For over 44 years, Mark has been practicing putting people first with the Menno S. Martin team of skilled trade professionals<\/a>. This May, we wish Mark a pleasant farewell as he retires from his role as Project Manager.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Respecting the homes of his clients, as if their homes were his own, has been Mark\u2019s philosophy over the years. He\u2019s a keen listener and loves solving problems with creative solutions. As he focuses on his personal interests of birding, gardening and travel, we wish him all the best.<\/p>\n

Mark has worked on some really interesting projects, and his care and commitment to his role has really paid off. Here\u2019s what some of his clients have had to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cMenno S. Martin did an excellent job of waterproofing and renovating our basement. The workmanship was excellent, the project manager – Mark Baumann was professional, kept us informed, and the staff were very helpful, professional and did a fantastic job. We are going to hire them again to renovate our kitchen!\u201d A.R.C. Guelph, Ontario<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter interviewing, we ranked each contractor on a scale of 1-10, based simply on gut feeling. Our first, Mark Bauman from Menno S. Martin \u2026 ranking \u2026 10+! After interviewing the remaining 3, our decision was obvious \u2026 Menno S. Martin!\u201d Christy, Waterloo, Ontario<\/p>\n

Mark has been involved in some pretty amazing projects here at Menno S. Martin. Here are a few snippets from some of his projects.<\/p>\n
