Jonathan Merz has worked as a custom builder, restoring, renovating and constructing thoughtfully designed spaces, for more than 30 years. Prior to starting Merz Construction in 1986, Jonathan was a professional boatbuilder and gained extensive experience in architectural millwork and finish carpentry. Today, we are respected for the quality craftsmanship of the high-end residential homes we build. Jonathan’s deep understanding of each element involved in residential construction, reverence for New England’s vernacular architecture and passion for the challenges posed by more contemporary styles underpin our focus on building custom homes. A master craftsman, Jonathan is actively involved in every project while managing a talented team of project managers, site supervisors, carpenters and operations staff.
