Mark Washburn.
Third generation · More than forty yearsA third-generation contractor, more than forty years in the industry.
He leads a team with decades of combined construction experience.
Mark Allen Builders is the work he cares most about: renovations and additions done properly, and houses put back together correctly after something goes wrong.
We don't just build homes. We make sure they're built right.
Mark Allen Builders is a builder first. We build custom homes, additions and major renovations, with every trade coordinated in the right order.
And when a home is damaged, we restore it right, to the same standard.
That means building codes, manufacturer installation requirements, structural work, and the sequencing of every trade that has to come through the house, whether we are building something new or restoring what a loss took, from the perspective of experienced builders, not adjusters.
A scope built around what it takes to build it right.
