Andrew Mark Construction did a great job on my bathroom and adjoining front room. More than five years later, I can STILL recommend the work that they did. I appreciate that they manage the project with clear tools, estimates and timelines. The place continues to look great!

Andrew did a complete kitchen remodel. One wall had a pocket door which had to be removed and the wall rebuilt in order to support new cabinets. He seamlessly co-ordinated replacement of floor, painting, electrical and plumbing with those contractors. He was meticulously in his work and in keeping work areas neat and contained in order to prevent dust from escaping. Work was a few years ago and the kitchen still looks great.

Andrew did a great job of turning a storage room in my attic into a first class bathroom. The job included, among other things, shoring up the floor joists, redoing thr roof, and doing fine carpentry, electrical and plumbing work. He worked well with the designer, fire sprinkler installers, and separate HVAC specialists. He was communicative and easy to get along with.. Highly recommended.

Andrew did a kitchen remodel for us which turned out better than we could have imagined. Every step of the way he helped us to visualize the process. His attention detail was something we especially appreciated. We would recommend Andrew for anything you might be dreaming of in your home.

I recommend, without hesitation, Andrew Gilchrist, and his firm, Andrew Mark Construction, to anyone considering a medium, large, or very large home renovation in and around San Francisco.

I’ve come to understand that there are two types of renovations: Renovate-to-Flip and Renovate-to-Live-in. Andrew is not interested in Renovate-to-Flip jobs. He cares too much about quality and is too good at what he does to waste it on those who are not going to enjoy the benefits of his quality workmanship.

Andrew knows what he’s doing and he’s good at it. He’s been doing it since he was old enough to lift a hammer. He has worked hard to learn the trade and persevered to master it.

Andrew listens to understand what drives clients’ needs and constraints, comes up with ideas and alternatives, and then educates them to make good, responsible, informed decisions. In our good-sized project, he pointed out several items that we would not have thought to address (e.g., smooth out the long first floor wall, remove an old fireplace and chimney to open up the living room and deck area above, hollow out hidden dead spaces to provide additional storage, etc.) and that we are extremely glad we did!

In each case he laid out the rationale for doing something more than we had planned, gave us multiple options, and helped us think through which to follow. He shared his opinions and recommendations but didn’t insist we do what he thought was best. We didn’t always do what he seemed to want but we always appreciated his proactive thinking and thoughtful analysis.

Andrew is an eager learner. He stays abreast of regulations and techniques, studies what others do, and gets advice and training from experts in the construction industry to learn how to run a better back office. He sets himself apart in other ways too. For example, he treats subcontractors well and with respect; he pays fast so subs show-up on time and do their best work to be called upon again.

In summary, Andrew does premium work on large jobs at a reasonable price…on target, on time, and on budget!

We have worked with Andrew and his team at Andrew Mark Construction on multiple small projects over the years. They are our first place to look for support when we need it! They have exceed our expectations for quality on every job.
