Marc Cockerham

Founder / CEO

Marc brings numerous years of expert, hands-on experience in the construction trade to our clients as well as an extensive knowledge of production management. In addition, he leads a team of highly skilled carpenters and staff and has cultivated deep relationships with expert sub-contractors and vendors who are trusted by him to give his clients the best possible experience.

Starting his first company in 1993, Marc began his career in construction as the hands-on owner behind his bathroom refinishing and repairs business. Committed to producing excellent work and cultivating personal client relationships, he quickly became the trusted source for remodels and repairs within his client network. He expanded his business to address the growing need in his community for a skilled, honest carpenter and continued as a self-employed craftsman, honing and expanding his skillset and diving into his growing passion for business development. 

After leaving his successful residential construction company in Greensboro, North Carolina, and transplanting to St. Louis in 2011, he soon realized that his love for business development, client relations, and the craft was still as strong as ever.

He began doing repair and remodel projects for friends in the St. Louis area and his reputation for superior work, strong character, and lasting client relationships soon built a strong foundation for the birth of 5stone in 2015 in St. Louis, Missouri. He now leads a skilled design-build and renovation team serving St. Louis and its most sought-after neighborhoods.
