I had a great experience with McKenzie Construction. Marcus was very easy to work with, very communicative, and made the whole process feel straightforward and stress free!! We reached out to have him take on a full remodel. He took time to explain things clearly and was always responsive when I had questions. The remodel was done on time and with a lot of care. Marcus was very professional, respectful of the space, and clearly takes pride in doing quality work. Everything turned out exactly how I had hoped! Overall I really felt I could trust Marcus to get the job done right, and that makes a world of a difference. I absolutely most definitely recommend Marcus and McKenzie Construction and would work with him again!!! read more

We couldn't be happier with the results of our recent remodel. We had a new office space created with the installation of a sliding glass wall system. We opened up a wall in a guest bedroom and installed a new window to enjoy our view of the Puget Sound. And Marcus and his team also installed a concrete pad for our future hot tub. They executed all this in 5 short days and with perfection! Everything looks Incredible and we are loving it! Thank you! read more

I had a change of heart from large tile to a complicated herringbone pattern. Marcus was very patient with me and listed to what I wanted. He was upfront with everything from his availability to costs, from his extra time and my last-minute change in materials. I LOVE my bath remodel and now the master bath is my favorite room in our home. I can't wait to have Marcus back to do our laundry room. read more

Marcus remodeled our guest bathroom in late spring of this year. He gave useful suggestions when we presented our plan, stayed in communication, cleaned up everyday, and let us know what to expect as the project progressed. He also was willing to adjust the scope of the job when required. The job was complicated, as expected, by a suspected leak that had to be located and mitigated before the actual remodel could be started. When one cabinet was not installed to our satisfaction, he fixed it. Overall, Marcus did an excellent job and we would not hesitate to recommend him. read more

I highly recommend McKenzie Construction! The work is top notch. My kitchen remodel was completed in a timely manner meeting all deadlines. This is a fair, quality company and no details were left out. Thanks for our beautiful new kitchen! read more

We have known Marcus for more than 10years and have seen his work multiple times. He converted our garage to an office approximately 6years ago and we were extremely happy with the results. Friends of ours who know more about construction were also highly impressed when the saw the project mid way through as well as the end result. We were advised that he was doing it "the right way." Most recently we had him do a complete remodel on our kitchen. He walked through he job with us and gave us some ideas as we were trying to figure out the layout, he gave us his opinion on functionality (we asked), and also guided us a bit on the cabinet finishes we were contemplating. He is extremely detail oriented and thought of things we appreciate but would not have thought about until after the fact, he coordinated all the contractors, he hustled our job and got us done under he timeframe he quoted and kept up apprised if issues as they came up and gave us options to handle those issues (once he got into the job he discovered subfloor issues and some plumbing issues that needed to be addressed). He showed up on time and cleaned up each day. I never for one second question if he is doing right by me. I know when I hire Marcus that I'm going to get excellent work, a completed job and his standards are high- so even work that I think might be good- he's not done until HE thinks it's good. When we did the office we took time to get multiple bids and even though Marcus was not the cheapest bid we went with him because I knew the job would be completed and done very well. When it came to the kitchen I didn't even bother getting multiple bids as I trusted this job to Marcus. BTW- one of our family members started a full kitchen remodel the same week we did, similar small kitchen gutted as was ours. They are still 2-3 weeks out on their job and we have been in our kitchen for over a week already. Marcus is worth every penny we've spent with him. read more

Marcus came recommended to us by some realtor friends of ours and he has done various bits of work for us over the past year and a half (across two houses), including - a brand new bathroom addition, replacement for a water damaged wall, tiling, hardwood flooring and a bunch of other small jobs. He gives good solid and competitive estimates and is extremely reliable and competent. He is detail oriented, cleans up after himself and his tile and drywall work has been absolutely first rate. He is also a generally nice guy. He runs a small company where he does the bulk of the work. He has been doing this for almost 20 years and will take small as well as large jobs. We have had no reason to look for another person since we started working with him 15 months ago. read more

Marcus the owner was fair and competitive on his bid for very high quality work. I converted the lower level of my house into a 2 bedroom apartment. His quality in finish work was impeccable! My late husband built my house and was a great carpenter, he would have been very pleased with the finished product. Marcus was on time completing the job, quoting 30 days and delivering on it. This is unusual in the construction business. The consideration he showed in his leaving the job very clean daily showed how much he cared about his work. I highly recommend Marcus! read more

