## About

McDonald Contracting was a company started many years back by Phil McDonald, the grandfather of current company manager Ed McDonald.  The company had been on a long hiatus.  However, after graduating from Assumption College, Ed decided to bring the company back.

Ed’s vision is to return the company to its prior status as one of the top contracting companies in the Greater Boston area.  He has put together a group of hard-working, efficient, responsible employees that will help him restore the company to its former level of prosperity.

Ed and the rest of his employees are working hard every day, taking it one project at a time in order to achieve Ed’s vision for the company.  Let McDonald Contracting tackle any of your household projects, and you won’t be disappointed!

**★★★★★ — Thomas, Aug. 2026**

> Joseph did a great job on my trim project- there were a lot of challenges, but he definitely put in more effort and care than expected, arriving on time every day, communicating well, and finishing under the estimate $$ I was very impressed with his work, skills, and timeliness! Recommend!

**★★★★★ — MArtin Kane, May 2026**

> "We recently hired MacDonald Contracting to build a three season room and attached deck, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the design phase to the final walkthrough, their professionalism and expertise were unmatched. The craftsmanship is incredible—the screen tension is perfect, the deck boards are beautifully laid, and they seamlessly blended the new structure with our house. They kept the worksite clean and organized every single day. Communication with Jamie the Project Manager was stellar; he kept us updated and addressed all our questions immediately. The project was completed on schedule. We now have a beautiful new living space, and I highly recommend Ed for any outdoor renovation!
