    I had such a positive experience with Jeff and Rob. I refinished two sets of very old and warped stairs. They came out, did a walk through, set my expectations for cost and timeline. We worked together to determine the best thing to do was to replace one full set of stairs and refinish my entryway floor. They were able to accommodate it all. They were super communicative, always on time, beyond polite and respectful - especially on days when I had to work from home. They were dependable and meticulous with the job. They truly went above and beyond and touched up walls and trim that were not part of the scope. The stairs were functional and the house was clean at the end of each day. They came back a week after the job was finished to do touch ups and seriously went thru with a fine tooth comb and made sure everything was perfect. I will 1000% work with them again on my next home project.

    Jeff and Rob did a really great job on the finish carpentry for our basement remodel, finishing ahead of their estimated time and really going above and beyond. They were able to correct mistakes our original framer made which werent allowing them to make the work perfect. Thats the kind of guys youre getting with Jeff and Rob: theyre perfectionists who want to make sure youre happy at each step in the process. We had an issue with the doors that had been ordered and rather than making us wait to get the mill to correct it, they took it upon themselves to fix the issues and keep the job on track. Were truly looking forward to having them help us again on future jobs.

    For my latest kitchen renovation, I turned to them and I have no regrets about my decision. Their team was very professional from the time I contacted them to the time they delivered the work. Not only do they excel in painting and carpentry, but they also proved to be exceptional general contractors.They have lots of versatility as they also assisted in redesigning our bathroom last year, and as you can imagine, it also came out lovely. I can without any doubt recommend them for any home improvements you may want to undertake.

    McKinnon was really good about giving me a comprehensible quote for what I needed. I had to get my kitchen redone and they were perfect. I explained to them what I wanted and they offered me various options. They kept their deadlines and were very professional. You always want people who are professional when they are working inside your house. I hired them again months later to redo my bathroom, same enjoyable experience again!

    McKinnon Painting Inc. exceeded my expectations with their recent kitchen remodel. Their team was professional, skilled, and attentive to detail. The entire process, from design to completion, was smooth and efficient. Im thrilled with the results and would highly recommend them for any home improvement project, including bathroom remodels, additions, or deck building

  • Review 6 (2024-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    Best general contractor around. We had our kitchen and bathroom remodeled first, then our deck. Both projects required painting. Both times it came out great, clean lines and no drips. I would use them for any projects moving forward and cant wait to have them work on my mother-in-law suite..Thanks again guys, we love MP&C!

  • Review 7 (2024-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff and his general contractors have been so helpful and professional when it came to the renovations of my basement and outdoor patio deck. I was impressed by their website, which features beautifully remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, decks, roofs, and home additions, demonstrating their craftsmanship. The company also cares about their clients by offering free estimates for their services and general liability insurance. Their excellent work, reasonable prices, and consideration for the needs of the customer make them truly remarkable. To anyone who reads this, I highly recommend McKinnon Painting & Carpentry if they need any remodeling in their home. I may call them again to work on my bathroom soon.

    We finally decided to take on a dreaded project of having our kitchen remodeled. What we thought would be a stress filled project turned out to be stress free and we are so glad we decided to get it done. Jeff was absolutely WONDERFUL and kept us informed of each step making sure we understood what was going on (I appreciated this extra effort very much!) Our kitchen cabinets used to be an eye sore for me and now they are my favorite part of our kitchen. I cannot thank McKinnon enough for such a great experience!

    Jeff is a down to earth guy. Takes pleasure in his craftsmanship and is dedicated to the customers needs, accuracy and completion of the job.

  • Review 10 (2024-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff and his crew are the best for any home project. The general contractors were honest and gave us advice for some issues in roofs with bathroom additions. They are more than a painting and carpentry company as they helped remodel the kitchen.

  • Review 11 (2024-04-29 - Rating: 5)

    McKinnon Painting & Carpentry is the very best for any home or commercial project. We purchased a fixer-upper that has needed a full-overhaul, but our first priority was the kitchen. We knew what we were taking on, as this was our second time renovating an antique home, but it turned out to be even more than we expected.We originally hired some terrible teams, and Jeff and Rob came in mid-demo and really saved the day for our family including our < 1 year old. They inherited poorly ordered cabinets, some very difficult sub-contractors, and a job we originally thought was cosmetic that winded up being fully structural. They built us the most beautiful kitchen, with some custom fabrications, they saved us as much $$$ as they could, helped us manage the inherited sub’s, helped transport our appliances when the luxury store we bought them from fell short - we just wished we’d found them from the start. Any future building work we do in the area will be with Jeff & Rob.If you’re thinking twice for any reason, go with McKinnon Carpentry & Painting.

