Beautiful Third Floor Renovation

We’re proud to share this beautiful third-floor addition completed by our team at McDonald Contracting. The dormer build-out was completed by our partner Bob through our newly acquired business, High Tech Dormer, while our team handled the remainder of this Massachusetts house build — including the design, framing and walls, interior finishes, tiling, flooring, windows, trim, and detailed finish work.

This project is a great example of how we help homeowners across Massachusetts better use their attic space, transforming underused areas into functional, well-designed living space as part of a custom home build or renovation. At McDonald Contracting, we’re committed to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful construction on every Massachusetts home build.

At McDonald Contracting, we specialize in Massachusetts house builds, home renovations, and attic conversions, helping homeowners turn existing space into something both functional and beautiful. This before-and-after transformation reflects our commitment to detail, efficiency, and delivering high-quality results on every Massachusetts home build.

Innovative Roof-lifting Technology

We’re thrilled to announce that McDonald Contracting is acquiring High Tech Dormer Corp, bringing innovative roof-lifting technology to our customers!

Founded in 1987, High Tech Dormer is a family-owned company based in Medford, MA, with three U.S. patents for its innovative system that lifts and preserves your existing roof while adding new upper-level space. This revolutionary method enables homeowners to expand upward instead of outward, often saving 15–30% compared to traditional construction, while avoiding the need to relocate during the project.

What This Means for You

By adding High Tech Dormer’s expertise to our team, we can now offer:

  • Expanded space with less disruption: Lift your existing roof to create new rooms or an entire second floor, all while keeping your home largely intact.

  • Faster, more efficient builds: Reduced demolition and material waste mean quicker timelines and lower costs.

  • Comfort and convenience: Many homeowners can stay in their homes throughout the process.

  • Smart, sustainable upgrades: Build up instead of out, preserving your yard and maximizing your property’s value.

The Future of Home Additions

Combining McDonald Contracting’s craftsmanship with High Tech Dormer’s patented technology allows us to deliver beautiful, cost-effective, and forward-thinking additions for our clients.

If you’ve been dreaming of more space without the stress of a complete renovation, now’s the perfect time to explore this exciting new option. Contact us to discover how we can elevate your roof and home to the next level!
