Testimonials

We recently had our house interior repainted by Marys’ crew (one man actually - who did a stellar job). She took the time to see us first and discuss what was needed, came by on a number of occasions to insure the job was going smoothly, and again when it was done to insure our satisfaction. Based on our previous experience in a home that was repainted 2 years ago, the price tag was most competitive, especially when compared to other estimates we had been given in this post Covid environment. We were totally happy it’s the outcome and will be asking Mary to help us out on our future renovations. Thanks again Mary. Was a pleasure doing business.

More than Martha has showed up to my home multiple times. Mary and her crew are skilled and professional. She’s built a kitchen for me, an exterior fence, re-configured the laundry room plumbing and painted the exterior of my home. Thank you for the multi-talents you have and the creative suggestions.

Place of Refuge Society hired Mary’s company, More than Martha, to repair a water pipe burst, which caused significant damage to our main office space.

The work required included placing a new floor, replacing a water pipe, drywalling the entire East wall of the office, and painting. Mary is fantastic to work with! Her workers are friendly and reliable; everyone exceeded what we contracted them for.

My office is back in its original condition, and we will not hesitate to hire her company again if necessary.
Highly recommend!

Mary came to my rescue and helped to fix up some things in my home. She is so positive and nothing seems insurmountable. She did a great job to repair my garage and did some great pressure washing too. She did all this in a timely manner and worked around my schedule and made it all happen! Mary is amazing!!

Mary did a fantastic job on our garage renovation. Her total price was in accordance with her quote. The workmanship was top notch and she was very responsive and timely on all aspects of the job. We were especially happy with the professionalism with which she approached the job. Great work Mary

Mary and her crew did my suite legalization requirements, fireproofing drywall etc. Prompt and courteous service, stayed on quote, and great followup.

Our realtor arranged a few contractors to give us a quote on a kitchen basement but advised us not to decide until we get Mary to come see our place. And he was not mistaken. We received above and beyond service from Mary and her team. They built us a kitchen in our basement and was very efficient in their work. Mary even went the extra mile and helped us fix a few other things around the house that she noticed would be good to fix as we prepare to list our house for sale. If we ever need more renos, repairs and upgrades, we will definitely be contacting Mary! Thank you Mary and team!

Mary and several crews have completed 3 projects for us, 2 inside (laundry & bedroom/shiplap install) and 1 outside (crumbling shed and retaining wall). Mary personally oversees every aspect of the work, and makes sure the crews are working to clients specifications. Our jobs were all renovations of a 40 year old house so perfection was never expected (or achieved) but her diligence and hard work were always appreciated. She’s happy to share her knowledge, will always pick up the phone to consult or recommend and is a truly genuine person. I’ve not seen many work as hard to make us happy.

Mary and her crew just finished a complete renovation on my house and I could not be happier with it. The house looks wonderful and the quality of workmanship was first-rate. Mary went out of her way to be accommodating at every stage, even soldiering through a personal tragedy in her family. The crew were very helpful over and above the job even repairing my toilet and assembling furniture. I highly recommend her services. It was money well spent.

We have had Mary Collopy, owner and contractor from More than Martha, and her team do updates to our home on a few occasions. Mary is friendly and approachable. Her team is professional. Communication is easy with text and email. We are happy with the workmanship of the final renos. We trusted her with a key to our home and we enjoyed a flexible schedule for the jobs. 5 Stars! We recommend her!
— Laurie and Jim Wilson
I really appreciate everything you did and the extraordinary steps you needed to take to get things done on such a tight schedule (with a bad injury to boot!)
We will cross paths again.
All the best,

Mary, we can’t thank you enough for making our dreams come true. We have wanted to finish our basement for our children for so long. You helped us make that a reality. We love our new space and so do the kids.

This past winter we had our ensuite shower tile and glass doors cleaned and the shower pan cleaned and resealed, now it’s just like new. Also we had Mary help us decide on a new counter and sink and could not be more pleased with the outcome. Our bathroom window screen was letting the tiny flies in at night and the screen itself was awkward to remove to clean the window. Mary used the frame, had the old screen replaced with a 20x20 screen, and then mounted so it was easy to remove. The bathroom was repainted too. Mary and her helpers were great to work with and the cost estimate reflected the final outcome. We would use her services again.

I cannot believe how happy you and your team have made me, Mary. I would never have been able to organize the repairs to my home in time for the open house, if it wasn’t for you. You did my painting, cleaned my carpets, weeded my yard and removed all the garbage. I will be sure to tell all my friends about you. Thank you Mary.
— Margot Heritage
I would recommend Mary to help with any or all home improvement projects. Hang a mirror, change a light fixture, hang your drapery rods - from soup to nuts - she’s your girl!
— Patricia Snow
Many thanks Mary! Our family sincerely appreciates you and your team’s excellent and professional service, no repair job is too big or small, listens and fulfills what clients needs are. Most of all, your personal and caring approach gives it the “more than Martha” difference!
Till the next one,
— Asbel and Liza
With the amount of shoes Jake has, the wall unit is perfect. Thank you so much! I’m happy...it looks great and is exactly what we needed.
— Ela Rauche
What can we say. “More than Martha” is just that...More than Martha! From the moment we made contact with Mary we knew she was the contractor for us. Mary met with us, gave us a quote and started the job in just a few days as we were on a tight timeline to list our home on the market. The quality of the work done and personal touch we received by Mary and her staff was A-1. We would have no problem recommending “More than Martha” to any of our family and friends and actually, already have. Thanks Mary!
