Replaced high ceiling pot lights

We were primarily seeking someone to replace pot lights in our ceiling that is about 20’ high and not easily accessible. Mark responded to our request straight away, was available at the time that was most convenient for us, showed up right on time that day.

Turned out the socket for one of the pot lights was actually burnt out so my husband ran out to get a part while Mark replaced the rest. Then he did some unexpected electrical work for us to fix the burnt out socket. He also touched up a mark on one of our light frames with some paint we had at home, dusted our ceiling fan and recaulked our kitchen sink for us. He did an immaculate job, was careful and meticulous and very affordable. Also hard to find ppl willing to come out for small jobs as such so really appreciated his time. Would highly recommend - thanks Mark!

Eletrical work; moving dining room light and installing 3 potlights in bathroom

I needed my dining room light repositioned to the center of the room and update the guest bathroom with 3 new pot lights, move electrical plug and remove light over the mirror.
Mark responded to my request and came when he said he would. He was one of three companies to inspect and quote for this job. He wasn't the cheapest quote but he was the only one who went up into the attic to check options on moving the dining room light placement. I immediately appreciated his eagerness and energy. He worked all day and cleaned up when done for the day. He needed an extra 3 hours to complete the job. Excellent work and really nice guy too! I am working on my to-do list and will be calling on him again. Thanks Mark!

Stone tiles installed beautifully

Mark from MDS is a craftsman when it comes to tiling. He installed 3 areas in my home with stone tiles. He did inside and outside corners, curved areas and very small spaces so carefully that the final result is simply beautiful. We will ask for his services again in the future! I am confident recommending Mark to my friends and family.

Kitchen backsplash, fireplace, installation of appliances

I have found Mark through Home Stars and consider myself very lucky. He exceeded all my expectation. I needed to tile a backsplash in the kitchen and a fireplace using very tricky tiles. Mark has done a wonderful intricate job. He also fixed the sloppy tile job done by somebody else in my bathroom. In addition Mark single-handed installed a heavy gas stove and several other appliances and fixtures. I was amazed how a person can be so multifaceted. Apparently he can do absolutely anything, and do it properly. And he went above and beyond to make me happy with his job. He is neat, diligent and his prices are very reasonable. I am going to hire him again. Thanks Mark!

Wainscoting in Hallway

We recently had Mark do some painting and wainscoting on our main floor. He came to our house to hear what we had in mind for our hallway. Mark was very receptive and helpful with our decisions. We were very satisfied with the end result and would recommend Mark for future projects.
