Jim McDonnell Contracting

The company was professional, did a clean and beautiful job for us, personable, and pricing was on point for the project. I would highly recommend this company for all of your contracting needs.

David was great to work with. Very good with communication from letting me know of his arrival time to giving me some suggestions about the paint color and what would work best. I really appreciated all his suggestions and am ever grateful that he worked me into his schedule to get my project done quickly!

David did a wonderful job. I will hire him again.

Had our porch painted and it went well! They were super efficient, got it done quickly, cleaned up well and even set the porch back up! Was very happy with the job. Thank you!

Extremely responsive. Done in the agreed upon timeframe. Excellent results. Went the extra mile to make it a great experience.

Dave and Beth did a great job - again. This is the 2nd job he’s done for us and we’ll be bringing Dave and his crew back for more work in the near future. The quality of work is great, they are friendly and considerate to have in our home. And the cost is more than reasonable. I highly recommend Dave!

Dave and Tess did a awesome job and will have them back to do more rooms in the future

Excellent. They were very through and detail oriented. Always made sure we knew of any changes or issues.

Very well, process was completed in two days.

David did an awesome job painting my porch, it looks great!! He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was responsive to my request for a quote, was able to do the job in a timely manner (big win), covered everything to keep the mess to a minimum and cleaned up afterwards. Looking forward to being a repeat customer!

Excellent! Painting job was perfect. Great communication and we really enjoyed working with Dave- so nice! We plan on using them again.

The crew led by David did a phenomenal job. Paintwork included refinishing and painting aluminum siding, trim around entire house, doors & window frames, and basically renovating my carport/screened-in patio. The team was meticulous and professional and after about 7 days of work quite literally transformed my house. Also, the cost for the job was entirely reasonable. Thank you!

We hired David McDonnell of Jim McDonnell Contracting, Housepainting, PowerWashing in spring of 2020. The work was performed September through November 2020. The business was previously owned by his father. They are a Lancaster, PA based business. Doing business with David has been disappointing & frustrating, quite opposite of how we previously felt. David & crew left our house in early November 2020 after spending 3 months painting our 127 year old Victorian home. He said he would return to finish up painting touch ups—specifically on our front porch, back porch down spouts & a few other spots. Also he would bring back all of the unused paint to do further touch ups & reinstall the front porch light while here. Naturally I believed him. When the Thanksgiving holiday rolled around we heard from him again telling me that he would be coming back soon. That was David’s last word until he reached out again in February 2021 when he asked for a review on Angi and he had said again, “see you soon” indicating that he would once again be returning. We liked David, trusted him and he did nice work, so I gave him a very good online review. I continued to promote his business with his sign in our front yard until May when I finally gave up on seeing him again. I no longer believe David because that’s what I classify as lies, leading the customer to believe in something you obviously have no intent on providing. Additionally I have also been unable to find anyone in the region to fix the 2 roof roof tiles that John & Curtis(his crew) knocked loose when replacing a roofline trim board. They did not want to repair it & said better to get a roofer to repair. All roofing contractors contacted since it happened will not repair but only replace the entire roof costing in excess of $25k. During the past 8 months those loose roof tiles hanging there are now causing damage to our roof. There are no other roof issues, just 2 loose tiles. Very upsetting as it did not have to happen this way. The process has shown us that he & his crew are personable & do nice work, however they struggle with communication & being honest. They have proven that following up & having accountability doesn’t happen with these guys. If you do ever hire David make sure you get EVERYTHING done before you give him that final payment.

Excellent work, on time, and great prices.

Dave was very professional and his work ethic was excellent. At the end of each day he made sure he showed me what was done and it was to my satisfaction.

David and his team are amazing. We were left high and dry by another painter not even half way through the project. David jumped right in and did a fantastic job. They took extreme care in keeping areas clean and organized. We had two vaulted areas done as well as having wallpaper removed and painted. The results are amazing and we already have another list of things to have done ready to go. If you need painting these are the people to hire. A+.

It went great! David was very courteous, respectful and professional. He was on time, did the task to my liking and the price was reasonable. Would truly recommend to anyone!

David was not only an excellent painter, he was also very professional. He actually cared about us as a family, he took the time to make sure we were not inconvenienced in any way, we would absolutely hire him again!

David did a great job removing stubborn wallpaper, patching walls, sanding, and cleaning up. He worked efficiently, charged a reasonable price, was quick with responding to emails, was prompt on date of service and very pleasant. We are very satisfied with the end result and have already requested quotes for painting.

Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Excellent work! You can see the experience he has and how he values his work because he did a thorough job from beginning to end. I would definitely work with him again! Very professional!

Drywall repair and paint. The walls look brand new!

David and his team were amazing to work with. David was prompt in all communication, arrived on time, was friendly, flexible, and attentive to detail. He went above and beyond to make our house shine with new white trim and doors. It was a large job, and yet David was able to complete it for a wonderful price and within a quick time frame. David and his team moved furniture and window treatments, and were gentle and careful with all items. David is trustworthy and dependable. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone who needs a contractor.

I had David paint my downstairs, living room, dining room, sunroom, kitchen, laundry room and hallway. He also painted two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. I cannot say enough good things about his professional manner from the time he came and gave me a quote to the completion of all my projects. He arrived the same time every day, even a Saturday ( after a two hour drive). We discussed the plan for the day and he got to work. He covered everything with paper and plastic, he was extremely careful with all my floors, furniture, kitchen cabinets, and lighting. He is very meticulous with all his work, focused on details. I would, and do, strongly recommend him to anyone who is interested in a professional painter. He is the best!!

Late everyday, project overextended from timeframe in contract, missed multiple area, didn't number interior room doors and when they hung back all were misaligned (stripped our hinges and we had to rehang every door. Replaced all hinges and repainted frames) We had to repaint multiple walls because of paint runs and omitted tops/trim on cabinets. Walls behind appliances not painted.
