I'm Mark Tivey. I live in Fleming Island. When you hire me, you get a licensed GC at every site visit — not a project manager, not a sub running their own timeline. Tell me about your project and see your real budget range in 90 seconds.
I'm a licensed FL general contractor (CGC1511598) and pool/spa contractor (RP252555575) based in Fleming Island. Veteran-owned. Same hands on every job. I built the estimator you just filled out from 37 years of real project history because the alternative is wasting an hour of your life on a sales call to find out you're already $40k over budget. Here's what happens after you click.
I built this from 37 years of real Clay, Duval, and St. Johns project history. Tell me the truth on scope and size and the number you see by question seven is the number I'd give you on a walk-through.
Not my crew, not a call center, not an assistant. I read every inquiry on my phone — usually inside the hour if you submit before 5p, always within 24 hours.
I open with the concern you flagged — budget, timeline, finishes, living through it — and walk you through the range, how I got there, and the next two or three decisions you actually need to make.
If your project's anywhere in NE Florida I drive to it on my own time. No fee, no obligation, no upsell to a designer-of-the-week. You get me, my measuring tape, and a real number.
Prefer to skip the form? Or scroll back up to it. Either way, you're talking to me — not an assistant.

Whole-home transformations I run end-to-end — floor plan, plumbing, electrical, finishes. One crew, one schedule, one decisions log.
Custom cabinetry, countertops, and layouts — built for NE Florida humidity and the way you actually cook. Demo to final finish under one contract.
Walk-in showers, custom vanities, modern fixtures. Waterproofed past code so the tile in front lasts as long as the structure behind it.
Square footage that matches your existing house — same siding, same roofline, no “bolted-on” tell. Permits + structural engineering handled.
Detached ADUs and attached in-law suites for multi-gen living. I work the current zoning rules into the design instead of fighting permits later.
Convert garage to bedroom, office, gym, or ADU. Slab moisture barrier, exterior matching, and code-compliant permits done right.
Equipment, plaster, tile, decks, screens, lighting, automation. I work on the pool you already own — upgrades and renovations only, no ground-up new builds. FL pool/spa license RP252555575.
Outdoor kitchens, decks, fire features, hardscape, and lighting — spec'd for FL humidity from day one. Marine-grade stainless, properly vented.

Renaissance polycarbonate sunrooms and four-season Florida rooms — 20–50% less than a traditional addition, ~3 weeks on-site work.
Office, retail, restaurant, and medical build-outs. $30M Mayo Clinic Jacksonville on my résumé — commercial inspections aren't a stretch.
Open-plan offices, conference rooms, hybrid-work redesigns, and tenant improvements. Acoustics designed in at framing, not after.
Full restaurant build-outs — kitchens with hood + suppression, bars, dining rooms, ADA restrooms. Open-by-date scheduling.
Exam rooms, dental ops, lead-shielded imaging, AHCA-permitted clinics. Hospital-grade permitting is a known pattern (Mayo Clinic Jacksonville).
Retail interiors, fitting rooms, cash-wraps, ADA-compliant storefronts. Open-by-date scheduling with the inspection cycle planned in.

Every quote below is verbatim from a Northeast Florida homeowner I've built for — names, roles, and ratings public on Google.
“Mark did several minor projects (drywall & wood floor repair due to water damage, change out toilets, install can LED and drop pendant lights) for me and I can say that he does an excellent job. He is very meticulous and has very high standards. He is also trustworthy that I felt comfortable giving him a key to my house so he can come and go even when I am away at work. Highly recommended and I will not think twice about calling him again when I need to get more projects done. 5 stars!”
“Mark and his team did some extensive repairs on my home while I was on the other side of the country. Mark's expertise in all facets (construction, price estimates, insurance companies, and customer service) truly shined and still greatly appreciated (the work was done over a year ago). Mark will definitely be my first call for my next construction job!!”Veteran Friendly
“Awesome company to sub for. Paid on time and even threw in extra to cover some work I overlooked on bid. From my experience if a company treats people that work for them good they also treat customers good!”
“Amazing, easy to work with, and always available to answer any questions I had. Will be the only company I use for future renovations!”
