About the Company

Bill Markt began his company in 1977 under the name Markt & Myers. In 1980, Rick Myers left to work in the weather-stripping business, and Bill’s company became known as Markt & Company Construction. Markt & Company has always been run as a family business, with Bill’s son Jonathan involved in the company throughout his childhood and after graduating college. In 2008, Jonathan and his wife Wendy joined the company as partners. Projects range from small projects and repairs to large additions and custom remodels. We do little advertising; the projects have always come through repeat customers and referrals.

Jonathan Markt

Jonathan started working at Markt & Company as a part-time employee while completing his schooling at the University of Oregon. After working as a carpenter in Montana, he returned to us as a full-time employee in 2003 and became an owner in 2007. He has a wide range of carpentry skills, as well as experience in customer service and project management. In 2012, Jonathan qualified as a Certified Remodeler through the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.

Wendy Markt

Wendy joined our team in December 2007 as co-owner. She previously was a financial advisor and manager with Ameriprise Financial, working with clients on saving towards their retirement and other goals. Her customer service, administrative experience, and attention to detail have been indispensable in her role as office manager, bookkeeper and marketing manager for Markt & Company.

“This is our second big project with Markt & Company as the contractor. This first project was so successful we knew they would be our only contractor in the future and we were not disappointed when we used them for this remodel of the main bathroom… With their guidance and the excellent help of their designer Ellie Wellstead, they turned this into a very functional and glamorous space…I love it!”
