When it was time to renovate my vacation home in Woodstock, NY, I was apprehensive after hearing many “horror stories” regarding disreputable contractors.  However, upon meeting Mark, his professionalism and calming demeanor brought a sense of trust and confidence in his abilities and ultimate work. He listened to my initial request, was accommodating in making many changes and offered many helpful and wise suggestions. Mark demonstrated an attention to detail, was able to work within my budget keeping me informed with the progress via e-mail and photos leaving no room for surprises. He always encouraged me to be part of the project.  He assisted with the transformation of my Woodstock home into the haven I always knew I had.

Mark  has done a lot of work on our rustic style, hand cut log home  in Woodstock over the past 7 years.   His craftsmanship is amazing and he always showed up on time.  Our property has a real rustic look and Mark was great at researching and finding the right products that blended in so well that they looked original.  The last project he did for us was a large carport/ woodshed structure.  He managed every aspect of the job from start to finish, and it ended up looking great and functioning perfectly.  We ended up making a change in the design mid-way through the job and the price increase was reasonable.   And while this may sound odd to say, Mark is such a nice guy and so easy to have around, that it didn't even feel like a "contractor" was on our property.

Chestnut Hill Renovations has completed three different projects for us. Their skill and craftsmanship are top-notch and their prices are fair. Mark has an amazing aesthetic eye, takes great pride in his work, and he offers innovative solutions to make sure you are totally happy with every detail of the project. It is a pleasure to work with a contractor with integrity.

Chestnut Hill Renovations did a wonderful job of installing new windows and doors in our house (and not a minute too soon, given the winter we've just lived through!), as well as painting the master bedroom and building an elegant floor-to-ceiling bookcase there. Mark & Gary were a pleasure: responsible, tasteful, careful, on-time workers, who left their work spaces clean and neat and discussed modern French poetry with us, into the bargain.

Mark is a superior craftsman and skillfully accommodates custom requests. Also: dependable, tidy, and respectful.
