Recommended Customer Reviews
Mark did our family room fireplace wall and we couldn't be happier with the job he did. The cabinets were build really well and the re-facing of our fireplace was the cherry on top. Even more than that Mark was NOT! like most contractors.
He was reliable. He stayed on the project until it was done and didn't bounce from job to job and leave you hanging. He would txt if he was going to be even 15 min. late, and answered his emails. All good stuff. You always take a chance when you hire a contractor and we hit a home run with Mark. We found our guy!
R&E
Mark did a great job in installing our cabinet doors. He was meticulous in planning and delivery. The pricing was good as well. I recommend his services and would use his company again.
This July, Mark completed a project in our garage. There were multiple elements for the job, including installation of gable vents, electrical, and full insulation. Mark did an excellent job, as the finished product met or exceeded our expectations. Having worked with Mark in the past on larger projects, I really appreciate his communication and attention to detail.
And with this project, even though it work in the garage area and less detailed and refined, Mark brought the same level of attention that he did when he updated our bathrooms and added a new 1/2 bath. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and always takes the extra time and effort to understand the homeowners expectations and desired results for the project. Looking forward to working with Mark again on future projects.
Kevin L.Almost don't want to give Mark a five star review because I want to keep him to myself, Mark is Silicon Valley Unicorn -- Professional, high quality work for reasonable prices. Stay away, he's mine.
It has been several years since our kitchen remodel and we noticed a very strange pattern that looked like a spider web forming on all of our cabinet doors. Mark came out and after some research determined there was a product application issue. He took all the doors and drawers impacted by this and redid all off them which was a significant amount of time and effort on his part. He did not charge for this. Mark truly stands by his work and he has clearly demonstrated this starting from the project itself through to resolving defects that have occurred after the project completed. We continue to highly recommend Mark.
I wanted to share with everyone my experience with Mark. Because he couldn't do a color sample before I had paid in full up front (nonrefundable), I asked for photos of his work showing the reclaimed wood/driftwood look from my bathroom vanity sample photo. I also asked if there are any quality guarantees for his work. Below is my original message and his response. If he treats prospective clients this way, I'm glad I'll never know how he treats his current clients when he already has your money.
My Question:
I am bummed to hear that the samples aren't free to see in advance but thank you for letting me know. Could you possibly send me photos of previous work showing wood that is similar to the sample photo? Also, does the vanity come with any quality guarantee in case there is an issue or damage that wasn't noticed prior to handoff? Thanks so much and have a great day!
His Response:
By law, contractors must provide a free estimate. I have provided that, and included 2 free samples, along with the purchase of a custom made vanity.
My custom cabinets are made with highest quality lumber, and plywoods available on the local market. They are delivered in installation ready conditions, and free of any defects, to specifications you provide. I also use the best quality catalyzed lacquers available. Thats the extent of what i offer. You can pics on my yelp page.
I don't have any pictures of white washed cabinets. I haven't had a request for anything whitewashed in over twenty years. Maybe longer.
I think you should be looking for something you can put your hands on, purchase, and walk away with. Having something custom made may be too much of a risk for you.
Try home depot, or lowes. They have samples on the floor, from cabinet companies they work with. That might be a better fit for you.
Thank you
Have a good evening

Mark is a thoughtful craftsman. We've worked with him on a few projects and have recommended him to our friends. He just finished up our kitchen remodel and we could not be happier.
We are not easy to please because my wife wants a certain design aesthetic and I want detailed, high quality work. Mark is able to deliver on all levels. His work is top notch and we trust him completely. We highly recommend Mark for any project!
Once again Mark did an outstanding job on our house (this time for a kitchen remodel). Great attention to detail, creative problem solving and very easy to work with. We've worked with him for over 10 year on our house (plus other projects) and highly recommend him!! 6 stars if I could!
Two years ago my neighbor had her kitchen remodeled by Tofoya Construction. She had been delighted by the experience and recommended this company highly. I used her recommendation and Mark made my kitchen beautiful.
I wasn't completely clear on what I wanted, but Mark was very helpful in my deciding.
For my situation, it was best to replace the cabinet doors and make new drawers(which are great). A finish was chosen that was compatible with the granite counter tops and the floor tile that were already installed.
Mark had some very helpful ideas such as combining some small drawers into one large one, putting a large drawer under the cooktop, and adding a box on the counter to accommodate bread boards. He also replaced a lazy susan, made a pantry more user friendly and added a cornice over window shades.
Recently, I was careless and marred the finish on a drawer. I dropped an email to Mark and had an immediate reply. It is all fixed now and I am very pleased
I am grateful to have found someone I could trust to do a great job making my kitchen a happy place to be!
Telina B.I spent a great deal of time researching different companies to do my kitchen remodel. My kitchen was outdated and not functional. It was going to be a big project. I was extremely nervous considering this is a huge undertaking and l wanted to get it right. I decided to go with Mark / Tafoya Construction and couldn't be happier I made that choice. I liked Mark from the start. He listened to what I wanted to accomplish and provided me with a few suggestions that really captured the vision. My entire kitchen layout was changed, including opening up a wall from the kitchen to the dining area. He created the perfect custom cabinets and gave me all the counter space I dreamed of having. My kids LOVE the new kitchen bar we added. When kids get excited about a kitchen - you know the job is top notch! Almost at the last minute ... we had him add flooring in the dining area and he made it happen! I am so happy with my new kitchen and Mark's work. When we are ready for our bathroom remodel we will be going back to Tafoya Construction. I would highly recommend Mark/Tofoya Construction to anyone considering a remodel.
