"We underwent a renovation of an entire floor of our home, including a dream kitchen that Mark delivered on. The fit and finish of his cabinetry work is the highlight of our renovation and is also on display in our mudroom that accommodates storage for our family of six. Mark really helped make the most of the space we had. Most importantly, Mark worked with us through key decision points to ensure all aspects of the job were to our liking and was patient and helpful as we pondered options. We will not hesitate to consult with Mark on future work. We found him to be honest and fair in his approach and we were left with a product that has really been working for our busy household as well as being better than what we had imagined."
