Where Steel Meets Pine

Steel Pines started in 2015 with a shared desire to slow things down, build something of our own, and spend more time working with our favorite material: wood.

The name comes from the meeting of two very different backgrounds.

Darcie spent eight years in New York City, including time as a Senior Editor at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, building a career around production, project management, and bringing complicated ideas to life.

Mark grew up near the Adirondacks and spent as much time outdoors as he could. With more than 20 years of experience in construction, mechanics, and woodworking, he brings hands-on expertise across everything from structural framing and masonry to detailed finish work.

Steel and pine. Industrial and natural. Different backgrounds that turned out to work pretty well together.

How we work

Craft Matters

We care about the things you see and the things you don’t. Good construction starts with doing the underlying work right and carries all the way through to the final details.

Be Straight with People

Building is a significant investment. We believe in clear communication, organized estimates, defined expectations, and honest conversations about the decisions that affect your project.

Build for the Long Haul

We think beyond how something looks on move-in day. Materials, methods, climate, maintenance, and durability all matter when you’re building something meant to last.

Let’s build something worth keeping.

Have a property, a set of plans, or just the beginning of an idea? Tell us what you’re thinking. We’d love to hear about it.
