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

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!!

We recently used Mark Desmond and his team. The entire experience was a pleasure. We did a complete kitchen renovation and he made the whole process a breeze. From start to finish he was true to his word. To be very honest I have not really ever had an experience as smooth as this with a contractor. He made all arrangements from the carpentry, electrical and plumbing and in a very timely manner. The customer service was second to none. All that being said we were delighted with the outcome, I highly recommend his company, I know we will certainly be sending more work his way!!

Details: Full remodel of existing kitchen • No, plumbing will not need to be relocated • I'm not sure, need professional recommendation • No existing plans, but have a good idea of what I want • Residential

Mark and his gang are great! They converted my basement from dirt to sealed and dry including new windows and doorway. They are ultra professional and keep things clean. The foreman gave me different options to suit my needs and my wallet and the work is getting done on time! I would definitely use them again.

Details: Residential • More than 1,500 sq. ft. • Yes, I will be adding structural or weight-bearing features to my basement • No existing plans - need design suggestions

After the person I hired to finish my basement floor bailed a quarter through the job I contacted Mark. I contacted Mark on a Tuesday and he came out that day to look at the job and quote me a price. Thursday mark contacted me letting me know that Chad would be at my home on Saturday. Chad arrived Saturday at 9am ( on time) and finished the job in a few hours. Chad worked the entire time not taking cell phone breaks . My experience with Mark and Chad was excellent and I will definitely be hiring them for future projects.
