One name on the truck.
One man on the job.
Poppa Mark Contracting is exactly what it sounds like — Mark. He's the owner, the lead hand, and the person who shows up at your door. No call center, no sales team between you and the guy doing the work.
Fix it right, from the stud out.
Mark started Poppa Mark on a simple standard: fix damaged walls the right way — open it up, fix what's actually wrong behind it, and finish it clean — instead of patching over the problem so it comes back in six months.
It's drywall-forward work: tear-out, stud repair, hang, tape, mud, sand, and the painting, turnovers, and cleanup that go with it — done old-school, no shortcuts.
From the stud out
We fix what's behind the wall, not just the surface.
No cover-ups
If a patch will just fail again, we open it up and do it right.

What happens when you send a photo.
You text a photo
Snap the damage and text it over — that's usually all we need to start.
You get a straight answer
Mark looks at it and gives you a real read plus a ballpark — usually same or next day.
We get you scheduled
If it's a fit, we lock in a time and take the wall from damaged to done.
