Our Approach

At Mark's Home Improvement LLC, we take a personalized approach to each project. We start by meeting you in person to discuss your needs and vision for the project. We then provide detailed plans, quotes, and contracts for your approval. Once the project is underway, we commit crews daily to ensure timely completion. Throughout the project, we communicate with you to ensure that your vision is being realized and that you are completely satisfied with the results. Contact us now to schedule a consultation! We look forward to working with you.

FAQs

Our pricing is honest; we consider what is needed for the specific job regarding quality and complexity, and our pricing is reasonably flexible based on what the customer actually needs. We can build a piano or put shelving in your garage; every job is different.

We always prefer to personally visit the customer and introduce ourselves before any work is done. We feel it is important to thoroughly review their needs and discuss exactly what we would do and how to make absolutely certain all aspects of what they need and how we would do the job are understood and satisfactory. Given our experience, we often have more efficient or preferred approaches or suggestions that surprise the customer and ultimately save money and time.

We work with residential customers representing every walk of life, as well as commercial companies.

We recently completed a complex basement refinish that required addressing many challenges, such as moisture, the condition of existing walls, floors, ceilings, electrical and plumbing, and a customer with other specific requirements. The total job took five days.

Check feedback from the potential contractor to ensure that previous customers are satisfied and no major problems exist! Question the contractor about their experience in a particular need and ask them for their professional advice. Doing it right the first time saves money and time in the long term.

The customer should have an idea of the timeline when they require it done. Is there anything else the contractor could do to help them out at the same time while on-site, which would result in a lower cost because the contractor is already there, design or style aspects of what they require done, and customer or contractor supply which materials?

Customer Reviews

Marks Home Improvement LLC

Mark was excellent to work with. Him and his crew demolished the previous ceiling, reinforced the existing structure, and then plastered the ceiling and added recessed lights. They were great at communicating and the job looks like it was well done and ready to be painted. They were also great with dogs!

Vanessa W.

Mark and his team were excellent to work with. He is very responsive and aims to please. We had a small demolition and carpentry project and he was timely, professional, and left our home clean and barely looking like anyone had been there. We will definitely call him again for future projects!

Emily B.

Mark completely transformed our outdoor living. He listened to everything we wanted; he was responsive, punctual, above and beyond our expectations.

Gaby L.

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.

Nancy W.

We had an excellent experience working with Mark and his team on our deck project. Mark was responsive and walked us through all of our choices. He helped us choose a cost effective Trex product and made sure we understood everything that was going to happen. He had two great guys come work on the project who were friendly to have around, respectful to our space, and did great work. The cost was very reasonable and Mark was accommodating to our budget. We are sooo happy with the final product and look forward to working with Mark on any future home projects.

Ryan O.

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.

Maureen d.

Mark is extremely professional and easy to talk with. Marks team is great they do a great job, it's seems as they could fix anything. I definitely plan to use them again when needed

John A.

Mark and his team did a great job repairing my old aluminum siding and the rotted wood underneath. They were able to manufacture needed pieces and do the work three stories up. He even charged me less than his estimate.

Tom M.

We had an excellent experience with Mark's Home Improvement. We contacted Mark about a small project in our basement and we heard back from him very quickly. Mark listened to our plans and goals for the project and made very helpful suggestions. Mark was also willing to work within whatever budget parameters we set and never pressured us to increase the budget. Mark was very communicative and came to meet us at our home several times in the evening to fit our work schedules. Once the work began, it went incredibly quickly and smoothly. The team was neat and friendly and our dog loved having them visit. Now that the work is complete we couldn't be happier with the outcome and wont hesitate to contact Marks Home Improvement for future projects.

Alex M.

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.

Christine G.

We were looking for someone to complete a flooring project in our basement. The quality of work and attention to detail on the project was exceptional! Mark and his team are true professionals.

Bryan R.

Mark and his team completed a project within two weeks that took me over a year of calling multiple people to find someone. They were efficient, on time, and amazing!

Meghan G.

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!!

Arindam G.

We recently hired Mark to rebuild our deck using a composite decking. The outcome is both stunning and structurally sound. Mark was in constant communication with us from the beginning of the project to the end. He was responsive to all inquiries and requests throughout. Mark also provided detailed explanation of the process so that there were no surprises along the way. We are extremely pleased with his work and intend to hire him in the future for other household projects.

Tim f.

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!

Julie S.

Mark and his team have been great to work with. Excellent communication, they're very professional, and certainly know what they're doing! Our treehouse was falling out of the tree and not only did they secure the structure, build stairs and an additional deck, but they patched up the trees to prevent infection. I'd certainly recommend them!

