Our Team
Adam Clarke
CEO/Owner
Adam is a lifelong builder who began building skate ramps as a kid and continued his love for craft in high school woodshop.

In 2015, the business was incorporated and the name became A Clarke Construction, Inc.
Doing things the right way and taking pride in your work are company benchmarks. "It's much easier to teach good habits early than to undo years of bad ones".
