For the last 3 years, my wife and I have used Warnaar Construction a number of times. In the summer of 2015, Mark helped my wife and I make our kitchen a reality. This was a complete gut-rehab. He moved a wall, completely rewired the kitchen, laid a new floor and floated it into the existing hallway floor (hardwood maple), installed new cabinets, moved the drain lines to put the sink in front of the window, added a dishwasher and crafted a pretty sweet washer dryer enclosure.
Most recently, Mark did a repair job on our first floor. A corner of the plaster ceiling in the living room was falling away from the lathe. He was able to quickly cut out the deteriorated section and replace, mud, prime and paint over a two-day period. In addition, before our most recent tenants moved in, Mark painted the entire place (2 bed, 1 bath) over the course of a 3 day period. In addition, during this time he was able to do some repair work throughout (drywall, carpentry, etc.)
His work is reliable and consistent. I will echo another poster, Mark continues to have work, so its best to contact him ahead and schedule in advance. His bids are both fair and honest (something hard to come by).
We will continue to work with Mark

My husband and I hired Mark to paint our condo and do some tiling work in the kitchen. We were really pleased with the results! Mark was professional, communicative, timely and gave a fair price. We will most likely go with him again for our next construction project.

He is a great craftsman and has a real eye for design. He does quality work at a very good price. I'm definitely going to use him again.

I am so glad we found Mark for our recent painting needs! He provided a very fair estimate and got the job done quickly! Mark is professional and did a wonderful job! We will hire Mark for future construction and painting needs.

Mark is truly a craftsman who did a fantastic job on a complete gutting and transformation of our bathroom in our 1920's home. He takes great pride in his work and has a remarkable eye for detail which shows in his results - just beautiful!
Mark went the extra mile on what turned out to be a very complicated job....for example he leveled the ceiling even though it was not in the scope of our contract. He is a problem solver with great skills and a wonderful disposition...worth hiring again and again!
We highly recommend Mark and plan to hire him again in the future.

Having had work done by Mark, and knowing many, many other satisfied customers, I think potential clients can feel confident in Mark's competence and ethics.

Mark redid our entire bathroom, which included floor tiling, installation of toilet and vanity, wall tiling. He was also able remove large plaster box covering our old light-fixture, re-plaster the wall, and to do some impressive electrical work to install a new one. He was honest, professional, and hardworking. We were very happy with the results, would hire him again, and will recommend him to our friends.

Mark remodeled our bathroom. The work was done in a timely fashion, was relatively inexpensive and we are very proud of how beautiful it looks. He did a fantastic job. There were beige ceramic floor tiles on the floor but also all the walls and shower; it looked disgusting. So Mark had to not only put down new ceramic floor tiles but glass tiles for shower and also drywall/painting work on the other walls with new trim for floor and doors.
We also asked him to put in some under floor heating. In order to pull it all together Mark had to think on his feet and communicate his ideas in order to get it right. We would definitely use him and his team again and highly recommend him to others.

We have hired Mark for a number of projects, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling several years apart. Needless to say, we were very pleased with his work and continued to engage his services. We will be hiring Mark again in the near future to do some wall repairs and painting in our dining room. He is somebody who greatly cares about the quality of his work and stands by the final product. Mark is someone you can trust to make suggestions during a project and incorporate changes as needed.
Most important to my wife and me
are his honesty and his commitment
to ensuring we were satisfied after completion. When engaging a contractor to work on your house, removing any doubt about the quality of work and the price of the project is
a huge relief.

Mark designed a gorgeous built-in-bookcase and design and remodeled the box on my fireplace based on
my very sketchy ideas. His common sense and knowledge and skill with materials helped met to visualize and brought both projects to a wonderful conclusion. I could not be happier! Thanks Mark!

I hired Mark for a number of small projects and he did each one very well. He showed up when he said he would, worked hard, did very nice work and even came back on a Saturday morning to finish up one little area of
a wall. He painted; did floor tiling; and made a wall that had a zillion picture hanger flaws look great. I will definitely hire him again. Nice guy; good work; very fair price - beat the competition easily!

Clearly Mark does good work and thus books out in advance, which is a great sign of quality and repeat clients. Mark gave us a great bid and was very detailed in his approach. We ended up going with someone else because we needed it done that week for a real estate listing. For future work we will use Mark and give more lead time so that we can!
