He was efficient, professional and very easy to work with - I will definitely be contacting him again for future work.
Description of Work: Mark was here to do several small jobs (rehanging cabinet doors, installing art on plaster walls, etc.) and did all of them without issue - he also came up with two good solutions, one involving a rail that needed to be removed temporarily and a second relating to a light fixture in our entryway.

Originally the estimate was for 2 days, but with the extend of the wafer damage the project extended 2 additional days. I understand that the scope had to increase, but this was not communicated very well. The quality of work was pretty good, I asked Mark to finish with cement board so I can tile and the backerboard installation was done very well. My biggest gripe was the last day when he left all the debris in the house. I had to call him back to pack up all the debris. This should have been done automatically.
Description of Work: Bathroom remodeling: gut existing rotted bathroom, reinstall tub and toilet and subfloor.

I appreciated Mark's professionalism.
Description of Work: I called Mark about repairing a leaking door. He answered the phone right away and professionally and politely said he would love to do the work, but was swamped and wasn't accepting work in Marin currently because he wouldn't be able to get to it in a timely manner. Having had other experiences with handymen who dragged out the schedule for weeks because they didn't want to turn down business, he gets an "A" in my book for being professional and honest about his schedule.

We had an extensive punch list that Mark knocked out in about 3-4 days. We were extremely satisfied.

He was very professional and I would certainly use him again.
Description of Work: Mark repaired an old carved wood banister that a previous owner had pulled out of the wall and broken into several pieces. Since this is an extremely long banister (14 stairs) we wanted it securely attached to the wall. Mark did an excellent job. It is safely attached to the wall and looks great.

Attaching the objects to the wall required special fasteners which the provider had in his truck. The work was performed in record time and the cleanup (which is important in a toddler's bedroom) was thorough.
Description of Work: The job consisted of attaching a number of objects to a wall which was not standard drywall. The handyman arrived on time with his assistant and efficiently executed the task in hand. The price was right and the attitude courteous. We are very satisfied.

Excellent. Mark was very responsive to my email and always showed up on time and when he said he would. In fact to get the project moving along he brought someone else in to help who was also great. He took great care in completing everything and was quite meticulous. He was also very flexible with my schedule and worked around having a dog in the house. I will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Mark installed a new drywall ceiling, replaced baseboard moldings, some stair treads, and provided a skim coating over a wall which was just plywood.

He first came and gave me an estimate. There were 3 visits. He went and got the door and then replaced it. He did a great job. He charged less than another quote that I got. That guy said it was beyond the scope of what he could do. I still need to paint it but it looks great. We did get our wires crossed. Basically he did come when he said he was going to come but getting to that point was a little tricky. I am going to use him again.

He was here for few hours. He nailed one of the book shelves too hard and did not tell us about it. It was assembled furniture and we found a hole in it. He was then working on the other bookshelf and he left the work incomplete. I did not call him back after that. He should have told me that he had damaged the shelf. He is not consistent. I will not use him again in the future.
Description of Work: Mark D Adams is our handyman. We have used him a couple of times. I used him in June to assemble two bookshelves.

Mark was very friendly, efficient and professional and fixed all the problems I had for him. We had a slight hic cup for our initial appointment due to double booking but Mark came the next day and was sincerely apologetic. I also appreciated Mark pointing out some other dry rot that I had not noticed, this is not work he would do so he wasn't not just bidding for new work. I would definitely hire Mark again.

He did a very quick and efficient job for me. He told me how to deal with the roof problem. He was able to evaluate certain things, which I was not able to evaluate. He gave me a really nice service, and I would use him again. I will recommend him.

Response from MARK D. ADAMS
Painting a large bedroom apt IS in my scope of work. Perhaps it was not in your price range. Strange you gave me a D when I did not even work for you. Thanks.

Mark was creative, friendly, and professional. He went out of his way to get the parts I needed for various aspects of the jobs I needed completed. I will definitely be using him again.
Description of Work: Mark did a bunch of work for me. I had some wine glass racks I needed hung under my kitchen cabinets and Mark made sure they were placed low enough that the glassware could slide in and out easily, even though he had to add a piece of wood to do this. He also installed plexiglass in my bedroom window and created a custom hole to vent the portable a/c unit I wanted to use. He put together a complicated dog house and a rolling rack I wanted to use.

Mark checked it out, said he could do it in a day. He proposed making a support out of redwood, laying laminate glass over it and sealing it with silicone or whatever. I ordered and paid for the glass, Mark picked it up on the way to the house on the day agreed to. He brought the other supplies -- wood, etc. -- at the same time. Taking out the old overhang went fairly quickly, but when he put the glass up to fit it into the wood framing he'd built, it turned out there was slight angle to the walls, meaning the glass fit fine at the front edge, but was too wide in the back. I had never thought to measure both ends, but Mark realized he could make it work if he could get 1/2-inch cut off. Vacarezza Glass, where I had bought the piece, had no one in the shop who could make the cut at the moment, but Mark called and found someone at Sunset Glass who could. He took it in his truck when he went to lunch, paid for the cut, and came back and finished the job. In the end, he worked so well, he finished early. He billed for his time, plus reimbursement on the cut, and we're very happy with the result. I'd call him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: We had a plastic overhang on our front door that had clouded and warped over the years. Additionally, the metal framing was rusting, staining the wall. We wanted to replace the plastic with glass. We need someone who could figure out the best way to do it, and who was comfortable working with stucco.

We are very pleased with the work, and feel like Mark provided good value for the price. Once he had signed on to do the work, he was on time and professional at every visit. He worked at an hourly rate, rather than guaranteeing a fixed price, and came in on the lower end of his estimate.
Description of Work: An unfortunate plumbing disaster left a hole in a wall in our living room and damaged the paint in the stairwell below. Mark patched the drywall, used tape and mud to make the wall flat, primed and painted.

We have just moved into an old Victorian home in San Francisco. Immediate safety needs were a grab bar over the tub and attaching tall bookcases to the wall. We called Mr. Adams based on Angie's list reports. He responded promptly and arrived on the agreed date on time. He was properly prepared to drill and mount the grab bar which he did beautifully. The tall bookcases were another matter. He felt the restraints we had purchased were inadequate and recommended against installing them. He examined the placement area and described a different method to more solidly anchor the bookcases. He did not have enough lumber on his truck to do all four so we postponed that job. Instead he installed three sliding shelves in the kitchen cabinets. He was pleasant and very direct. We will use him again.
