DaBella

The story of DaBella is anything but typical.

In our industry, it’s common for people to talk about the dream of one day owning their own business, often driven by the desire to make a lot of money. The start to our story, however, is different. It entails a motivated, young family who had worked in the home improvement industry but envisioned a different kind of home services company. The goal was not just to build a business, but to create an extended family, where employees, suppliers and most importantly, customers, were part of the family.

Donnie McMillan Jr. founded the company in 2011 in Portland, OR. During this same time, the McMillan family was blessed with twins. In fact, the name of the company comes from a combination of their names — David and Isabella. But DaBella is so much more than a company name. From the beginning, it has been a second family name for employees. It’s the nameplate of a company that works in the name of families.
