Mark Andrews Construction LLC

I first contacted Mark Andrews in early July, 2010 to get an estimate to mortise and hang six interior doors. I was immediately impressed by the fact that he was willing to travel about 50 miles (Palm Bay to Port St John) to do a very small ($250) job. Into the bargain, he volunteered to swing by Lowe's on the way up to pick up the doors, which would have been a real pain in the butt to have to do myself. Mark did a great job of prepping and hanging my doors, even pouring a small concrete curb on the outside of one door (leading from the house into the garage). I was so happy with his work that I asked Mark to give me an estimate to paint the exterior of my house. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse - $700 plus materials. I had already received several estimates on the paint job, the lowest of which was $1,200 plus materials. Note that Mark's price was eventually elevated to $900 + materials when I decided I wanted to have my soffits painted too (they weren't included in the original bid.) However, I got that money back because Mark "paid" me $200 to be his helper on the paint job. In the final analysis, it cost me about $2100 plus three days of my own effort to replace virtually all of my interior doors and make the exterior of my house look new again. In terms of his technical know-how and skills as a tradesman, Mark Andrews is extremely capable and very versatile (after all, he's a licensed GC). But there are several important intangibles you also get when you hire this guy: (1) he's extremely hard-working (he had me praying for rain just so I could take a break); (2) he's punctual (he'll be ringing your doorbell around oh-dark-thirty); (3) he's very conscientious about his work; and (4) he's a helluva nice guy. My recommendation: whatever you need done around the house, hire this guy if you can get him.
