We are very satisfied with the work that McDonald Remodeling performed for us! We met with Amy at the Remodeler’s show and requested an in person meeting. We met with McDonald and two other remodelers for preliminary bids. We had a large scope of work in mind and felt that McDonald set themselves apart from the others with their focus on schedule and planning of the materials and subcontractors. That along with Amy being great to work with in both suggesting ideas and listening to our needs. Our job was a main floor remodel where we flipped our kitchen and dining room spaces, converted a fireplace to gas with new stone surround, and remodeled a guest bath. These changes required removal of a wall and addition of load beams plus significant changes to plumbing, HVAC, and electrical. The design process took 7 months and was very detailed. We didn’t appreciate the level of detail taken until we the work began. The job completed in 3.5 months on the day that the original schedule was set. McDonald clearly understands the planning, design, and build process. The execution of the project was flawless and we had workers on site nearly every work day moving the project forward. We were living in the home during the remodel and the workers kept the area as clean as possible. As with any project of this size things came up that were unknown and unexpected. The team quickly resolved the issues and kept the project on track. During the design process the McDonald team provided very accurate renderings of the space with design ideas that we both supplied. This allowed for confident decision making through the process. When the job completed it matched the renderings exactly and had a very familiar feel because of that. We highly recommend McDonald Remodeling for your project! Their experience with the process, their deep design and project management team, and network of subcontractors will meet your needs, big or small.

We hired McDonald Remodeling to finish the basement in our small 1950’s house and to remodel the main floor bathroom to be more accessible as we age. This being our first remodeling project, we were very pleased with the whole process from the design to the beautifully finished spaces. Our designer Nancy helped us through many iterations of floor plans to come up with the best use of our space. She also provided additional options that we could accept or decline. With a very tight timeline, our project manager Kevin made sure all their trade partners completed their work on-time and kept us informed of the progress, along with addressing any questions or concerns we had. The software they use to manage the project was also very helpful to keep track of the progress and it was easy to use. It documented our selections and provided updates with pictures of the progress. Everyone we interacted with, including all the people doing the work, were very friendly and informative. McDonald Remodeling has an exceptional team that we would highly recommend. We definitely will use McDonald Remodeling with any future projects!

We’ve done three projects with McDonald over the last 5 years. I’d recommend them to anyone. With McDonald you know the job will be done on time, within original budget, and the quality will be excellent. There are always things that come up, but they’re great at addressing things and making changes, and still keeping with the schedule. I appreciate their communication as well. Having a dedicated project manager to ask questions to is fantastic. Between Kevin, Todd, Kelley and the rest of the crew, it’s easy to get updates and make decisions. Now we just need to save up enough to have them do our kitchen too!

McDonald Remodelers is an amazing company! Our remodeling journey started when we met Nancy. We knew in a minute that she understood our vision for a new home design. In fact, the entire team of designers (Nancy, Amy, and Alisa) used creativity and expertise to create more than we even imagined. When we look at the before and after photos, we see the most beautiful transformation ever. The entire process of the remodel was well executed and completed on time. Every piece of the the project met our expectations and we found the crew talented and considerate of us as the customer. When a challenge occurred, we problem solved it together. It was teamwork at its best. Our project manage, Scott, was knowledgeable and used outstanding follow-through throughout. We would not change a thing. The entire remodel was absolute perfection. Thank you McDonald. Renette and Scott Stinson

For me to say “that was a job professionally well done” needs to meet a criterion of being well planned, well executed and completed on time. McDonalds Remodeling does that. For those considering construction/remodeling it begins with a knowledgeable designer transferring the spoken word to the project onto paper. Greg led the way on that avenue. Visiting us and measuring up the current bathroom and recording our requests. Kati and Amy then put together the “paper” version choices with “hands on” materials to examine and choose from. From there it requires the personnel to get the job done. A Project Manager is assigned to establish a personal relationship with the customer. Chris was our project manager, who did an excellent job in every aspect of our project. Chris was onsite several times and involved with each transition from one craftsperson to the next one. Always open to suggestions on how things were going. McDonalds uses a builder’s app which allows the homeowner to view work in progress. So, on Monday we could view what was on the schedule for the entire week. Our project was a shower replacement that required traveling through the front door, through the kitchen, the dining area, down the hallway to the last bedroom to locate the shower. Could not have been farther away from the front entry door. All this is worth mentioning because of those who had to get to the bathroom. Demolition crew, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, drywall, painters, cabinetry, tile setters, glass people, the cleaners and then some. These were not the same people; this was a collection of those who were dedicated to their craft. On day one, to protect our vinyl, wood and carpet floors, a three-foot wide piece of Masonite was installed as a walkway for everyone to use. The results were no damage to anything. Each one of these craftsperson’s was extremely knowledgeable of their trade, they were respectful of us and our home, left it as clean as possible by the end of the day, and pleasant to interact with while they were working. The job was completed on time to the day! We could not be more satisfied with the end results. Mitch and Gretchen Inver Grove Heights, MN

We just completed a major kitchen expansion/renovation with MacDonald Remodeling and are thrilled with the results. Not only was the project completed on time and per the detailed schedule provided by the team, the entire process from concept and design to construction and follow-up exceeded expectations. In working with Nancy we received the design expertise and guidance we were looking for, and we found her to be an excellent listener. We also truly appreciated Alyssa’s work in curating a spot-on group of options for all the sections needed, making that potentially overwhelming process extremely easy. Scott was a very effective, involved and communicative project manager. We loved his “can-do” and “we’ll figure it out” attitude. In addition, the sub-contractors working on our project were top-notch professionals that took pride in doing excellent work. We highly recommend working with MacDonald Remodeling and would use them again for any future projects.

We had a kitchen/ great room remodel done. Awesome experience! Great guidance in making decisions on design. Absolutely pleased with the whole entire process! Schedule was so detailed using an app. I always knew what part we were in the process and who was going to be in house that day. If I had any questions I would email and get a response in a very timely manner. The workers were always pleasant and respectful. The work was quality! The man that does the woodwork is phenomenally detailed in his work. I couldn’t be more pleased with my whole remodel!!! Ready to do a second phase and do my master bath remodel next

We just completed our second major project with McDonald Remodeling and are more than pleased. Our basement remodel was on time, under budget, and it’s meeting all the goals we set out to achieve. Big thank you to our project manager for being responsive and our designer for making the selection process easy. We will definitely use McDonald for our next project.

McDonald Remodeling completed a garage-with-bathroom project that enabled our son (on the Autism Spectrum) to have a “Man-Cave.” Emily Thull was in charge and her thorough, kind, and compassionate approach to managing the project–always including us, the parents in Montana, along with our son–ensured that there were no surprises and that we were all thrilled at the end. Our son has already hosted friends and we know that he will continue to use this space constantly. We highly recommend Emily and the company for their timely and excellent work!
