I picked the filler on Thursday. I put it in the tub. Hoping you will have time this week to install it. I’m excited to see how it is going to look. You and the guys did an amazing job!
I love my bathroom. ???

New reference – recommendation —
We hired Dave Mason for a much-needed master bath remodel, and he and his crew turned it into a spa-like setting. It’s gorgeous, and has transformed the room. Their work was superb, and on top of that, they’re very reliable and pleasant to work with. We’d highly recommend Dave for any remodel project.

I called Dave and a few other companies looking for someone who could help us repair a 60 year old eight foot high retaining wall that kept a main street out of our back yard. Two people came over before Dave; they shrugged and sighed and left saying “good luck”. Dave came over with ideas and was ready to tackle the project. He had a couple of approaches in mind and said he would know more as he started to dig. Having done projects in Marin before, I assumed I’d get on his list and he’d call me back in a few months when he had time. However, we were in luck because he had a break in his calendar and offered to start the next week. He gave us a quote and a time frame, and much to my surprise stayed within both of those. His communication was top notch, with updates and suggestions after every work day. The two guys he works with are very polite and friendly. They worked hard 6 days a week for the promised 2 weeks, even working in the rain. They made friends with my neighbors. These guys were great, communicated well, are knowledgeable in many areas, work fast, and cleaned up. I would recommend them.

Dave and his crew of workers at Marin Restoration do amazing work improving any living space. Dave utilizes his skills as a contractor and artist in home remodeling. In my case an old dysfunctional leaking bathroom has turned into a modern dream bathroom with a roomy step in sliding glass door shower. Dave and his crew even moved an entire tile wall weighing close to 500lbs intact about 4 feet in the effort to save me money. Wow! I was impressed each day of work by their reliability to make steady progress towards completion of the project and their cleanup. I would definitely recommend Dave Mason and Marin Restorations to anyone looking to drastically improve their living space either interior or exterior. Furthermore, ask Dave about his electric mountain bike. He will definitely be able to convince you to go out and pedal easier and faster.

Majo, steep hillside dirt, and boulder removal. To create more usable land. Dave Mason than built drainage and a impressive Shot Create retaining wall. To this day there is not a crack on the 45′ X 8′ wall. We created a 40′ RV parking pad with full electrical/water/sewer hook ups. Dave than used the removed soil by placing it on the downward slope of the 1/2 acre. Thereby raising it to a usable creation of flat land.

Installed recessed Can lights to highlight art work.

Fabulously! Dave and not only listened to us but also did a complete review of our home — we’ve lived here for 20+ years — reporting what he found — and explaining why some of the things we thought were needed were not nearly as complicated or necessary, and pointing out the pros and cons of the alternatives we could consider, and explaining why some things that would have been expensive were not cost-effective or practical.

It went really well. The original deck was about 25 feet in the air. I wanted to create a legal second unit. While we did have an architect for part of the design work, Dave did a great job of expanding upon what the architect did to make the unit a wonderful space. He found ways to take advantage of the limited area (about 650 square feet) to make what feels like a roomy, charming home. He also did all of the electrical and plumbing work on the unit.
This is the third major project Dave has done for me, and I would have him back in a heartbeat.
Description of Work:
Built and entire apartment under my deck. A phenomenal job of creativity and construction.

As a designer using competent contractors is imperative to insure the finished products meets expectation. Dave Mason is just a resource. David performed all electrical and plumbing work related to a difficult kitchen and bath remodel project. The project design was followed with attention to detail and care. The finished results were beautiful and remain so today; a few years afterwards visitors still remark about the transformation achieved.
