly what we got. His team worked tirelessly to make everything on our wish list happen.”

“Not only did you give us close personal attention, but you also managed the project flawlessly. You obviously have a great team of loyal and qualified sub-contractors who work to your high standards. The work site was always neat, the quality of all the construction and finish work was first rate, and the whole project never veered from the original schedule.
“No other builder provides the level of personal attention and good ideas you have given us...”
Most importantly, you have actually given us more value than we expected by adding many extra features on your own, and by making numerous last minute changes without any fuss. Our friends and family constantly rave about our new home, and passers-by regularly stop to comment.”

“Our 16-year old beach house’s renovation included additional sleeping spaces, additional bathrooms and a total renovation to both the interior and exterior of the home – including the installation of an elevator to service the garage.
“Bottom line... we love our ‘new’ home.”
Michael Donahue Builders’ unique ability to manage a construction job site was unsurpassed, even as we were vacationing on the other side of the country. Our builder and his team more than ably handled all the issues that typically arise on a job site, and throughout the process, we saw ourselves as a part of the Michael Donahue Builders team. All and any comments or suggestions from us would be considered and often implemented.
In a matter of mere months, the house was nearing completion and we were so pleased with the work and the quality of subcontractors that Michael had engaged, as well as the fine work of his project manager and his kind and highly organized office manager – everyone was wonderful.”

We were very impressed with the creative approach Mr. Donahue and his staff applied to our project. They were able to anticipate problems and questions, and when issues arose about specific materials or aspects of the design, they provided various solutions, which were often better than the original design. Indeed, they managed the project in ways that were cost-effective and which allowed us to keep design features that would have otherwise pushed us over budget.
“The completed project far exceeded our expectations...”
The craftmanship, care and overall professionalism were superior on all levels... We cannot emphasize enough the attention that was given, the efficiency and quality of the work and the superior problem solving skills that Michael Donahue Builders applied to the construction of our cottage.”
