“Donegal Services demolished a house and disconnected the water and sewer at the mains for me. These guys are the best! They have the equipment, trucks and people to handle a fussy small project like mine. I am sure that most of their work is larger in scale but everyone had a great attitude and they were a pleasure to work with. Their prices are very competitive and I feel that I can depend on them to do a great job! Highly recommended with confidence!”

“My experience with Donegal Services was a great one! I contacted Rudy Milo initially & Chris O’Connor came the next day to estimate my job of demolishing & removing a worn out old house & garage from my property. They handled the permit process quickly & completed the entire project in one day. I was certainly impressed with their teamwork, communication & professionalism. I will certainly ask them back to my project to excavate & pour foundation for my new home & steel out building. Thanks guys!! Great work!!”

“Donegal Services did an excellent demolition project for me, removing a house, garage and shed. The guys were pleasant and did great work. They were mindful of the trees and landscaping that I wanted to save. And, they left the site clean, level, and looking beautiful! Donegal's truck drivers did an amazing job backing into a tight entryway off a narrow, tree-lined road. Donegal Services showed up as promised, they performed the work quickly, and they were a pleasure to deal with.”
