We ended up remodeling the entire bathroom and are very happy with the results. We don't live in the area anymore and this was our first remodel. Mark walked us through the process remotely and took care of the small details that we didn't think of so that the whole bathroom just looks amazing. He not only re-did the bathroom, but also fixed all of the issues that were a result of the previous owners doing their own plumbing/electrical work in a suboptimal way. He was also very responsive to any of my concerns throughout the entire process. My only regret is that we no longer live there to enjoy the final product. Next time I need anything done, I'm definitely going to call him. **★★★★★ — cjakerle, Jan. 2018** > Mark and his team did a wonderful job on our house renovation(s). While the primary project was a bathroom renovation, we had a list of over 100 items to fix from when we moved into the house and Mark was able to help with nearly all of them. We went from being stressed every time we looked around the house because of all these projects to being able to breathe easy knowing we could call Mark if anything goes wrong (as it did when our pipes froze in Jan 2018). The list of projects has included: Master bath/closet renovation (down to the studs, moving walls, etc ... pics attached), Kids bath renovation (pic attached), replacing two walls from the outside in, blowing in new insulation, a new large shed (work in progress pic attached), adding a wall around an unsafe spiral staircase, addressing poor original house design that allowed pipes to freeze, replacing the ceiling of a bathroom that suffered water damage, correcting issues with siding all around the house and fixing gable vents, removing warped walls in the basement to look for foundation issues, fixing some laminate floor boards that were out of place, adding heating elements to the roof, and removing a rotting, dangerous pergola. > > During the remodel, Mark and his team were on time every day, even when it was snowing or icy (they would just show up early and snowblow!). Unforeseen issues (like a pre-existing issue in the original design of the house where the furnace vent was routed incorrectly) were met with options and then quick resolutions. Mark and his team took great care of the house even outside of their work areas, making sure that there was plastic/tarps down and limited dust blowing through the house. > > One of the best parts of working with Mark is that any issues/concerns are addressed without question. We don't go more than an hour before getting a response to questions (and it is often minutes), even a year after the main work ended. Every day of the main remodel he asked for feedback and quickly adjusted course as needed. **★★★★★ — Amy Cutting, Jan. 2018** > Mark and his crew were amazing. Mark worked with me on the design and steered me towards a good option in siding and worked within our budget. I am beyond happy with how quickly they were able to fit us in and get the siding replaced. They even painted my garage doors (both were an ugly orange color from the previous owner) and replaced the glazing in the side garage winter to match the main house. I'm so excited about how everything turned out and I'm looking forward to this spring to add some landscaping to it! Thank you again!!! **★★★★★ — Joyce Ramsey, Nov. 2017** > Mark Ellis Builders are my go to company and have rehired him numerous times since 2015. Mark and his crew are dependable, always on time. Mark has been an excellant communicator and not left me stranded. Our garage project including dirty plaster and lath ceiling tear out, insulate and building a storage loft sold me on his company. Mark always listens to my ideas, often makes suggestions that add greatly to the final outcome. I've hired him for many jobs since and even a long list of "honey do" tasks, all of which have exceeded my expectation. Thank You Mark Ellis and crew! **★★★★★ — Kathleen Richards, Nov. 2017** > If you are looking for a building contractor for any improvement to your home, you could not do better than Mark Ellis Builders. We found him to be meticulous, conscientious, trustworthy, knowledgeable, observant, good natured, patient, respectful and responsive. Mark listened well to our opinions during every step of the process and provided valuable suggestions and guidance. > > Mark and his capable crew were hired to make numerous repairs around the house including rotting exterior trim; the prep and painting of the entire exterior; the removal of railings; the gutting and remodeling of the master bath and vanity areas; painting the master bedroom; removal and replacement of the front concrete steps; gutter repairs; install basement dehumidifier; the replacement of fixtures and handles; and other smaller fixes. > > The exterior of the house looks better than new with the care taken on the paint job. > > The master bathroom was a bigger job than we had anticipated as it needed to be completely gutted and rebuilt properly. The new bathroom is lovely with its new lighting and exhaust systems, rebuilt shower and Jacuzzi tub areas, and Mark’s exacting tile work that is simply exquisite. His crew cheerfully repainted the vanity area a couple of times until the color scheme was right and we were satisfied. > > Mark and his men were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them wholeheartedly for any project. For all of the work that needed to be done, we consider the cost to be reasonable. **★★★★★ — Molly B., Oct. 2017** > We hired Mark Ellis Builders to renovate the hundred-year-old carriage house at our new home. The building was originally a barn, but had been a bare-bones rental for many years, and it was in pretty bad shape. My husband and I are typically DIYers (we had already installed new windows throughout), but the bathroom was far beyond our skillset (the subfloor was rotted out beneath the 4 or 5 layers of linoleum). We were so pleased with the quality of the work and so convinced of the team's competency that we expanded the project to include insulating under the first story floors, remodelling the kitchen, and installing an upstairs closet and laundry room. We had expected the finished product to be basic-rustic, but fully functional. Instead, five weeks after we were at dirt and daylight-through-the-walls (see pics), we have this tight, clean, fully functional little house. > The challenges of the project (no plumb walls, no right angles, the overall age of the building, etc.) required several creative work-arounds. What I appreciated working with Mark and his team was that although he brought a lot of ideas to the conversation, he also sought and heard ours. > It was a positive experience overall and we fully intend to hire Mark Ellis Builders again in the future **★★★★★ — Anne Martin, Oct. 2017** > I am sincerely grateful that Ellis Builders was recommended by my dear friend. I hired him to install a dishwasher and do a few odds and ends. We discussed in advance that I wanted to do an overall needs assessment. Upon arrival, he deftly inspected my home and property and together we established a priority list. As a single person without handy-person skills, I get anxiety thinking about failing appliances, normal upkeep, plumbing and electrical issues. I now feel reassured that together we have a proactive plan and I’m not on my own trying to deal with problems reactively.
