Evolution Carpentry Inc.

Mark and his team have all of the qualities in a contractor that I was looking for. He worked with me iteratively to arrive on a best case solution. Mark was very clear about the direction of the project, I never felt like there were any surprises. He was both personable and professional in his conduct and work ethic. I would not hesitate hiring Evolution again.

Mark and his team were outstanding. They did a great job and were able to match to the upstairs finishes. We keep getting compliments on how well done the work is. We are very happy with how things turned out.

His tea was respectful, professional, and quiet. They would clean up at the end of the day so the mess was minimal. The music was kept low so we were not disturbed, and most of all with a young child, they did not swear, yell or talk rudely. They were very calm and worked very hard.

Mark also had to deal with a couple of changes we asked for, and manage a trade that wasn't meeting expectations. He kept us informed, and handled it well so it wasn't a burden on us.

His prices were reasonable, his skill level high, and we really respected him as a business owner. We looked at over ten quotes and went with Mark... Save yourself the time and just go with him as well. You will not be disappointed.

Mark and his crew did fantastic work. I found him actually through the review of this website(TrustedPros). Set up meeting with Mark after his quote and he also showed me the job his company was working on right at that time.

After review and discussion with Mark we set up our framing schedule and the whole work went bang on. Mark and his crew did absoutely awesome work. that I would like to sum up in 3 highlights:

1). Professionalism: simple exceptional. attention to detail. Before the job starts, Mark already made a few founds on the drawings and, along with the solutions/recommendations that is economical and practical. Work very hard to meet and beyond the standard and schedule. During the process, he walked extra miles to reach out to various trades to make sure the whole project goes along well with all the moving targets. In essence, one of the most important work in Mark's hands, I know for the fact this house is going to be a solid gem!

2). Attention to detail: one thing Mark tried very hard and did excellent job is to get the problems and issues spotted way ahead of time. Instead of waiting for the last minute when it is about to happen, Mark is able to point out the potential issues in very earlier stage so that we were ahead of the game to get these problems resolved. The result is peace in my mind and great saving on time and money.

3). Mark and his crew holds high standard and integrity. by the job they do, you can tell they are ambitious and treat my project as their own. A few extra work he did were not even in the scope we agreed, but because they are going to be great add-ons for the long-term quality of the house, he recommended and only charge the material, without add the labor, which as a builder, I knew he needs to put extra hours. Simply put, he is not just doing my project, he is caring OUR project. which is the part shows his real passion of doing a great job that bring him and his crew true happiness and pride.

In the end, the very first job Mark did for us, on time, on budget and I will rate it as a A+.

I would like to recommend Mark to anyone who is serious to build a solid house and he earned my trust and I am confident he will earn yours too.

Mark is very reliable, conscientious and willing to work with you to help you achieve the results that you desire. The workmanship is excellent. He is good at explaining all pro's/con's and alternative solutions. We are very happy with him and his crew and would hire him again.

First class job done on time and on budget. Totally professional and a great result. A definite recommend for any level of carpentry project.

Working with Mark and his team from Evolution Carpentry exceeded our expectations in every way -- good communication, sound advice, a reliable timeline, as well as expert craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Mark Shaheen (Evolution Carpentry) designed and built two projects for our small condo complex last year (2015). The first, a retaining wall and fences dividing three properties, has added great curb appeal to our building. Neighbours have complimented us on the great work. The second project was a fence at the back of the property, shared with our neighbours next door. Again, the work is superb. Throughout both builds, Mark and his crew showed great respect for the site, for our concerns, and for the work they were doing. We would definitely use Evolution Carpentry for further work for us.
