Mark and crew were wonderful. Overall the project came in on time (ahead of schedule) and on budget! The basement looks beautiful. The crew was responsive to all my requests, and I could not be happier!

Mark and his team did high quality work and the result was fantastic. When we ran into an unexpected challenge, he and his team came up with a creative, low-cost solution. The job was completed ahead of schedule.

Amazing. I will hire Mark again in a heart beat. From pricing to clean-up to the quality of the job and communications, Mark is top notch. I highly recommend him.

Mark was prompt with giving us a quote and was able to schedule the work quickly to meet our timetable. Work was of good quality and exactly what we were looking for.

Couldn't be happier with the work on our basement. The project went very smoothly and finished a day early. We live in a small home built in 1940 and wanted our basement to feel like part of our home and not a separate area. Mark was able to match our trims and baseboard. They also use the correct products and have options for moisture control. The room looks fantastic, doesn't look or smell like a basement and we never have to empty our dehumidifier again!

Mark is a pro's pro. His and his team's deep experience with basement remodels was clear from our first meeting, and their organization and professionalism was evident from beginning to end of the project. Our initial consultation resulted in a fully detailed quote, which had different options for my wife and I to consider. Once construction began, we made a few minor changes and had some new ideas. The team was accommodating, creative, and Mark made sure to adjust the quote as we went along so that expectations were clear on both sides. I had to do a little leg-work (which Mark was up-front about), such as designing a set of built-in shelves and placement/wiring of home theater components, but the team contributed their expertise and executed everything perfectly. They also came up with a really cool under-stair storage idea, custom-building doors to fit the space. The project was completed on budget, slightly ahead of schedule, and we ended up with a comfortable, well built, multi-function space that my family will enjoy for decades.

We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the work done by Mark and his team. Mark has a great group of guys working with him and it is clear they know what they're doing.

I'd recommend them. They were great. They always had a number of people here working on it. He's everything that you would want from a contractor. The shame is that he only does basements.

Mark and his team were great from start to finish. During the initial scoping visit to discuss the project, he provided suggestions and options that we hadn't thought about of heard from other contractors. By the end of that week, Mark turned around a highly detailed, itemized quote, including cost and information for some optional items we discussed, as well as a detailed floor plan, which helped visualize the space. Everything was very professional, well thought out and easy to understand. Once the project started, Mark or project manager Joe, were onsite almost daily and progress could be seen right away. They would keep us in the loop daily with everything that was happening, progress, issues, questions, etc. Everyone involved, including the subs (electrical, plumbing, plaster), were professional, knowledgeable, worked with purpose and kept the area neat and tidy day after day. The project started and finished on-time and we couldn't be happier with the end results. The quality, craftsmanship and finishwork detail is excellent. For future projects, MD England and Sons is the only call I need to make and highly recommend them!

We are extremely happy with Mark and his crew. The entire project went smooth . There were no hidden charges and Mark kept us informed every step of the way. They were thorough, talented and professional . His crew is courteous and cleans up at the end of the each day. Price was very competitive as well . I would work with Mark again in a heartbeat. Check out the pictures !

Top notch! Mark and his crew are courteous, professional, punctual and diligent. Their estimates were reasonable particularly for the quality of work they did: such attention to detail! They always cleaned up after themselves at the end of every single day they worked, and their craftsmanship is simply superb. Our home is a unique antique home from the 1700s and I don't ever want anyone besides MD England and Sons to ever do work on it as long as we own it!

Terrific from start to finish. Mark was a true professional throughout, and his team was just superb. My wife and I (who admittedly can be a bit picky) were impressed throughout the entire project: 1) During the 'planning phase' Mark was more than willing to make any/all changes we asked him to consider, and helped us think through many options to stay within our budget. 2) During the 'waiting phase' Mark updated us to let us know if we were on track to start as planned and to let us know what we should do to prepare for the work. 3) During the 'work phase' Mark's team was courteous, clean, organized, and detail-oriented. They even consulted with us as the building occurred and allowed for us to make minor revisions to better suit our needs. The space turned out perfectly with virtually no hiccups along the way. There was one item that the building inspector really focused on (specific to our house) which could not have been anticipated but did require some additional work. Mark was transparent throughout and did his best to minimize the cost. 4) During the 'wrap up phase' Mark was happy to return to the house to look at 1-2 items we had questions on. From start to finish MD England and Sons was great. Mark was communicative and reasonable, and his team was meticulous and held high standards. I would highly recommend and certainly use MD England and Sons again.

We could not be happier with the outcome of our basement remodel or the process. We will be using Mark again for our next home improvement project! Mark and his team were professional and great to work with. We were first struck by how detailed Mark was in his proposal/estimate. After we spoke with Mark, we received a detailed plan that included the scope of work, cost as well as optional upgrades. This allowed us to track and fit any changes to the original plan into our budget. When Mark and his team started the project (right on time) they were professional and hard-working. The project went smoothly and Mark was always very responsive to all of our questions and comments. Mark was able to take our general ideas and turn them into a stunning family space. His teams attention to detail was exceptional. We can not wait to have Mark and his team tackle our bathrooms. We would highly recommend Mark and will continue to use him for future improvements to our home.