Charlotte P.

We went with Mark for our in house stairs that needed work. Mark responded immediately, and had his finish carpenter Gary come over to do the work. Gary came within 2 days was absolutely awesome! His suggestions helped out immensely, and his craftsmanship and work was incredible. We will definitely call again when we need work done, and Mark and Gary will be our first call. Highly recommended!

Hi Joe, thank you so much for the favorable feedback and for bringing us a board to do your stair project! Yes Gary is fantastic, as all my guys are! Please keep us in mind for anything else that comes up, we will be there if you need us! very best regards Mark.

Mark was absolutely great. Talented handyman capable of almost everything. Knowledgeable & friendly. Mark built me a few fence doors and replaced a delicate pane of glass in an antique door, great work. Best part about meeting Mark is to know you have a handyman for life. Looking forward to my next project with him

Thanks Jay, it was a pleasure meeting you and working on your great home! Feel free anytime, just let me know I'll be there! Welcome aboard! Mark

Mark showed up right on time to remove a wall A/C unit and seal up the hole inside and out. He and his assistant completed the work quickly and the quality is great, very knowledgable. He also fixed a broken kitchen cabinet and put back up an outdoor plastic conduit cover that the wind had blown off. What great service! And an excellent communicator.

Susan c.

Mark was fantastic. He helped install an above the range microwave. He was on time and did a quality job, I will definitely use his services again.

Ray C.

Mark was great to work with! he showed up on time and gave an extra effort to go through every detail of the project with us.

Will highly recommend and will definitely hire him for other projects!

Tamara Z.

Had a great experience hiring Mark for a kitchen counter and sink replacement. He covered everything from suggesting color of counter and faucet style to money saving tips. He was prompt in responding to all texts between us and scheduled the job quickly. His work was top notch despite some challenges of working in an old settled house. Value, know how, and great to work with. Would highly recommend Mark.

Rosemarie S.

Mark was great. Got back to us quickly, and handled all of our various and differing jobs with no trouble. I would absolutely give him a call again for any projects that we need help with.

We have been working with Mark on several projects for our historic home in Salem. Mark has provided tremendous value and amazing quality and there is seemingly nothing he can't do.

John E.

I needed to have a dryer installed and Mark responded to my request on Thumbtack. He came over, reviewed the project and gave me a reasonable quote. He was able to come over in a couple days and do the project during an evening. I was very happy with the work, and his flexibility with scheduling.

Scott A.

I needed 3 rotten window sills replaced. He worked very quickly and professionally. I had special requirements for only working afternoons and it wasn't a problem. He got the work done on the original schedule we agreed on. He milled out the replacement sills based on the existing sills so everything would match. He also offered to paint the new sills at no additional cost. Overall I'm very happy with the work and value.

Jeffrey C.

Mark was great. He came over to our place to give us a quote and some ideas and suggestions for our porch. He was friendly, on time and had some good knowledge and ideas to share!

Danielle C.

We are in the process of getting our 50 year old home ready to sell and needed a handyman to come and do some various fixes. We had rotting wood that needed to be replaced/painted, windows that needed reglazing, storm door replaced, cupalo to be repaired, drop ceiling to be installed in our basement along with other similar projects. I found Mark's Handyman Services on Thumbtack and it was the BEST choice I could have made! Mark was friendly, so easy to talk to when describing our needs, he made wonderful cost effective suggestions, was punctual, very fast and efficient in getting the work done, was fair, very organized and cleaned up work areas every day. Mark was easy going and very knowledgeable about the work he did. He was a pleasure to work with and I'm happy to say he will be our handyman for any future projects we have. I HIGHLY recommend using Mark's Handyman Services - you won't be disappointed!

Mark is great! We had him do a couple odd projects for us and he was able to use his experience and expertise to accomplish the job better than we would have expected. We would definitely recommend Mark to others. He was on time when he said he would be and was pleasant to work with.

Kristen R.

Great work fair price and excellent communication/follow through

Sean o.

I asked Mark to replace some rotted wood on two 22 foot wide steps that connect our kitchen to the deck by our pool. The steps have been peeling paint and looking sad for at least 4 years, and then one of the steps broke. Mark suggested we use mahogany and stain them rather than trying to match the color of the deck- that turned ordinary steps into a work of art.

It was not an easy project- way too many nails were in the old stairs (lots of time all pulling them out, and Mark used screws instead), the steps were different widths so long boards had to be planed to the exact widths needed for each... all in all, a more complicated than meets the eye). Mark brought all the needed tools and saws, set up a workshop area, and got the project done quickly. It was a pleasure working with him.
