Customer Reviews

Sharon LeB

I contacted R. Dolan Construction recently to ask about replacing our old tub with an accessible walk-in shower. Biggest problem was it needed to fit the same footprint. Ron and Ryan presented options and suggestions which would add style and eliminate future problems. We decided to do a full tear-down to the studs and I now have a beautiful shower – more elegant than my original plan and still within budget. All of the tradesmen were personable and professional and left the premises spotless. Big thanks to everyone involved.

I had an excellent experience with this company during my bathroom renovation. The entire team was polite, friendly, and highly professional. The project was completed efficiently, with prompt scheduling and no long waiting periods between trades. Ryan and Paul were especially outstanding and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for quality workmanship and great service.
