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!

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.
