Who We Are
People. Safety. Solutions. Performance.
Since 1941, our success has been built on these four key values. Â It is what drives us every day to fulfill our mission.
Donley’s engages genuine people to provide construction services that deliver and sustain our clients’ vision through safety, innovation, integrity, and reliability.
We are an employee-owned company and nationally recognized leader in construction. Over the past 80 years, we’ve grown into a highly respected, innovative concrete construction company with the kind of people clients want to work with.
Origins
In 1895, James and George Donley formed a partnership as lathing contractors known as Donley Brothers Company in Cleveland. In 1941, Don and Phil Donley established Ernest F. Donley Sons, Inc. as concrete formwork contractors by purchasing the construction department of Donley Brothers Company. Terry Donley became the company’s third-generation leader, taking over as president and CEO in 1968. In 2002, he handed the baton to his son, Mac Donley, who currently serves as CEO.

At Donley’s, it’s People First.
Starting as a family-owned company in 1941, Donley’s made the transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2023, making our employees the owners of the business.
