Testimonials
Margi A.
Now that our renovation project is complete I want to tell you how pleased we are with the outcome.
It wasn’t only your attention to detail or the ways in which you made our family comfortable throughout the entire process. It was the trust that you helped to foster during a very extensive and challenging project that made it not only bearable but a lot of fun! We readily recommend you to all our friends and neighbors and will certainly contract with you again. Thanks again guys!

I have had the pleasure of using Mark and his crew for 2 major projects in my homes.
Mark worked with me to design and implement my ideas, and he was on-site often overseeing the job. I would highly recommend Mark as he hires trustworthy, skilled workers who did excellent work, stays within the budget, and finishes the job on time.
Ann E.
Mark has been an invaluable resource to me as I have renovated my home over the past three years and prepared it for sale.
He is special for his intelligent and up-to-date approach to problems, his communication skills (in person, phone, and email), his reliable referrals for subcontractors, and exemplary follow-through. I feel fortunate to have his number handy for any house crisis that might arise.
Jun Z.
I would recommend him to any of my friends.
Mark and his team did an excellent job of replacing our windows and deck, particularly the bay window. The job is done professionally, Mark is easy to work with.
Lora G.
The whole experience has been very positive.
I’ve told this to others on your team but I want you to also know that we’ve been really happy with your crew. They were courteous, clean, professional and I felt comfortable with them in my house even when we weren’t there.

I highly recommend Mark Galezo and Associates.
I worked with Mark Galezo and Associates on a full gut renovation/addition to our home. We have been in our house for more than a year, and I can say their quality of work was excellent. Mark was very transparent about the scope work to be performed, was highly responsive to owner inquiries/requests, and was very fair when dealing with owner change orders (which in our case were many). Since our main project was finished, we have worked with Mark on two other big projects for our home, with the same level of satisfaction.

Mark is a reliable and outstanding contractor.
Not only have I used his services for multiple jobs, but my entire family has used him countless times. He is easy to work with and has always been respectful and kind. His crew is courteous to my children and they maintain a clean and safe site. His estimates are very detailed and accurate and the results are nothing less than exceptional. Mark is a real find!

My only regret was that I did not move forward sooner!
Mark Galezo and Associates created a sunroom by using half of our outside deck space, replacing it with an enclosure, and also taking down a wall to an adjoining room, opening the space up to lots of light since the sunroom has 3 sides of windows. I was able to keep the other half of the deck as an outside space next to the sunroom. I am in a condominium association of unit owners, so it was important not only to comply with the Town of Cortlandt building codes but also comply with the association’s regulations for additions to units.
Mark handled the approvals from the Town, filed the permits, and also spoke with the condo board officers on my behalf. Mark also always updated me on costs and the status of the scheduling of the subcontractors, who were neat and always left the site with everything in order. The end result is a beautiful space overlooking a lake.

If you want to hire a builder who is highly efficient, skilled, time & budget-conscious, talented, and is fun to work with, then Mark is the guy for you!
He and his team of workers did a remarkable job on refinishing the entire first floor of my house. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. In fact, we are now having his team redo all of the bathrooms on the second floor. No job is too small or big for him! I guarantee you will love working with him!
Holly F.
Mark was helpful from the start, knowledgeable, provided a quote in a timely manner.
A tree fell on our roof and he was there to help! He kept us in the loop and used language we could understand. He is experienced in everything from basic stuff to smart home engineering. Would use him again for sure!
Jim B.
I have used Mark Galezo & Associates for two renovation jobs and could not be more pleased.
He is always available to answer questions and to consult on work to be performed. His staff is polite, clean, and professional and his subcontractors are first-rate. I know I will get a quality job and at a reasonable cost. I would not hesitate to recommend him. The first project was in 2013; the second last year (2017). If I need other work to be performed, I would hire him without reservation.
Anthony P.
Mark Galezo was an absolute pleasure to work with.
He delivered what he promised on time and on budget. There was no nickel and diming for many changes and indeed he was quick to suggest changes that would cost less and have more impact. He worked seamlessly with the design team completely renovating a 4600s.f. house enlarging the kitchen into a great room and converting a grungy professional office into a very attractive in-law suite. I have unconditionally recommended his company to good friends. He is a rare professional in a tough business. I couldn’t have asked for a better working relationship or final product.
Renee C.
Mark is like an architect, contractor, engineer, and design consultant rolled up into one.
We completely demolished our outdated kitchen, knocking down walls to the existing formal dining room, and started from scratch.
Prior to starting the project, he presented us with multiple options all having implications in terms of scope. He then began his archeological explorations! His communication was excellent every step of the way, even when we weren’t living in the home to monitor the progress. Never did he encounter a new curveball for which he was unable to come up with multiple solutions.
His intelligence and passion for creating beautiful spaces show through in the finished product, which was of impeccable quality and is by far our favorite space in our new home. We can’t wait to do our next project together!”

I was nervous about finding a contractor to build my home for me and my kids.
In part because so many people warned me that contractors can be crooks. Also because I am a single woman who has experienced enough misogyny in my life to know that there was ample opportunity for more of it in this arena. Mark proved to be a shining exception to the stereotype of contractors! He managed to find the balance of helping me understand all the detailed aspects of the house-building process, keeping me informed on our progress and still being in charge of the whole operation. And the fact that my house is gorgeous is a testimonial in itself.

I highly recommend Mark Galezo and Associates!
Mark and his team did a big renovation at our house in Cold Spring, and I was very happy. This is my 5th renovation, and my fifth contractor. I am thrilled that I finally found a contractor that I would hire again! Mark is incredibly professional – responsive and thorough (from the bid process through the renovation completion). He’s a creative problem solver and an organized project manager, which are two of the most important qualities needed in a GC (assuming you want the project to finish well and on time). His team did beautiful work, and when there were things that needed to be fixed, Mark took responsibility to get them righted. And on top of all of that, Mark’s simply a lovely person with a good sense of humor. Not to be underestimated in working on a multi-month project with lots of moving parts! I hope you get lucky enough to work with Mark, also.

I highly recommend Mark! I hired Mark for a year+ long project renovating a barn, a cottage and some work on an office studio, about 4000 SF in total.
Renovations can be stressful and rehabilitating an old house can be even harder than a new build, but Mark made the process fairly seamless and finished on time (a rarity in construction!) Mark was very transparent, honest and communicative at each step of the way.
He sent me detailed updates, photos and shared with me the important “behind the scenes” issues that could arise with solutions and costs so my expectations were always managed. He made sure that I was happy with the finished product and most importantly I didn’t need to handle the “weeds” and details of the projects, which was a huge value add while I had a full time job in the city. I definitely recommend Mark for a big project like this!
