Awful awful awful experience all around. Terrible communication and incredibly unprofessional. Overpriced. Over budget and over estimated time. Lower than average quality of work.

When I first met Paul Donelan he was likable and charming, but there were problems immediately. I had the project price for several major elements. Right before starting work I took out one to save money. Within a day or two I added it back. It was clear it was supposed to be at the agreed price. But Paul didn't reprice this element until the end of the project, and then for thousands more. There was confusion and disorganization throughout the renovation, but I must admit the work turned out well, though somewhat less well for fine details. Now we come to the rub. The air conditioning system never worked as it was supposed to. A couple of feeble attempts were made to repair it, but when it became clear it would be difficult, Paul simply walked away. I highly recommend against using Donelan Contracting. If you do hold back as much money for as long as possible. That will be your only guarantee that Donelan stands behind his work.
