Your Florida Home Deserves Expert Protection
Deep Roots in Florida Construction
A&E Remodeling’s story begins with owner Al Donald, who started as an apprentice carpenter and worked his way to becoming a licensed contractor by 1975. After gaining comprehensive construction experience, Al founded MacDonald Builders, Inc. in 1995, focusing on both residential and commercial construction throughout West Central Florida.
As Florida’s housing market evolved, so did we. By the early 2000s, we expanded to include a specialized siding division, and by 2006, we had become one of the largest siding companies in West Central Florida. Following the 2008 real estate market reset, we recognized an opportunity to focus exclusively on what we do best – protecting and beautifying Florida homes with premium exterior solutions.
In 2009, we rebranded as A&E Remodeling, LLC to reflect our specialized focus on exterior remodeling. Today, we continue to serve our St. Petersburg neighbors and surrounding communities with the same builder-level knowledge and attention to detail that has defined our reputation for over 25 years.
Unlike national chains or general contractors who spread themselves thin across many services, our focused expertise means your home receives solutions specifically designed for Florida’s unique challenges. When you choose A&E Remodeling, you’re partnering with true Florida exterior specialists who understand your home from the inside out.

The A&E Difference: Builder Knowledge, Specialized Focus
What separates A&E Remodeling from other exterior companies? It’s simple – we bring builder-level knowledge to every project. While many companies simply install products, our construction background gives us a comprehensive understanding of how your home’s exterior integrates with its overall structure.
This builder’s perspective means we:
- Identify underlying issues others might miss
- Recommend comprehensive solutions, not quick fixes
- Integrate exterior components for complete protection
- Understand Florida building codes and requirements thoroughly
- Anticipate and prevent problems before they develop
This approach has earned us the trust of homeowners across St. Petersburg and surrounding communities for over 25 years. When you choose A&E Remodeling, you’re getting much more than an installer – you’re partnering with experienced builders who specialize in exterior protection.