Mark's team did an outstanding job with the work that we asked. And when it came to some decisions that we had not made yet, Mark or his site supervisor provided excellent recommendations. They entire team has a knack for detail and worked very quickly. The job was completed on time and within budget. His team even helped me clear out part of my basement in order to accommodate for a last minute decision that we had to expand the scope of work and finish up an additional part of the basement. I plan on calling on Mark and his team for future work.

Mark and his team were exceptional. From the beginning, I was impressed with Mark's professionalism and thoughtfulness. I met with at least a dozen contractors when getting estimates; Mark was the only one who provided a professional-looking, itemized estimate that clearly explained each part of the job and its cost. He also provided a floor plan that was helpful for visualizing the project. I appreciated that Mark was not just a rubber-stamp. He had ideas of his own, and was willing to work with me to think through each decision. It gave me confidence that what we were doing was the right thing, each time, and was far more helpful than the "Sure, whatever you want" attitude I encountered with other contractors. When the work began, everything went smoothly, and Mark was great about communicating the progress and let us know when something needed to be tweaked, or if there was another decision we needed to make. The work was top notch, and everything went off without a hitch. On top of it all, Mark and his team were just pleasant to work with. They were courteous and considerate, even sweeping up after themselves when they had to walk through the main floor. Mark even surprised us with a dozen eggs from his own hens (and they were excellent!). I had never undertaken a job of this size, and was understandably nervous about what might happen, but Mark put me at ease, and the ease with which the project was completed (both on time, and on budget), exceeded my most optimistic expectations. I highly recommend M.D. England & Sons, and would absolutely work with them in the future.

"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thanks for your great review! This was a fun project to take on as it offered some unique twists and turns, as the home was originally a church! You and [Removed Member Name] were a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to handling future projects for you as the need arises. I hope your parents enjoy their new space!"

From the day we received the proposal, we knew Mark was the right choice. The level of detail is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Not only did he lay out all the work to be done, he included the estimates for labor and materials as well as allowances for optional items. By doing this we had a great idea of what the all-in price would look like making our decisions easier so we could track where we were in regards to our budget. Mark and Joe were unbelievably responsive with our requests and any concerns or changes we needed to make. It was quite refreshing in a time when you tend to hear more horror stories about contractors than you do good ones. The rest of team was also fantastic and very professional, working hard and cleaning up after themselves. We are very happy with the quality of the craftsmanship as well and love spending time in the new family room. They basically took our ideas and with some of their suggestions turned the bare basement into the room we were truly hoping for. I cannot say enough great things about Mark and all the guys he has working with him. I have and will continue to recommend him to others.

I hired Mark to refinish the basement to my mother's home in Newton, and remodel two bathrooms, in preparation to sell the home. I was looking for someone that could do quality work that would appeal to high-end home buyers in Newton at a fair price. I met with three contractors from Angie's List - all top-rated. Mark not only had the best price of the three but also the best ideas for how to finish off the basement space. I could tell right away that Mark had a lot of experience with basement remodels. I hired Mark and the project went well throughout. Both he, his crews, and the plumbing and electrical sub-contractors he uses were good people that performed quality work. The project was completed on time and on budget. Communication was excellent. Best of all, the house attracted several offers in the first weekend and sold for above asking. Thanks Mark!

We moved into a house with an existing 2nd floor deck and a few people noticed it had a little bit of a sway to it. I sent an email to Mark hoping he could assess any necessary work that would be needed to strengthen the deck. He responded to my email almost immediately and showed up to analyze the job the very next day. Mark took a look at the deck and assured me that we were not in any imminent danger (i.e., the deck falling down), but there were a few recommendations he had to mitigate any risk. We thought it over for about a week, and followed up with Mark with a few other questions for the job. Again, he responded almost immediately. Because of his honesty, timely responses, and knowledge, we knew he was our guy.
I scheduled a work day for Mark and his guys to come. They actually came the day before to walkthrough the job and bring all their materials over. On work day, his team arrived right on time as scheduled and finished the job in just a few hours. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves, as if they were never there. Mark also had his guys reinforce the staircase to the deck, without me even requesting they do so. Now, the deck definitely feels stronger and safer. We look forward to having company over when it warms up and not having to worry about any accidents.
Big thanks to the M D England and Sons team for helping us out!

Mark arrived within a week of my calling for a quote on my complete large porch renovation. He measuered the porch drew pland and within a week following sent me a quote for the project. It was complete with many pages of drawings and detailed costs for the work that needed to be done. the $50,000. quote was reasonable for this job and we would have gone with Mark if a past carpenter who worked for did not show up. Very professional....

Mark England is a one of a kind person, someone you can actually feel like you can trust right from the get go. We were looking for someone to fix some damage to our house caused by ice dams and made several phone calls. Since everyone around MA was dealing with this, we had several businesses not even call us back, but Mark personally called my husband to ask him what we
needed and said that he would be able to fit us in between big jobs he had going. When he came to our house for the consultation, he was friendly and honest, approaching what needed to be done by saying, ?If this were my house, this is what I?d do.? Immediately we knew we had the contracting business we could trust. When it came to the work, his guys were clean and professional. We have a baby and I was worried about any dust and debris being left around in between when he was able to come back, but everything was immaculate. The ceiling in my son?s room (That used to be an old drop ceiling) is the most impressive, beautiful job well done. Mark worked well with our insurance company, and in the future when we work on doing some updating, Mark England is the one and only person we will call!
