Generations of Building. One Uncompromising Standard.
Maverick Design & Construction stands on decades of hard work, hands-on job site craftsmanship, and family integrity started by Ron Smith (1944–2024).
Ron taught that a home isn't just lumber and concrete—it's a sacred promise to a family. Long before blueprints are finalized, trust must be earned on the job site every single day.
"Build every home like your own family will sleep under that roof. Never cut a corner you wouldn't stand behind ten years from now."
Marcus carries those exact values forward today on every custom home, remodel, and addition we build across Tampa Bay.
Our Core Values
The foundation of everything we build, how we treat every homeowner, and how we lead our craftspeople on every job site across Tampa Bay.
FAITH
We believe that Judeo-Christian values should be the foundation for everything we do.
FAMILY
The most important people to all of us are family, and the people we work with are an extension of that family.
EXCELLENCE
The quality of being outstanding or extremely good. We strive for excellence in everything we do.
INTEGRITY
The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, even when no one is looking.
CANDOR
Being able to be open and honest in a safe environment without the threat of retaliation.
CREATIVITY
The use of imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of artistic work.

"When You Call Maverick, You Speak to Marcus."
We started Maverick Design & Construction because homeowners in Tampa Bay were frustrated with impersonal corporate builders and disorganized contractors. We believe building your custom home or reimagining your living space should be an invigorating, collaborative experience.
We purposefully limit the number of custom homes and major renovations we take on simultaneously. This ensures we're personally on your job site, inspecting framing, scrutinizing finishes, and answering your questions every single week.
