About Marcus
Marcus founded TrustyFix in 2008 after 15 years running a residential general contracting business in the Pacific Northwest. The company handled everything from full kitchen and bath remodels to whole-house renovations, and it was that frustration — homeowners constantly asking him 'how do I find someone like you in my city?' — that led to the matching-platform idea.
He sets the editorial direction for TrustyFix's contractor-vetting standards and weighs in personally on cost-guide methodology. He still pulls permits on his own remodel projects.
