Our Story

Co-Founder & President
Eric Thomas, Co-Founder and President of Steinmark Construction

Steinmark Construction was founded on a name that carries both personal meaning and professional purpose.

Steinmark was my grandmother’s maiden name. She and my mother were two of the strongest women I’ve ever known. Long before it became our company name, it represented family, work ethic, and pride in doing things the right way. When I first entered the construction trades through tile and stone work, the connection felt natural. Stone is unforgiving — it demands precision, patience, and respect for the material. Those early years shaped how I approach construction to this day.

Tile and stone taught me that quality isn’t something you can hide. Lines must be straight. Surfaces must be true. Details matter, because once the work is set, it’s there to last. That mindset became the foundation for Steinmark Construction.

Over time, our work expanded beyond tile into full residential remodeling, but the standards never changed. Every project is approached with the same discipline, planning, and attention to detail that stone work requires. We believe that strong homes are built on solid processes, clear communication, and accountability — not shortcuts.

Today, we specialize in thoughtful, well-executed remodels that balance design, durability, and livability. Steinmark isn’t just a name. It’s a standard — one rooted in craftsmanship, family, and work built to last.

Steinmark Construction — Built on stone. Defined by quality.

Why design-build

The traditional arrangement puts an architect on one side and a contractor on the other, and the homeowner in the middle translating between them.

When something on the drawings turns out to be impractical — or expensive — that gap is where the arguments happen, and where the budget goes. The designer says it was drawn correctly. The builder says it can't be built that way for that money. Both are often right.

We removed the gap. The person who measures your house is on the same team as the person who frames it, so buildability and cost are part of the conversation from the first sketch rather than a discovery made during demolition.

It also means one number, one schedule, and one company that cannot pass the blame anywhere else.

03 — Principles

The standards didn’t change

Our work expanded beyond tile and stone into full remodels. The tolerances we learned there came with it.
01

Quality can’t be hidden

Stone is an unforgiving material. A line that runs out is visible from across the room, and no amount of finish work afterwards will disguise it. We hold every trade to the tolerance stone demands — straight lines, true surfaces, and joints that still look deliberate years later.
02

Set once, set right

Stone gives you one attempt. Once it’s set, the decision is permanent, so the thinking has to happen before anything is committed. We carry that sequence into the whole build: resolve the layout, confirm the selections, then start work — in that order, every time.
03

Process, not shortcuts

Strong homes are built on solid processes, clear communication, and accountability. A shortcut on a jobsite is never actually free — it just moves the cost onto the homeowner later, as a callback, a failed inspection, or a detail that never sits right.
04

Design, durability, livability

A remodel has to satisfy all three. A kitchen that photographs beautifully but doesn’t work at seven in the morning has failed at the part that matters most. We weigh how a space looks, how it will wear, and how it will actually be lived in before anything is finalized.

04 — Working with us
We take on a limited number of renovations at a time, because the supervisor on your project is on site and not spread across six others.
That means we book ahead, and it means we're honest early about whether the timeline you need is one we can meet. If we're not the right company for your project, we'll usually know within a week — and we'll say so.
