The roots of JM Construction trace back to the early 20th century when our great-grandfather initiated a construction venture in Southern California, moving from Hershey, Pennsylvania. This legacy was significantly advanced by Mark Snyder, known as “The Builder of the Pacific Palisades,” whose expert craftsmanship and community involvement set a high standard. His influence was further carried forward by Jim Marshall, who joined the family business in 1969 and expanded its reach, earning the nickname “The Builder to the Stars” in the ’80s. Today, this tradition continues with the fourth generation, Mark Marshall, maintaining the family’s commitment to superior construction and client satisfaction.

JM Construction stands as an independent, family-owned entity, proud of its over a century-long history that spans four generations.

We are dedicated to exceeding client expectations through exceptional service, innovative solutions, and an unwavering focus on quality. This commitment to excellence is a testament to our founders’ vision, ensuring that every project we undertake reflects our heritage of integrity, craftsmanship, and community engagement.
