Vince Mariola, Owner
From the moment Vince began working as a carpenter when he was 17, he was hooked. The combination of thinking creatively and building something with his own hands was so fulfilling, he stuck with it. He learned on-the-job, helping a builder in Shreve, a timber framer in Burbank and in a carpentry shop throughout college. The more he did it, the more he enjoyed it.
Vince gained carpentry and general construction experience as a journeyman carpenter and was working for a millwork specialist in New Orleans when his brother, local restaurateur Mike Mariola, asked if Vince would come back to Wooster to build his family’s home. That project launched Vince Mariola Construction, as he found himself reveling in the opportunity to be the general contractor—to be in control of every aspect of the job through completion.
Since 2014, Vince Mariola Construction has taken on a wide variety of projects in Wooster and the surrounding areas. From historic preservation to restaurant build-outs to new homes from the ground-up, Vince and his team have built a trusted and well-respected reputation for truly custom residential and commercial projects.
Zach Sarbach, Supervisor
While he was 16 and still in school, Zach began working part-time with Vince through a work placement program. That was 10 years ago, and he hasn’t looked back. He enjoys the family-like culture of his crew—sharing camaraderie and a strong work ethic with his co-workers. Our go-to tile expert, Zach believes it’s the quality of craftsmanship that sets Vince Mariola Construction apart from other general contractors. And seeing the end result of a project coming together is one of the best parts of the job for him…especially when they take on historical preservation projects.
Blake Yates, Supervisor
Since he was 14 years old, Blake has been building his construction knowledge. He has been working full-time for Vince Mariola Construction for four years and enjoys any part of the job that takes him outdoors—framing, windows, siding, doors. He likes the feeling of working on people’s homes and making them happy with the detailed work the crew brings. And he feels that the company culture of “best idea wins,” regardless of seniority, gives his team an edge and ensures that their clients get their best work.
Adam Baltic, Carpenter
Adam has been on the crew for more than a year, bringing 5 years of prior experience with him. He appreciates the variety of projects he gets to work on with Vince Mariola Construction, especially the residential jobs because helping homeowners realize their dreams is especially rewarding. For Adam it’s the breadth of skillset on the crew and their dedication to getting the details right that makes them stand out as local builders.