I was very pleased with the bathroom remodel Marcus did for me. The cost was very reasonable, the quality of his work impeccable and (most important to me) he started and finished ahead of the time he estimated. I was so impressed that I had Marcus rebuild my deck. His quote was the lowest of five I received, and the result was even better that I had envisioned. I cannot recommend McKenzie Construction more. read more

Marcus helped us install a hose bib in the back of our house. He did a great job, quickly and at a very fair price. We also had him look at some other updates we wanted to make. Rather than immediately agree to make the changes (and take our money), he gave us an honest assessment and suggested that we go a different route. He even provided us with contacts and resources that we could work with! It's obvious that Marcus has his customer's best interest in mind, even if that means that he doesn't do the work. That will get him future business from us and an A+ referral. read more

I set up a consultation with Marcus to estimate both replacement of our back deck and re-tiling of our master bath shower & bathtub. We arranged a time about two weeks in advance. The day before this first appointment he sent me an e-mail that "I have a lot of work and I think it would be a waist [sic] of time on my part." That may have been so but he handled the situation and communication very unprofessionally. read more

I setup an in home estimate with Marcus to get a quote on laminate floor installation. He was on time, friendly and straight forward which I liked. However, when it came to my stairs, he said it would be better if I left them carpet because "the technology for laminate floors isn't up to par and looks tack when it comes to the lip of the stairs." The more I read about this, I found out that this wasn't true. I found it a bit hard to believe myself when I first heard it, as I felt that it was a bit ridiculous that in the year 2013 laminate flooring manufactures biggest enemy/problem was stairs. I later read that laminate installation on stairs takes longer than a standard flat floor, that makes sense. He told me they charge by the square foot, I got the impression he didn't feel it was worth his time to do the stairs; putting his wallet first, instead of the customer. read more

I am so impressed with Marcus the owner of McKenzie Constrution. His attention to detail and out of the box thinking was remarkable. I had him do an assortment of handyman projects and was amazed how fast and easy it was. You name it he takes care of it all! read more

Marcus arrives on time, gets the job done on time, and the result is wonderful! He has good suggestions but also listens to what you have to say. He cleans up afterwards and CARES about getting the job done right. He totally remodeled our condo and now it looks like a million bucks. He's your guy. read more

We found Marcus on yelp and liked him immediately. We were very impressed with how neat and clean everything was during construction. Our kitchen remained usable despite having a wall removed. The project took exactly as long as he said it would (does that ever happen?) and the cost was fair and competitive. The finished product is great; better than I had hoped and Marcus even helped us out with another small project, free of charge. I strongly recommend McKenzie Construction for any big or small project. read more

Marcus helped me install a high-end, in-ground basketball hoop. I was seriously impressed with how professional and prepared he was for the job. Just couldn't be happier with the outcome. read more

Marcus was awesome and did a great job remodeling my master bathroom. From bid to project completion, you can count on Marcus to do high quality work and show up every day ready to work very hard. He excels at attention to detail and is a great counselor throughout the remodel process. I highly recommend him. read more

Marcus was a pleasure to work with, and I am 100% satisfied with everything he did for my house. We worked together to create a plan, which included everything from substantial interior and exterior wall repairs to putting knobs on my kitchen cabinets. He took care of everything in two days for a very reasonable price, was meticulous and creative in his craft, and respectful of my property, leaving everything neater and cleaner after he was finished than when he started. Looking forward to working with him again on my next batch of projects. read more

Marcus did a FABULOUS job on our house. Our foundation posts had severe water damage (4 out of the 7 posts were no longer attached to the ground!) and Marcus was able to replace all posts in a very timely manner. He is reliable, trustworthy, and has very reasonable prices--I would trust him to do any work on our house in the future! read more

He did the work fast, cheap, and amazingly well. The quality was better than I'd hoped. Hire him -- you won't be sorry.

Marcus was recommended to us by a neighbor. Responsive, competent, detail oriented, friendly and reasonable . . . he is a pleasure to work with. I recommend him wholeheartedly! read more

Marcus recently installed a new fireplace and mantel for us. He was a pleasure to work with, took time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided updates throughout the process. The fireplace turned out great and he completed ahead of schedule. We can't wait to work with him again! read more

I called Marcus because my downtown building management office came back with a really high bid from their "preferred vendor" on a kitchen sink replacement. Marcus was very professional on the phone and asked for some specs, and then came downtown at his own expense to meet me and do a free in-office bid, and rescheduled the appointment for a day later without fuss when I came down with a cold. He came in well under the building's bid, but I was unable to use him due to our building's insurance requirements being beyond what a private contractor would typically carry. The least I can do is recommend him to others! read more
