Who We Are
We want to help make your home more beautiful.
Sayre Builders is a family-owned and operated business since 1998 serving the local community and beyond. Our concentration is placed in the construction of stick-built new homes, barndominiums, and top-of-the-line custom modular Heckaman Homes.
We are a local general contractor that plays a role in the community by hiring local help and sub contractors. This allows us to be personally involved in the decisions that make our projects fit your needs. We allow you to work with a contractor where the owner of the business is in the middle of the operations of your project.
It’s not only about working with you on your project or completing the project to fit your needs. The quality of our work reflects directly on our family’s name. We will not compromise quality on your project, because we value your home and the work that we do. We commit to a well-finished, quality result in making your home more beautiful.

As the owner and lead general contractor, Mark Sayre brings a deeply personal touch to every project Sayre Builders undertakes. With over 25 years of experience and a seat on the Board of Directors for the Jackson Home Builders Association, Mark blends professional expertise with a genuine passion for his craft. He thrives on being hands-on and staying in the middle of daily operations, ensuring that his family’s name remains synonymous with quality and integrity. For Mark, building isn't just about structures; it's about being a personable, reliable neighbor who takes pride in every home he helps create.
I love what I do. I get to own these jobs. I become personally involved and love the hands-on aspect of what I get to do. It’s important that I do it well. I like to think I am personable. If we run into each other in public, a friendly hello would take place.

Insurance Work
If you have an insurance claim, we are here to help you. Simply tell your agent that you would like to work with Sayre Builders. Many people are led to believe that they must go with a builder that their insurance company suggests. In most cases this is just not true; don't let them tell you differently. You have a right to select the builder of your choice.
