I hired Mark after purchasing my mother’s house. I met with several contractors and Mark was the most professional by far. We were looking to raise the roof and convert eves to a dormer on the second floor getting us lots of needed space. We needed a couple bedrooms and office and a bathroom. From the day they started there was barely any downtime. While waiting for plumbers and inspections the crew worked on the siding. The crew worked fast and hard throughout the entire process. I also got updates so I always knew what was going on and that was key. Mark also encouraged me to reach out if I EVER had a question or concern about anything. The one time I asked him a question he had an instant response, always knew what was going on. They truly care about the work they did and it shows. So many compliments on the work

Details: Multiple room remodel • Bathroom • Bedroom • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want • No, the project is not covered by an insurance claim • As soon as possible

My husband and I contacted Mark for an estimate to construct a full basement bathroom and remodel an upstairs bathroom. Mark promptly came by, reviewed various options with us, and made a number of helpful suggestions as to how we could accomplish our project. We were impressed with his depth of knowledge and great communication skills. Due to some major expenses that arose unexpectedly on our end, we've had to put plans on hold. Mark has been responsive and even came back for a second visit to provide input on how we could scale down the plans to meet our new circumstances. We look forward to working with Mark and his team in the near future when we are back on track.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Mark and his team on my basement remodel / finish project. To me the key factors for any job are ownership, communication, responsiveness, expectation management and quality. Mark ticked all the boxes. I handed over a project to Mark in a bit of a mess (which was created by my previously hired contractor). Mark was quick to identify gaps / issues and hit the ground running in recommending and implementing fixes and in no time my project was back on track. Mark and his team worked tirelessly to deliver a quality product. Throughout the lifecycle of my project, I was impressed by his responsiveness, communication, professionalism, expectation management and overall the intent to make his customer happy and deliver. At the end I ended up getting a great looking basement. Also, last but not the least, I gained a good friend. 5 star rating and highly recommended!!

Details: A full day (Complex or long-term projects) • Installation • Basement • Walls (inside) • Flooring • Home

Mark is a very personable and professional, very knowledgeable about the type of project I was doing witch involved remodeling a deck and install new front stairs. Mark answered all my questions I had about my project And offered good suggestions on existing areas on my deck and stairs and some problem areas that my house needed repairing. Marks carpenters were very nice and did a great job on my Deck and stairs! Thought cost and value of project was very fair and would defiantly hire Mark again for any future projects I may have in the future. Thank you Mark!
