He came in and prepped the area with a drop cloth and without delay started on the project. He was very quick and friendly while performing his work. He then made the repairs and fixed it so that next time it would be easier to repair.
Description of Work: Quick response to repair a drain pipe in the kitchen that was a botched DIY project.

I'm disappointed because the reviews on here were so good. I was looking forward to getting an estimate from them and seeing if they fit my budget. I will never know because they were not professional or courteous enough to write me back to confirm the appointment that they had suggested.
Description of Work: The courteously responded to my first inquiry about giving me an estimate for a new furnace. They wrote back at 930pm the day I initiated contact so that they could suggest dates for them to come to my home to give estimate. I picked a date/time and wrote them back the next morning. No one ever wrote me back. I even wrote to them and asked them to please respond by the morning of the day I had chosen for an appointment or I would have to assume they were no longer interested in providing an estimate. I have heard nothing since. I guess they didn't want/need my business after all.

John responded to my email inquiry within a reasonable amount of time. We set up a weekend date that worked with my work schedule. John arrived at the time he stated, which was on the earlier side of a Saturday morning. We had a slight hiccup when we discovered that my old dishwasher had been installed incorrectly and John was worried he would not be able to get it out without ruining the floor. However, he removed the base of the dishwasher and all went smoothly. The dishwasher was removed, new one installed and old one out of the house within a little over an hour. The price was extremely reasonable and John was quick and efficient in completing the work. I would recommend this company and, in particular, John Donnelly to anyone looking for this service. A side note- John was very nice to my dogs when he was going in and out of the house. I always appreciate that!
Description of Work: Removed a dishwasher from the kitchen (and from the house) and installed new one (already purchased).

The plumber came out just 20 minutes or so after I called. Didn't have a needed part in his truck, but returned the next day and performed the work. No problems at all.

I had a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom off of the master bedroom. I always was of the impression that it was from the roof. When we had a new roof installed the leak did not go away. The ceiling was opened and we discovered that we had a leak in the vent pipe. McGillian and Donnelly did an excellent job of repairing the problem without causing damage to a new roof. I have recommend them to my sister

Tom not only hooked up the stove, but he put a cover over the outlet and used his own part for the stove and told me to return the one I purchased at Home Depot. I called him at 1:20pm Sat. afternoon and he said he'd be at my house @ 2pm, and he was. Excellent service, I would definitely use them again.

We gathered five estimates from local heating heat & AC contractors. McGillian & Donnelly offered the lowest responsible bid on high quality equiptment, so we went with them. They showed up on time every day and did what they promised and cleaned up after themselves. All the members of the crew worked well together. The job was completed on time and for the contract amount. The new A/C is doing fine even in this current heat wave of 94 degree day. We have already recommended this company to our neighbors.

Initially contacted plumber because my old kitchen faucet would not stop dripping. Thought I would need new unit but ,with some effort and taking it completely apart, he was able to fix the existing faucet. Since I appreciated that he actually attempted (and succeeded) to fix the faucet and not tell me immediately that it had to be replaced, I asked him for an estimate on replacing my garbage disposal that had been broken for some time. He initially tried to clear it and get it to work but found that the blades had been been bent beyound repair and the unit would need to be replaced. The estimate he gave me for replacing the unit (including labor) was less than half of what another plumber had given me for the same unit (not including the labor). I agreed to have him replace the disposal the following week. When he returned and removed the disposal found that the pipes leading from my dishwasher to the disposal and from the disposal to the main drain were rusted in various spots (which probably explains why I sometimes got water under the dishwasher - which hasn't happened since pipes were replaced). He clearly showed me the pipes - didn't take a genius to see they need replacing - and told me how much additional it would cost to replace them (very reasonable). I agreed to the replacement and appreciated his honesty - he could have just connected the disposal and then waited until the pipes continued to rust through totatally and I would have to call him back for an additional charge and service. Totally satisfied with my kitchen work, asked him to fix dripping faucet in bathroom. Unfortunately, that one was too far gone and did have to be replaced along with the hot and cold water hoses. Again, he gave me a very reasable price and completed job same day. I am very pleased with the quality of service and professionalism of M&D LLC plumber.
Description of Work: Fixed kitchen faucet, replaced garbage disposal and adjacent rusted pipes, replaced bathroom faucet and applicable hot & cold water hoses.

Our tankless water heater started to trip a circuit breaker and wasn't heating properly so we contacted John to see if he could work on a tankless system which he said wouldn't be a problem. I gave him the serial number of the unit, told him I didn't think I had the manual (but would look) and made an appointment. John shows up and tells me he found a copy of the manual, but soon realized it was the wrong one. So I took the serial number and called the manufacturer up to have them email me a copy. I have no idea why John couldn't do the same. Strike 1. John tells me he's identified the problem but will need to get back to me to get a price for repair, but there would be a charge for the initial visit. I thought he should have mentioned this upfront, but that sounds reasonable. I then get an email stating that he would have to come back and diagnose it again for an additional charge, that depending on what the issue was the parts may be warrantied. Or he could quote me a price for a tank system. It seemed odd to me that he's already going to charge me for the first visit to diagnose and then would have to pay for a second diagnosis. I emailed back that I'd like the quote for a new system instead. No response. A few days go by and I email again. Nothing. Strike 2. A few days later I give him a call, he appologizes and tells me he got busy. To busy to respond I guess. I told him that I would like to get that quote but would also like to move forward with figuring out what it would take to fix my current unit. He said no problem, he'll show up the next morning at 8:30. Great, I make arrangements to work from home. As you would have guessed, John did a full no show the next day. No call, no email, no showup. Completely unacceptable. Strike 3. I'll have to see if he thinks I'm on the hook for the initial visit, if he does then I think we'll have an issue.

