Helping active families build a timeless home that enhances their lifestyle.

Mission Statement

A home is made to be lived in, and needs to keep the inhabitants healthy while showing its beauty with age. By using timeless designs and building to standards above code, the home remains a healthy environment, avoids trends, and will pay dividends years later in the building’s longevity.

About us

Mudpaw specializes in complex and architecturally significant projects, most of which are new custom homes, or full renovations starting at $750/sf. Our workload is not to exceed two active projects per manager to ensure your project gets the appropriate attention needed.

Our in-house shop is able to handle detailed millwork and captures previous experience in digital modeling / machining producing furniture grade pieces.

Our Team

  • Marc Eves: Founder

    Marc is a keen, detailed oriented manager with skills across many disciplines of the construction industry. Holding a BS of Architecture from Roger William’s University, his ability to coordinate complex and contrasting facets of a construction project make him the ultimate Swiss army knife. He has several years of project management experience, having previously worked in New York and Connecticut for architecture firms, participating in design of projects upward of 20 million dollar budgets. Outside of work, Marc is also an avid skier and triathlete having coached multiple athletes to the national and professional level at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, and is a 4x Ironman finisher, including the world championships in Kona, Hawaii, and rowed crew throughout his collegiate career.

    “Through my love of traveling for an experience rather than for a destination, I have brought that same level of experience into the built environment”
