Project 04 / Coffee Nook Conversion

Coffee Nook Built from a Damaged Bathroom

This project transformed an unwanted bathroom beside the kitchen into a custom coffee nook after severe water damage made the original space a good candidate for a full conversion. The finished result adds charm, function, and a dedicated prep area while making better use of the layout.

About Blackhorse Construction

Built on Integrity. Rooted in Service. Driven by Craftsmanship.

Our Story

Blackhorse Construction LLC is a veteran owned, family operated construction company proudly based in Tenino, Washington. After serving in the United States Army and spending more than five years working in the trades, Mat wanted to build something of his own. A business centered on doing good work, treating people right, and being proud of what he puts his name on.

The name Blackhorse has a story that began long before the company. It comes from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Irwin, California, the Army unit where Mat and Lauren first met. What started as two people crossing paths in the military became a marriage, a family, and eventually a shared dream.

Today, Blackhorse focuses on residential remodeling, carpentry, repairs, and home improvements. To us, each project is an opportunity to listen, work hard, keep learning, and create something that makes a homeowner proud.

Blackhorse Construction LLC is proud to be a Washington State Certified Veteran-Owned Business, bringing the values of military service, integrity, and accountability to every project.

ALLONS! Let's Go!

Meet the Owners

We're a husband and wife team who bring different strengths to the same mission: make the experience personal and do the work right.

01 / IN THE FIELD

Mat

Founder & Field Operations

Mat is a United States Army veteran with more than five years of experience in the trades, including residential remodeling, carpentry, and HVAC. His background combines hands-on craftsmanship with experience in production management, giving him a well-rounded understanding of the teamwork and attention to detail that go into a successful project.

Mat genuinely enjoys working with his hands, solving problems, and watching a vision come to life. For him, construction is more than just a way to earn a living. It's an opportunity to take pride in his work, continue learning, sharpen his skills, and give every homeowner the care and effort their project deserves.

02 / BEHIND THE SCENES

Lauren

Co-Owner & Business Operations

Lauren is the friendly first point of contact for many Blackhorse customers. With a bachelor's degree in Applied Business Management, she handles customer communication, scheduling, administration, and the organization that keeps the company moving.

She's also Mat's biggest supporter and motivator. Together, they combine hands-on craftsmanship with thoughtful planning and a genuine commitment to the people they serve.

Our Family, Our Future

More than a business. A family legacy.

Behind Blackhorse are two parents raising five daughters who are already eager to learn the family trade. We know a home is where life happens, and we believe every home deserves the same care and respect we'd want for our own.

We're building more than a company. We're building something our family can take pride in for generations.
