Watermark & Company

We used Watermark & Company for a full house remodel. The remodel was done within the agreed timeline and stuck closely to budget. They were a pleasure to work with and the house looked amazing.

Highly recommend Watermark & Company. Reliable, knowledgeable, beautiful work, on-budget and on-time. They were on-site to monitor the crew, followed the project plan, gave valuable input on our design ideas, and save us money on more than one occasion! We enjoyed the new steam shower and definitely will use them for future projects!

Quick Summary: On Time and On Budget! (Unbelievably Rare in Home Renovation) This is the third house we have remolded. This is the only satisfying experience we have ever had with a contractor. These guys are super nice, knowledgeable, & very trustworthy. My husband and I hired Watermark & Company for a whole house renovation in summer, 2016. We were very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them. The two factors that were the most important to us were that the budget stay within the predicted range and that the project be finished on time for us to get our little girl settled into her room before the first day of Kindergarten. I was thrilled to find that the cost of the project was what they predicted, plus a handful of extras that we chose to add as we proceeded through the project. And most important of all – we moved back in one week before Kindergarten! A week early! Everything else was good as well. The crews they hired to work on the house were professional and skilled. JC and Louis coordinated the different teams brilliantly – there was always a team at work on something, and the different crews moved through like clockwork. As anyone who has lived through a major renovation can attest, there are hundreds of little decisions that must be made during the project. Louis was always readily available to advise us, and his advice was consistently good. The finished result was better with his recommendations. Both JC and Louis were always available and always pleasant. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Eventually we will build out a second story on our house and when we do, we will certainly hire them again.

Watermark & Company did a wonderful job on the complete remodel of our home. They were very responsive and always available to help and answer questions. Watermark brought some very creative ideas on how to rearrange our floor plan, remodel bathroom and kitchen areas. They were also efficient in pricing iterations and met their timeline.

JC and Louis delivered a beautiful 700 square foot addition to our home. Our top priorities were that the addition would be a seamless transition both inside and out - keeping to the style and integrity of our charming little home - and that the space be smart, full of storage and function for a growing family. Watermark met both goals and did so while working tirelessly to respect our timeline and budget. With every big project we of course had some delays but at the end of the project, we can say we would absolutely recommend and hire Watermark again for future projects. Louis and JC are both so nice to work with and even helped solve a few design issues we weren't happy with originally. Their ideas saved us time and money and fit into our vision of what our space should be. Louis and JC spent hours working on budget questions with us and even came in to help with last finish out...down to hanging a ceiling fan replacement and mopping our floor when we moved back in! Our toddler affectionately talks about JC and Louis as the "nice guys who made her new room." When we decide to redo our kitchen someday, they will be our first call! Our addition is just what we wanted and neighbors and strangers stop to compliment us on it often. Neighbors also complimented JC and Louis on how professional the sub-contractors were- always courteous, quick to keep the work-site clean...and always very respectful when we would drop in to see the progress. Do yourself a favor- call Watermark. You can trust your project will turn out beautifully with JC and Louis. * we added a family room, bedroom, bath and mudroom. The quality of work and attention to detail is evident in the time they took matching our cedar plank siding, house color, and respecting our desire to repurpose and reuse windows, lights, and other materials whenever possible.

JC and Louis did our kitchen remodel and I would highly recommend them. The project was primarily an upgrade with a small amount of structural work. They took the time upfront to understand exactly what we were looking for and made suggestions if the initial plan didn't exactly work out. They were flexible and willing to work with us on using an outside vendor for the cabinets in order to keep to the budget. They were extremely responsive to both phone calls and emails and kept us in the loop on all change orders, timing changes, etc. The project was finished ahead of the stated 10 week time frame and while there were additional change order charges, they were upfront with us about it before we signed the contract. They are organized and showed up when they said they would and kept us informed every week on what would be done. Above all, the quality of the work was exceptional and they made sure that everything met our expectations at every stage of the process. A great experience overall and would highly recommend.

This was an excellent firm to work with. The project took longer than we would have liked but building is very big in the area and this firm made a concerted effort to hire quality subs.

We provided handmade backsplash tile for a high end remodel that Watermark and Company recently completed. I often refer clients to Watermark and Co. because they are versatile, courteous, straightforward, and do beautiful work. Their Spanish Oak project is a fine example, and one I got to tour in person. Mike Paclik and the Watermark and Co. team have the attention to detail that many builders lack.

We have had a few small remodeling projects in the past. Last year, we decided to turn our enclosed deck into an office, adding an extra living space, updating our living room to make it safer for our child, and replacing old windows. Looking at our needs, we knew that we had to find a qualified contractor. We contacted several contractors and made it clear to them that we would want the addition to look like as if it had been built as part of the original house. We also wanted to have a high ceiling (9 ft or more) in the new addition room. Due to the shape of our roofing, most of the contractors said that it couldn't be done. On the contrary, Mike Paclik owner of Watermarks & Co, rose to the challenge and proposed to make an open floor plan concept from our existing dining room to the additional spaces with high ceiling. Noticing that the additional rooms would get a lot of sunlight during the day, he put out a design that could reduce the heat transfer from the outside to the inside of the house. He came up with design ideas that were within reasonable budget. Hence, we decided to go with him. During the renovation process, Mike would come to check on the progress everyday and updated us on the progress. When we stumbled on some design problems, he would give some ideas based from his experience, which suitable for our taste. He also addressed all of our concerns in a timely manner. His team cleaned up the mess very well. It enabled us to stay in the house during most of the renovation. Mike’s attention to detail is outstanding. He would have finished the project on time, if we didn't keep giving him more tasks to do. The end result is amazing! Our house is much more comfortable, more energy efficient and more airy. Despite being our biggest renovation project ever, Mike and his team made it possible for the process to go smoothly and painlessly. We will definitely contact him again whenever we are ready to remodel our kitchen or any remodeling projects in the future. Toga & Kathy H. - Home owners of Floral Park project -

Watermark & Company recently completed a master bathroom renovation in our 20 year old home. The company, and specifically our project manager Brian Carpenter, did an amazing job from beginning to end. Communication and clarity were important factors going into the project and we were not disappointed. From our perspective the company excelled at everything!

We've used Watermark on several projects: a) a small project, reducing the size of our fireplace hearth and add a few windows, b) half-bath remodel in a four-plex unit, and c) a large remodel including full kitchen, exterior wall movement, and new floors. We did competitive bids in all cases and Watermark was consistently neither the least nor most expensive and were by far the best at communicating with us during the bid process. More importantly, once underway they maintained very good communication with us and they always hit their estimated timelines. The quality of the various subcontractors varied - some were great, some were only OK, but Watermark always made sure the final product was excellent. We're quite pleased and will look forward to another project with them.

Watermark & Company remodeled our kitchen...several baths and staircase. The transformation has been remarkable. The project manager, Brian, is attentive and professional. He's worked hard to keep us in budget and to ensure that we are happy with the completed work. Watermark will also be remodeling our master bath in the next few weeks. We are excited to have the crews back in the house and watch the progress. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to do medium to large jobs!
