From the Ground Up: Our Story Every great home starts with a solid foundation—and so did Marbs Renovation. Over 25 years ago, Manuel Hernandez stepped onto his first job site as a framer. It wasn’t just a job; it was an apprenticeship in the soul of a home. Guided by a close family friend, Manuel spent those first five years mastering the "bones" of construction. But he knew that to truly serve the families of the Puget Sound and Kent County, he needed to understand the whole picture. Manuel spent the next two decades immersing himself in every trade, learning how electrical, plumbing, and finish work weave together to create a sanctuary. The Marbs Difference: Quality Without Compromise Four years ago, Manuel turned that lifelong expertise into a mission. He founded Marbs Renovation with a clear realization: his true strength lies in being the bridge between a client’s dream and the finished reality.

We found rot in our highly customized railing so had them replace that as well. Then we got an idea for a built in pergola which they added also. There were some snafus with supply chain that Manuel and team worked through. I appreciated the constant communication. Rarely do you find a contractor who schedules your work realistically and then sticks to that schedule. It was impressive! **Comment from Marbs Renovation:** > Thanks Tiffany for giving us the opportunity to earn your business. We really enjoyed the creative journey of your deck transformation—from the new TimberTech surface to that custom pergola. We know that finding rot can be a stressful surprise, but it was an honor to help you navigate those 'snafus' and turn them into something beautiful. Thanks for your patience and for trusting us to keep things on track. Hoping your enjoying your new outdoor sanctuary! **★★★★★ — Daniel Sailer, March 2022** > I am very pleased with the work that was done by Marbs Renovation. I had a large, porcelain pavers patio installed. It is comprised of a bed or gravel, sand, finished with applying polymeric sand and sealed. They were hardworking, always on time and put in a full day's work. The pavers' pattern involved three different sizes put together in a pattern that repeated across the length of the patio. They cut and adjusted the tile where needed and created a beautiful patio for me. I also have a three year warranty on their work. I would whole hardheartedly recommend them to others thinking of this and other outside projects. The owner is a general contractor and is capable of various construction and landscaping projects. **Comment from Marbs Renovation:** > Thanks Daniel for the wonderful recommendation! It was truly a joy to see your new patio come to life—that three-size pattern required a lot of focus and precision, and our team loved the challenge of getting every cut just right for you. We take a lot of pride in building spaces, and look forward helping you with anything else you need. Enjoy those beautiful days outside on your new patio! **★★★★★ — Nathaniel Grant, Jan. 2022** > Manuel and his team are hard-working and care deeply about quality and making sure the customer is happy with their work. He's done 3 sizable projects for us now - he's my go-to-guy for any and all house/landscape/hardscape projects. **Comment from Marbs Renovation:** > Thanks Nate. We had so much fun meeting the challenging and precise work needed to deliver great results for you.
