Bio/History

Jonathan Markir began his career in 1983 working for several custom cabinet and millwork shops in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, IL. Returning to his birthplace of Massachusetts in 1988, he spent 10 years working for his family’s general contracting business, where he was personally responsible for a majority of all carpentry from rough structural framing and repair to finish installation. His duties included all phases of on-site project management and supervision, as well. The company’s resume consisted of residential, commercial, and industrial projects of all types, from kitchen and bathroom renovations to elevator hoistways.

In 1998, Jonathan decided to leave the family business and return to his roots of finish carpentry, cabinetry and millwork. Scaling back and redirecting his focus, he has spent the last several years honing his finish skills by concentrating on projects such as kitchens, bathrooms, built-in custom cabinetry and interior finish carpentry. Jonathan is able to utilize his considerable experience and expertise in all phases of construction to specialize in the things he loves most.
