Description of Work: Mike Southworth, owner of Mako Construction installed 24 Integrity by Marvin double hung fiber glass windows replacing our original wooden double hung windows. He also removed one existing window and repaired the vinyl siding. One problem we had was once the old windows were removed and the new windows installed there was a small amount of wood left exposed around the exterior of the new fiber glass windows. It was important to me that there would be no wood exposed around the exterior window frames. Mike fabricated, using a PVC composite material, flat molding which covered and sealed the exposed wood eliminating future painting of this exposed wood. |Overall the project went very well.

[Member name removed], Truly one of the best clients I've known having been doing this for 25yrs. Every issue we encountered, a good common sense solution was arrived at and Bob understood the problem. Never an extra charge...just something that came with the project. Again, grateful for the work and the chance to solve the whole windows problem. Very best,

The service was awesome. Mike Southworth is the owner and there are occasions when he cannot come but he always communicates why that is and that is very appreciated. I will certainly use him often and he seems very knowledgeable. He is a sweet guy and he was great around my wife and kids.
Description of Work: We used them for the construction of our bulkhead. They have given an estimate to build shelves in our home and the quote is about $6,500.00 for the construction and the painting.

We are grateful for the kind words. A Mahogany basement bulkhead will last nearly forever and is our favorite material to work with. It's a huge plus that the material is actually, surprisingly affordable. Very much appreciate you as an architect allowing us to create the bead and batten profile for the wood. We always give it our very best but anytime the project involves some creativity then we are 110% on board. Best to you and yours....

Great. Mike really made every effort to do the work on time and on budget. Result is beautiful. We were living in upstairs at the time, and they did all they could to keep dust and mess clearned up so we could at least go through the kitchen. Very professional with a lot of good design ideas too.
Description of Work: Replaced kitchen and half bath including reconfiguring floor space, moving walls, new custom cabinetry, moving hear and electric, all finishes, tiling, etc. Also, replaced half of windows in house prior fall. Great value considering the quality of materials and work

Response from Mako Contracting
[member name removed] and her husband, are a very competent remodeling homeowner. It's a pleasure to have specific guidelines and goals even as a project develops. Several issues occurred due to work performed by prior H/O or their contractor. [member name removed] and I worked together for proper solution(s) to these as they were discovered. Most were able to be within the original scope of work but when additional charges came up the costs were kept to a minimum and all agreed it was necessary. Again, having a clear goal and a detailed, line item estimate of work and materials was an excellent method for a successful project. Best to you and yours...

Great -- Michael is great to work with. Keeps you informed every step of the way from estaimate through final install. Also, help us specify and choose the windows that would be most satisfactory for our application. Really knows windows as once worked for Marvin Distributor. Has worked in windows/contracting for 30 or more years. Nice person who goes the final mile to get it done on time and within budget.
Description of Work: Replaced and installed about 15 windows. Also, rebuilt some windows,

Great client! Sometimes we can (admittedly) throw to much information but it's a great deal of money and I insist the customer knows what they are writing a check for. We don't care it takes extra time and effort....EVERY customer should know the products they are paying for. Again, thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. Best,

Mike is delightful to work with. He gives genuine thought in his estimates and designs and really works with you to come up with the best end result. He is highly professional in his estimates and billing and has reasonable deposits. While not the absolute cheapest, he provides very good value for a specialty carpenter. I had two urgent projects, both of which he completed with minimal supervision after the initial estimate. The custom bed required quite a bit of email back and forth (he also sends pictures) since it was definitely a nonstandard piece of furniture. He surprised me with a beautiful two-tone wood top that really carried the nautical theme. I then came up with the third project which I originally avoided due to not having someone reliable to execute. That came in significantly lower cost than I expected. I had trouble with several other people getting them to return calls, visit, etc. Mike is a great guy who I will hire for all my future specialty carpentry projects.
Description of Work: 1) Built and installed dock steps from marine lumber2) Designed and built a custom-sized bed and storage bench with original beautiful design.3) Installed a externally vented range hood

Although I travel from each end of RI to the other I can honestly say this was a special project with a fine young man the recipient of a special Mahogany Bed set. Truly my pleasure to be part of such a fine gift. Best to you...