    Absolutely fantastic experience!!!! Jeff and his entire team were incredibly professional and did an amazing job on our project. Jeff provided a very fair quote for the job, always arrived on time, communicated consistently with us on the progress of the project, and totally finished on schedule. As others have noted, Jeff and his team go above and beyond. We will definitely be hiring him again!

  • Review 13 (2024-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    Hired the McKinnon group to replace some roofline fascia boards and install drip edging on my historic home. They are an absolutely solid crew. Communication was excellent, they treated my property with respect, and did an absolutely stellar job, leaving no mess behind at all when finished. This will be my go-to company for future jobs with full confidence.

    McKinnon Painting & Carpentry Inc went above and beyond, turning my house into a dream home. They excel not only in painting and carpentry but also as outstanding general contractors. From impressive kitchen remodels to stylish bathroom renovations, their attention to detail and professionalism stand out. Highly recommend for top-notch home improvement projects.

    McKinnon Painting &Carpentry Inc is an amazing company!! They truly care about their customers as the craftsmanship of their work can be seen in the beautiful remodeled kitchens, decks, seen on their website. McKinnon also shows they care about their customers by providing free estimates on their work and providing general liability insurance to protect their customers! McKinnon is maybe more than a painting and contracting company...they are also a company that wants their customers to be educated as they tell you what you should be avoiding when doing business with a contractor!!

  • Review 16 (2024-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    We are absolutely delighted about our experience with McKinnon. They are very responsive, skilled, prompt and easy to work with. We would recommend them without reservation to anyone.

  • Review 17 (2021-09-14 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff is one of the most responsive contractors Ive worked with and he aims to please. He and his team built and installed a shelving unit around my TV in less time than it took other contractors to just return my call! Hes professional, very experienced, and will go above and beyond. He even finished up some work that another contractor didnt. Well be using Jeff again, and I would 150% recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor, painter, handyman...anything!

  • Review 18 (2024-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    I ran into an issue with my project. It was time sensitive and within a days notice Jeff arrived to remedy the situation. Very Professional. I highly recommend !!!!

  • Review 19 (2019-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and I recently purchased a small cape and were looking to repaint the entire first floor. We contacted McKinnon Painting and Jeff came out to give us an estimate. He informed us it would be a two day job with him and his team. We scheduled the job for a week later. Jeff and his team arrived right on time and immediately got to work. Jeff made sure to explain his expected working time frame ahead of time and at the end of day one explained exactly what they had done and what they would complete the next day. Once the job was finished (right on time), Jeff walked me around showing places that he had patched up and details that I would have otherwise missed. He gave my husband and I some time in the house to look for and identify any areas we wanted touched up before he left. Overall we had an excellent experience, timeline and estimate were both upheld and the work was done efficiently and professionally. The attention to detail is still remarkable. I have already referred McKinnon Painting to several friends.

    Jeff and his crew did a phenomenal job of remodeling our kitchen. Jeff was flexible with timing as we waiting for our cabinets to arrive (since its unpredictable during COVID). At every planning step he was offering to help with anything we needed. During the remodel and wall remodel we ran into a literal brick wall that was unexpected. He created a couple custom pieces in our kitchen to fix that (corner shelf and wine rack)+ a cabinet that ended up being shorter than the others (our mistake, not his) to which he created a mail shelf for us to unify it. We now have him getting us quotes on other parts of the house.

  • Review 21 (2020-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    My wife and I had Jeff worked on my kitchen cabinet and staircase railing after water damage. We are extremely happy with his work and responsiveness to our needs. He was willing to work with our budget and still provided a quality work. We will work with him again in the future if there is any need for carpentry work.

  • Review 22 (2023-03-04 - Rating: 5)

    I rely heavily on reviews myself. Based on the reviews for this provider, I chose them. My experience was entirely consistent with the others. This is an outstanding company. I would highly recommend them. I will certainly use them in the future. The owner did the work. He was very friendly and professional. This was a small job. A heavy painting fell and damaged our trim. Another lesson learned-four heavy paintings or pictures, certain handymen may not be the best fit.

  • Review 23 (2021-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff removed some old built-in in our closet to prepare then for installation of a custom closet system. He was very responsive and thoughtful as we considered how to approach the project. We are in an old condo that has horsehair plaster walls and his knowledge and expertise in working with the older walls was very helpful. I would definitely recommend him and his team.

