I cannot thank Marc enough for the fantastic job that he did on our project! He was incredibly knowledgeable of the task at hand during our consultation, which made it clear that he was head and shoulders above the rest. He even provided suggestions for improvements that we could make to the original design, which made the final results even better. One of the things that stood out about Marc was his professionalism. He was always on time and his work was of exceptional quality. I highly recommend using Tight Lines Construction for your next project. read more

Marc is an A-list contractor and has helped with several family projects, including work on my mother's home on a large property in Santa Rosa. His standard for quality, attention to detail, and craftsmanship is excellent, and all of the work was completed in a timely manner. His strong and diverse skill set, industry knowledge, professionalism, and fun personality transformed what initially felt like a challenging and stressful set of renovations and repairs into a much more pleasant and seamless experience. read more

Marc and his team did a great job on our inlaw studio+bathroom remodel in the Mission. Very collaborative, Marc brought great ideas to the table. And once we decided on a plan, it was executed beautifully. Of course, there were some surprises lurking behind the walls (as might be expected in a nearly 100 year old home), which required some extra attention- including replacement of a portion of the foundation (eek!). Marc was very helpful in keeping us informed of things as they came up, and happy to give us daily walkthroughs. Unfortunately, due to these issues, the project took longer than expected and exceeded the initial estimate. However, despite this, Tight Lines deserves 5 stars. My husband and I (and our in-laws) are extremely pleased with the result! Photos to follow soon! read more

We had purchased new appliances for our kitchen and needed two cabinets altered to allow space for the dishwasher and over-the-stove microwave. Marc Carrillo responded to our request, looked at the job, and we agreed to his hourly rate. In our discussions with him while he was altering the cabinets, we realized the extent of his knowledge and decided to have him update the countertop, linoleum, sink, and install all of the new appliances. We also asked him to replace the old bathroom tub faucets and shower head, and to re-install our tub/shower doors (which we had done incorrectly). Our duplex was built in the 50s, so there were some challenges with remodeling; Marc was familiar with the problems of older houses and knew exactly what he needed to do. Marc was extremely helpful with suggestions of the types of materials to use that were within our budget, and with a color scheme that would match the rest of the kitchen that was not being updated. We are very happy with Marc's work, and our updated kitchen is beautiful. Marc has an extensive inventory of tools, including many types of power tools, and he did everything himself: electrical, plumbing, hand cutting and laying tile, and making trim to fit some very awkward spaces. We will definitely contact Marc at Tight Lines Construction for our next project. read more

To say that Marc is by far the best contractor I've ever worked with is an understatement. After interviewing more than 7 contractors for a job, Marc stood out for his professionalism, expertise and experience. Marc was honest, punctual and above all, his work is absolute quality.

Marc Carrillo and Tight Lines Construction have been a huge help for us here at The Light House Farmstead. Marc installed new propane plumbing for us and relocated our propane tank. He is so dedicated that he happily poured the new concrete pad for the tank in the pouring rain!! Instead of postponing, he stepped up and knocked out the work for us during poor weather and we had heat back on in the house for our family and guests without delay. He communicated clearly what needed to get done, was prompt, and we are overjoyed with the results!! Marc got our old propane furnace working in our downstairs space too!We had him back to install a new water heater in our Yurt, which came out beautiful! He advised us on how the copper plumbing upgrades and insulation will ensure we get the best use out of our unit and it lasts. Marc is so knowledgeable and creative in his work. Would recommend him in a heartbeat. read more

Marc has the ability to combine design and function which led to the custom glass-block & shower door bath that I envisioned. Two glass companies said hanging the doors from the glass-block walls couldn't be done. Marc made it happen & my bathroom looks as good today as it did the day he finished, over eight years ago. read more

The work is shoddy and their follow-up is horrible! Marc and his crew have caused my tenants and me significant issues. Very poor customer service...I would never use these guys again and would strongly discourage others from considering them for any projects, regardless of scope and budget. read more

I first used TLC to repair some interior doors that no longer stayed closed. Marc came out and fixed those and then.... I used TLC for my only bath remodel. What a beautiful bathroom now!!!!! Marc and his team did a down-to-the-studs remodel of my bathroom. It's so pretty now that I'm putting pics on Houzz. The price was upfront, clear, affordable and everything was in writing. They are absolute professionals with years of experience. After the demo was done, they corrected the poor plumbing and non-compliant-to-code electrical issues found. Marc is great at communicating any issues I needed to make a decision on and he offered helpful advice on tile, grout, fixtures and placement of all the above. It was a pleasure having Marc and crew work in my home since they're fun, personable guys. They always left the place clean at the end of the day and were nice enough to put my toilet back on every night. I'm definitely going to use Tight Lines Construction for my kitchen and window replacement and anything else my home needs. Marc can do it all! Give Marc a call for anything big or small, you will be so happy you did read more

We needed some work done in our guest bathroom...tile, a new window, new faucet and drains. We found Tight Lines Construction and found their good reviews online a great place to start. We liked Marc when he came out to look at the job finding him both personable and knowledgeable. He texted me a bid and we agreed to the bid. The rest is too lengthy to fit in the allowed space for review. Here are the highlights...he presented a "agreement" at the end of his first day higher than his quote, he was not communicative about the job, he seemed offended and was condescending when we asked about the job, never worked a full weeks work, the job lasted 3 weeks instead of 1, didn't show up when he said he would, didn't finish the job, left a final bill and when asked he told my husband that he was handy and could finish it himself, was rude and disrespectful later claiming he was joking, left final bill will 10 hours of extra work and miscellaneous supplies (including multiple tile saw blades that broke because our tile was "exceptionally hard") and when asked for backup he accused us of being in a power play and became a bully, harassing us with phone calls, voice mails and emails (10:30 pm, midnight, 2:30 am) then finally submitting 15 hours of extra work and more supplies. We settled with him to make him go away and the harassment to stop. What should have been a fun project for us became a nightmare. And the topper? His contractor's license is expired since 2013. He will have a great answer to this review is his dismissive way. I did mention he was argumentative didn't I? read more
