Mark Tanner Construction

Since 1994

After graduating from U.C. Davis with his degree in Political Science, Mark pursued his passion for building. This love of construction started when Mark was in high school and worked on the family ranch in Jackson, California doing small repairs as needed on many of the older buildings located there.
During the construction process of your home Mark will be intently focused on the project. From the bid process to the last finish nail, Mark has a hands on approach to building. Mark Tanner Construction considers each home an expression of the clients imagination. Our design team will give you as much or as little help as you need in creating an environment that is healthy, peaceful, and inspirational for the entire family.

Bryan Wiere

Cabinet/Interior Millwork Supervisor

Bryan and Mark first met when they were fraternity brothers at UC Davis. After graduating with degrees in Managerial and Agricultural economics in 1991, Bryan began his first construction project; a guest cottage for his grandmother where he drew the plans and self performed every trade. Upon completion, Bryan returned to college, taking a year of courses in architectural drafting and design while getting hands on experience in numerous construction trades, from frame to finish. Realizing his passion for woodworking, he began to focus on interior millwork and cabinetry and his addition in 1999 allowed us to open up our own in-house cabinet division. If you can dream it, Bryan can design and build it.