John was responsive, offered great ideas, and provided a reasonable price.
Description of Work: We had John come out to give an estimate for a lot of work - remodel of kitchen, remodel existing bathroom; addition of two bathrooms. His price was competitive and we regret not going with him. The company we chose was unprofessional, poor quality, and we ultimately had to fire that company.

Better than I could have hoped for. This is a top notch, trustworthy crew....very professional and tidy. Love the work they did and it added lots of value to my home. Wish I found them a long time ago, their work is superior to others I have hired, and their price very fair.
Description of Work: Jim converted a walk in closet into a powder room , removed some existing walls from the bottom and top of a staircase and installed some balusters, posts and raillings at both the top and bottom ( opening up the staircase so its no longer a narrow dark space.) He completed all the finish work that resulted from that, repaired ceiling and existing walls....painted etc.

Our Boiler died the day before Thanksgiving. M & D replaced it within 4 Days and was more then $800 bellow the next bid. We got 5 bids from local contractors over the weekend including Home Depot and Sears for purposes of financing. The retail prices were several thousand dollars higher. The boiler was installed in less then a day with minimum disturbance to our routine. I am a Mechanical Engineer by profession and I can say their work is excellent.

Our kitchen sink clogged last night. I called John at 7:30 this morning and set up an appointment for 5:30 this evening. He showed up on time and for 90 minutes attempted to unclog our drain with a snake, plunger, and other equipment. He was unable to clear the drain and recommended we try calling a plumber friend of his who has more powerful drain cleaning equipment. I'm hoping that his friend will be available tomorrow to do the work. John was punctual, professional, and very kind not too charge us too much since he wasn't able to complete the job. I would definitely hire him for other jobs.

I have several rental properties and these guys have become my go to plumbers/HVAC team. I started with a small job on a kitchen sink which was done well for $70. I thought I had another job for them but they told me how I could do it myself for $5 worth of supplies which I appreciated. I have subsequently used them for multiple jobs including HVAC were they have spent time to diagnose the issue and come up with a cost saving solution, instead of just saying I need a new system as others have done.

I was very impressed that Mr Donnelly, took his time to evaluate the problem. He checked and rechecked to make his determination. When he told me that it wasn"t worth unclogging, i felt that he wasn't trying to ripe me off. i felt that he was a honest man. He must of spent about a one half hour at my place and didn't get paid one red cent. He told me that i needed a roofer and recommended 2 that he knew of. He took the time to even write them down for me, after he found them in his phone.
Description of Work: Mr Donnelly returned my call, the same day. We arranged for him to come out the following morning. He then called back and said he needed to reschedule for a later time in the day. He called when he was on his way. He looked at the storm drain, which was in question from the outside, then located the pipe from the inside, 1st floor room (this really impressed me because he was the first person to show me where the pipe was located from the inside of the building. You see, I had several other plumbers come out pertaining to this issue and they all said they couldn"t see where the pipe was from the inside, or they were telling me it was another pipe, which didn't make any sense to me( because the pipe in question was about 3ft away. No one had ever showed me this pipe before and I felt confident he knew what he was talking about, because the pipe was located right under the location where the storm drain is. Mr Donnelly determined the pipe was a galvanized pipe, probably about 50 yrs.old. He determined the storm drain wasn,t worth unclogging. he determined the pipe was too small to handle the amont of water that would be coming from the main roof.

Never again will this contractor get another call from me. I had read about his punctuality issues but decided to give him a chance anyway. Boy was that a mistake! Be warned, calling this contractor would be a waste of your time, call someone else!
Description of Work: I can't give a detailed description on this contractor only because I never got him to my house! I called him initially on a Thursday to get an estimate on how much it would cost to re-route my toilet. During that phone call, he informed me that he would be going on vacation that same weekend and would not be available for a week and asked that I call him back. So, I waited for about a week and half and tried him again, well I got no response just voicemail and so I left a message with my phone number to call me back at his earliest convenience. It took him about another week before he called me back. We scheduled an appointment for the following day, which was a Friday at 11:30am. It was about 1pm on that Friday, and he still hadn't shown up, not even a call to notify me that he was running late. I had errands to do that day so I left my house at that time. It wasn't unitl 1:30pm that he decided to call me and leave a message on my voicemail to say that he had been running late and that he was actually in front of my house. When I got home, his card was on my door asking that we reschedule.
