Mark Bohon
After working in restaurants and sales, Mark Bohon found his love of construction in the late 1980’s. Working with a local contractor on remodels and small additions in Piedmont and Oakland, he had the opportunity to learn every phase of construction, including concrete/foundations, framing and finish carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, cabinetry, countertops, and interior and exterior finishes. These skills proved indispensable after the Oakland hills fire of 1991, when building homes became essential. Throughout the ’90s, Mark learned to manage all construction phases, from planning to completion.
In 1999, Mark launched his own company, The BohonGroup, Inc. which he ran for over 18 years. He has more than 30 years of construction experience, from “down to the studs” remodels, to additions to new homes on some of the most challenging job sites in the Bay Area. Along the way, he honed communication skills to streamline the permitting process and inspections with various city and county agencies, and developed extensive knowledge of fine design, specialized construction techniques, engineering, code and regulatory requirements, specifications, and materials.
Mark teamed up with Kristofer in 2021 as the two decided to bridge their common bond in construction with shared values of quality, integrity, and honesty. They have the foundation of a 20-year friendship, and a shared love of preparing great meals together. When not working, Mark can be found cooking with family and friends, getting frustrated with his golf game, and riding his bike as often as possible.
