About
Hi - I’m Mark and have been doing construction/handyman work for 30+ years. I’m most passionate about doing work *professionally* and being sure customers are 100% happy. I’ve got (almost!) every tool known to mankind, and a nice big van with roof rack for delivering materials and tools warm and dry.
I'm a licensed-bonded-insured general contractor in Oregon, CCB#243604.
I love brainstorming solutions if you are not certain how you want to accomplish your goals.

Mark was a pleasure to work with! He is professional, respectful, and responsive. Despite running into some issues during installation, he went above and beyond to troubleshoot and complete the tasks. Will definitely use his services again for future projects.

Bow to Stern Construction is AMAZING. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them. They fixed the aluminum siding on our house and did an absolutely beautiful job. Mark and Wyatt were professional, responsive, super communicative, and their work was flawless. They were very careful of the landscaping around the house, and really went the extra mile. They noticed that the part of the house they were working on was missing a piece of trim, and went out of their way to find some to add, even though that was not in the original scope of the work, and I think it was tough to find. The house looks better than it did before, and the whole experience was wonderful. On top of all of this, they were a fraction of the price that a siding company quoted me. I couldn't be happier, and I will be using Bow to Stern Construction for EVERY job that comes up going forward. This is a real gem.
Details: Minor, cosmetic damage only • Metal • Home

Had a great experience with Mark and Susan. Mark worked a little under 8 hours on some projects I had around the house. Did a lot of running around to find what i needed and both he and Susan were wonderful to work with. I would totally recommend them to anyone who needs work around their home. I know I will surely be giving him more work in the near future!
