I can't say enough good things about the renovation that Mark did to our upstairs bathroom. Working with him was a real pleasure! He is reliable, honest and very personable. A bathroom that we once hated, has now become one of our favourite rooms to show off. He always provided us with updates, kept the project on track and finished on time. We are truly in love with the final product and its all thanks to Mark's professionalism and high standards. There is no doubt about it, if you are looking for a hard-working contractor than Mark from Articulous Renovation is your guy!
Mark from Articulous Renovations is a highly courteous and nice contractor that always puts his client's needs first. He is a great listener and a perfectionous. The end resuts of our major kitchen renovation which included removing a utility and load bearing wall exceeded all of our expectations. He was chosen after seeing 10 different contractors by providing us with an option that none of the other contractor suggested which was much better for us but also more difficult for him. This is a testament to his eye for details and putting his client's interest first and foremost. I would highly recommend Mark and his team to anyone. Thanks Mark - we are enjoying our new kitchen so much every day.
Articulous Renovation's was a joy to work with!
Before starting my renovation, I got quotes from a number of companies, including one of the biggest general contractors in Ottawa who estimated $90,000 for the work I had planned. Articulous Renovation's did all that work, plus a number of additional things for $62,000 and I'm confident the quality of the work done was better than it would have been if I had gone with one of the other companies.
I recommend Articulous Renovation's to all my friends and family.
Thank you for the work.
Thank you for being so patient with me.
Thank you for helping me save money wherever possible.
Thanks, Robin!
We hope you love your new space!
Articulous, is a perfect name for this company. The work Mark performed was done meticulously and the result was art worthy.
Mark, for the perfect contractor for us. He was pleasant, very conscientious, and had a high degree of skill.
Mark worked very hard to ensure that both our expectations were the same. He clearly communicated what he needed from us and what we could expect from him (timelines, materials, costs, etc).
I have already recommended to a friend (who coincidentally also wrote a review), and I would recommend him to anybody looking for a renovation.
Mark at Articulous Renovations came highly recommended from a long time friend who also hired him for his washroom renovation. After working with Mark for three weeks, it was very clear why he was so highly recommended. His "always on" positive demeanor, attention to detail, and consideration of what we had in mind for the renovation made him an ideal person to work with. We had nothing but positive experiences with Mark and it would be a pleasure to recommend him for future contract work,
Mark completed this renovation on time and on budget. His professional work and manner were outstanding. I would recommend his work to anyone wishing to have minor or major renovations to their home. Excellent job well done!
Mark did a fantastic job on our home. He did more than we agreed to in scope of the project, finished on time, and kept to the original budget - despite a lot of obstacles that we encountered along the way and changes/additional work to the plan. Mark is a master craftsman, takes pride in his work and always has a positive attitude. He does the carpentry, drywall, and tile work himself and has reliable tradesman partners for the flooring, electrical, and plumbing. I would highly recommend Mark for future work. Project: We renovated about 75% of the ground level of a 50s bungalow: 1. knocked out the old 27" staircase, rotated it 180 degrees and widened it to 40", put four new structural supports in the basement (to support the new stairwell) with 18" deep footings, created an opening in the wall to the stairwell with oak banisters 2. knocked out the old kitchen including supporting walls and put in a new 30 ft supporting beam to open the kitchen into the dining room, redid the ceilings in both the dining room and new kitchen, 3. knocked out the old picture windows in the addition/ reframed the kitchen wall with new windows, installed all new cabinets and island (I designed the kitchen), 4. knocked out the two walls surrounding the central chimney and put in supporting beams (we clad these beams with finish grade plywood and stained them)- this opened up the living room on both sides to the dining room, 5. knocked out the old corridor and old master 1/2 bath beside the old staircase and enlarged the old master bath to a full bath with pocket door leading to the front entryway, created a new walk in closet with the extra space, 6. demoed two original closets and left spaces for built in closets, 7. demoed one bedroom wall and framed out a new wall to make the bedroom larger, 8. created a new front entry space with ceramic tile, 9. subcontracted an electrician to redo the electrical in the entire house and upgrade to a 200A breaker box, 10. referred a plumber to redo the plumbing in the entire house. 11. Referred a flooring contractor, Pat, who did an absolutely amazing job putting in oak hardwood throughout - patching in all of the holes created in the demo, creating a transition from the dining room to the living room, adding flooring to the hallways, and putting the radiant heating and engineering flooring in the kitchen. Referred a floor finishing company as well who did a great job as well - full refinish and stain/urethane. We did about four months worth of work 10 weeks! Everyone that comes to our house is impressed and we have Mark to thank for it. See for yourself in the photos. (Homeowner did the 2D&3D plans / added the watermarks in the photos).
Thank you, Matt. I hope you re still enjoying your beautiful home!

We were extremely pleased with the care & attention to detail provided by Articulous Renovations. Mark Brown made sure that we had as little stress as possible during our Reno & was aways pleasant & courteous. He left the job site neat & tidy & ensured the other trades were lined up & ready to go & on the job when they were supposed to be. We highly recommend this man & this company.
Mark and his team was a pleasure to work with; Mark is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, helpful, responsive and courteous. Our Kitchen and Bathroom is renovated to perfection. The quality of workmanship was excellent, the pricing provided good value and there were no unexpected surprises. Our home is a mid-century home, preserving its character was important to us. Mark and his team respected the age of the house; Mark took the time and the extra step needed to adjust the project in order to preserve the integrity of the house and its charm. The age of our home presented numerous structural challenges; Mark managed them all and solved each problem without any extra costs to us. Communication occurred daily and any questions we had were explained and addressed immediately. We learned a lot from Mark. We love our home and can't wait to have Mark back to finish our basement.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Articulaous Renovations Ltd to anyone looking for quality workmanship at a fair price.
