“Above and beyond our expectations...”

I just wanted to say Thank You for the beautiful work you did on the media cabinet. You took our needs and space into consideration and came up with a great piece of furniture that we will enjoy for many years.

Thanks again, the value and craftsmanship was above and beyond our expectations. We added some fireplace accessories and now that entire wall is complete and we are proud to show it off. If you ever need someone as a reference for your work feel free to have them call us.

“friendly, considerate and creative...”

We have continually had work done on our home over the years, and Marc was the first contractor who exceeded our expectations in every facet of the relationship. He was a joy to work with, and we will continue to enhance our home with Marc’s wonderful artistry.

On a final note and to further validate Marc’s passion for his work and his thoughtful nature, he built us an owl box for our backyard to the exact specifications necessary to attract a pair of owls. He wouldn’t take any money, but just considered it his contribution to rodent control!

Thank you, Marc, you’re the BEST!

“really happy...”

My wife and I are really happy on our new custom made media center cabinet, the design is unique and fits nicely on our tv niche. If you want to make sure you get want you want, the design, the fine details, and quality craftsmanship, Mark Bagtas is your guy. In fact, we are already thinking of having our cabinets/bookshelf/media center done in our master's bedroom, and now, its not difficult to find who we wanted to take care of it. I'm really glad we waited and didn't rush in until we met Marc. Looking forward on our new project with him! Excellent job Marc!

“craftsmanship and quality...”

Mark did a excellent job on my Dry Bar and Display cabinet. The Craftsmanship and quality of the wood cabinets where excellent. I would recommend Marc Bagtas for his quality and integrity on making cabinets.

“Stellar, professional service.”

I had a few home projects done, but Marc is the only one I had no problems with. His craftsmanship is the best, his work ethics is superb, the materials he used...superior. All I wanted was extra storage on a wasted space in the upstairs hallway. When he finished the job, not only did I have a lot of storage, I also now have a showcase for my grand children's pictures and my "Dolphins" collection. Thanks Marc.

“4 thumbs way up from my 2 sons!”

I can whole heartedly recommend Marc Bagtas to anyone who is involved in a project where the skill of a craftsman and the construction of cabinetry is needed. I can guarantee you will get a product beyond compare at a fair and reasonable price. You also get to work with a man who is completely trustworthy and a pleasure to deal with.

Marc, if any of your prospects are in need of a reference please do not hesitate to have them contact me.

I wish you the best of luck and thank you so much.

All the testimonies regarding quality, attention to detail, craftmanship etc are true regarding Marc Bagtas.

But the exceptional things he does really stands out – his desire to please his customer – work late into the evening when necessary, problem solving that is caused by other sub-contractors that require incredible skill and tools – then add his insistence on cleanliness each time he leaves the job – and even his work van in which everything has a place. 

You may find other wood craftsman that have some of his attributes – but I have never encountered anyone that has these skills and is such a joy to be around ALL THE TIME.

“Precision, beauty, integrity, reliable”

Precision, beauty, integrity, reliable…any many more words to describe Marc Bagtas and his team at MB Woodworks. I have been collaborating with Marc since 2007 and he remains the top tradesperson who I recommend to clients. His process is methodical and creative at the same time – providing expertise and direction when the design requires such. He always exceeds my expectations and clients regularly bring him back for the next space they are renovating in their home. The relationship he nurtures with the client in conjunction with the extraordinarily beautiful and functional cabinetry he builds makes him highly sought after and my first choice – always.
