Excellent work, professional.Posted on K FisherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend. John is very professional, kind, talented, experienced, organized, easy to work with, etc. Overall great experience.👍👍👍👍👍Posted on Maureen SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very impressed with Mackenzie Contracting from beginning to end. John responded quickly to my phone call, visited for an estimate in a timely manner and then sent a proposal/ contract email within 24 hours. John gave us a date to compete the work and sent a text as a reminder to expect him on the date we agreed upon. John arrived on time and he was very friendly and professional. He did excellent work replacing the window jam and the trim even though there were unexpected issues. John measured for an additional project and sent an estimate shortly thereafter. We look forward to him doing further work at our home. We would highly recommend Mackenzie Contracting for any work you may need at your home or business.Posted on Teri KopieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent work and service highly recommendPosted on Controller MikeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This young man was recommended to us by our exterminating company. They told me that he was just starting out, and said he would do a good job, so, we’re always willing to give a local small business a try. I called and told him the work I needed done, and John gave us a time he’d come out to assess the project. He arrived on time and said he’d have an estimate to us by the following day, which he did. After a review of the work he was going to do, we accepted the offer, and he gave us a date & time. Once again he texted us with his time of arrival, and again arrived on time. In all honesty, I thought the job would be to small, and he wouldn’t want to do it, but I was wrong. He removed a crawl space window & framed it out and sealed it up with weather treated wood, and replaced a 3 way light switch in our kitchen. The area he work for the window was under a back porch, where he’d have to basically lay on his back for it to be done, one of the reasons I’d thought he decline the job, but he didn’t. He took pictures each stage of the work, to show us the before and after. John is worth a call, if you’re going to need work done. We are completely satisfied, and I’m sure you will also. I wish you much success young man, and will not hesitate to call you with any future projects we’ll have. Respectfully Mike Rubba.Posted on Michelle ZibulskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John has completed a variety of small to medium size carpentry jobs at my home. His work is exceptional. He is professional, courteous, timely and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.Posted on Kate SimmermonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for a reliable contractor, you found him! John is personable, listens to what you want, and does great work. He is great at communicating on when he will be over to start and complete the job. We wanted custom framing in our bedroom to help update the space, he did exactly what I wanted from inspiration photos I saved. I highly recommend him.Posted on Sarah BanskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had been searching for a reliable licensed/insured contractor for over a year to assist with projects at our property. John came highly recommended and did not disappoint! He is a man of integrity, shows up when he promises, very communicative, and of course does quality work. We are EXTREMELY PLEASED and cannot say enough about & the quality of his company. 100% satisfied! Thank you, John!!