  • Review 24 (2021-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    We recently sold our home and moved into a new one, and Jeff and his team have done solid work at both locations—including some very tricky repair on an 1890s window in our old place, and more handyman-type jobs than I can count (wall-mounting a TV, light plumbing work, cleaning out bathroom vent, sealing a leaky window). Were working with Jeff right now to make and install built-in shelving, and he has consistently been easy to communicate with, friendly, and professional—never makes you feel like youre asking a stupid question. A great guy who does great work. Couldnt be happier to have found him!

  • Review 25 (2023-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff and his team did an amazing job with the carpentry work on my home. They were punctual, professional, and detail-oriented I would highly recommend them for any project.

    The jobs at McKinnons did on the kitchen in the backyard deck were really amazing I know we had called like three other companies for quotes and they seem like they were too booked up or too busy to even come assess and give us a quote what we need it done so much more spacious and modern in my kitchen now just like I had asked him to do appreciate it very much you guys

  • Review 27 (2022-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    I had McKinnon do both carpentry and painting at my condo in Boston (South End) and they were great. I’m very happy with the work. They’re good communicators and easy to work with. Im glad I found them and would definitely call them again.

  • Review 28 (2022-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff and his team were extremely responsive and friendly. They came and added beautiful crown moulding to the living room and painted many rooms skillfully. They did such remarkable work. I highly recommend them.

  • Review 29 (2024-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Home remodeling can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when youre planning extensive updates all at once, from kitchens and bathrooms to decks and fireplaces. On top of that, unexpected issues like roofing problems can arise. We were a bit disorganized, but they took the time to provide realistic and personalized guidance, explaining what to avoid, the time required, and how to handle surprises. They are more than just a painting and carpentry company; they are highly skilled general contractors who excel in home additions. I’m thrilled with how they helped us coordinate everything and make some fantastic updates to our home.

  • Review 30 (2019-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    McKinnon Painting and Carpentry did several challenging jobs for me. I was appreciate of both his workmanship and, as others have said, his willingness to communicate about the project. He tackled tough projects for me and I will always be thankful I found him when he was just starting out. I got to monopolize him for a short while.

  • Review 31 (2020-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Jeff is incredibly creative and professional. He is very hard working and so is his staff. He is great about communication and will work with you in order to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the end result.

  • Review 32 (2024-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    This summer, we hired Jeff and his team to work on a few projects at our house including removing a french door to exchange it with a slider and replacing rotting wood around our doors and garage and exchanging it with composite. Throughout the process, Jeff’s team was incredibly easy to work with and, frankly, we enjoyed having them around. His team was conscientious, friendly, extremely professional, and trustworthy. They communicated well throughout the job, they were prompt, and they worked clean. Ultimately, the jobs they completed turned out better than we imagined. When they replaced the french door they had to completely reframe the new door, and they even did a seamless job color matching the paint (because we didn’t have the paint) and repainting our walls. We absolutely expect to use Jeff and his team for future projects and we are grateful for their work.

    Home remodeling is such an overwhelming task when you want so much redone at one time from the kitchen to the bathroom, to the deck and fireplace. Then on top of that you got stuff with the house that just comes up in the middle like a roof issue. We were kinda all over the place lol but they took the time to be realistic and personable, explaining what to avoid, how long it takes and how to deal with the unexpected. They really are more than just a painting and carpentry company, they are some highly professional general contractors who know what they are doing. I am so happy they helped us put it all together and make some amazing home additions.

    We found Jeff on Google and asked him to come to give us a quote for just building a partition wall. However he ended up being our general contractor who helped guide us through a six month renovation. We would highly recommend Jeff and his team for any home improvement project. He is very communicable, gets back to you right away. We also found Jeff to be honest and forthcoming when unavoidable issues arose. He came back when needed to finish up small jobs and paint touch ups. His carpentry and painting skills are excellent. We will use Jeff again in the future and have already recommended him to friends.

  • Review 42 (2019-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    My wife and I hired Jeff for a complete bathroom gut and remodel. The project was daunting and many contractors passed due to the complexity and scope of the what was required. The bathroom had been badly damaged from a leaking toilet that sprang above the shower, and the entire space had not been touched since the early 70s when the house was built.We were impressed with how eager and enthusiastic Jeff was. He offered great ideas and solutions to bring the space to life, while still allowing us the creative control to personalize it. We went from a hideous (and not functioning) modular shower that was straight out of the disco era to a custom, subway tiled walk in shower. Jeff even added a mud room with a gorgeous built in wall unit to really maximize the space.My wife and I were thoroughly impressed with Jeffs communication, professionalism, and workmanship throughout the duration of the project. He is truly a master of his craft while still being approachable and down to earth. We would highly recommend McKinnon Painting & Carpentry and will absolutely hire Jeff for our next home improvement project.
