We Love Our Clients

"Mark & Amanda created our dream beach house - this father-daughter duo didn't disappoint. They are very knowledgable with the township and county building codes. They were communicative during the whole process and accommodated all our special requests without any hassle. It was a pleasure to work with them both. Thank you to the whole Beam family for all your hard work in making our dream come true."

"We added a room to our home in Fenwick Island that Beam Construction recently finished for us. I couldn't imagine anything more perfect, it's more than I expected. They always showed up, answered any questions we had, and stayed within our budget. The whole experience was awesome. We've already recommended them to many of our friends! So happy with everything and special shout out to Amanda!"

"Great work! We put an addition on the rear of our beach property. Mark & Amanda were responsive to our needs and at a reasonable cost. We made major changes late in the project, and they were able to accommodate with minimal delay and a fair price! Amanda & Mark were great at keeping us informed and responding to our questions - they were very helpful throughout the project! We're extremely happy with our new addition."

"Beam Homes has been so easy to work with. Love everything they did for our renovation. Not living at that beach during the renovation, Mark, Amanda & Greg were easy to reach and always available when I needed to make any changes or didn’t understand something. They had great ideas and were prepared for changes. Truly a family business that cares."

I have been a local real estate agent at the beach since 1996. I have recommended a number of my clients to Beam as they do the best work in this area. No one builds a more solid house than Mark & Amanda. Interior spaces are well thought out and designed to perfection. Make sure you call them if you’re thinking of building a house.

"Mark built a home for me in ‘94. When I decided to build another in 2019 at the shore, I didn't look to anyone but Beam for these reasons: Quality, attention to design and detail, timeliness, integrity, and honesty. I wouldn't think twice to recommend them to anyone!"

History

1970s

A former member of the Philadelphia Brick Layers Union, Mark's father, Harold Beam, managed large scale commercial jobs throughout his career such as Veterans Stadium and the Smithsonian. As a 14 year-old, Mark got his start in the industry by assisting his father in laying brick for their legendary Fenwick beach home, the "Red House".

1980s

Mark would go on to work for local contractors through his early twenties, including Charlie Zonko, with his involvement in a first real ground-up construction project being right on Oyster Bay Drive in Fenwick Island. Mark then ventured to Baltimore, gaining experience rehabbing and renovating historic row homes throughout the downtown area.

1992

While in Baltimore, Mark met met his wife, Tami, and later returned to Fenwick Island, Delaware to start his business - Beam Construction, Inc. Mark knew there was no place he would rather settle down, start a family, and own a business than by the beach.

1993 - 2015

Mark leads Beam Construction and lands over 100 new home projects over the next 30 years in coastal Delaware and Maryland. He establishes lasting relationships with other subcontractors and vendors in the area, some of which Beam Homes still works with today.

2016 - 2019

As Beam Construction grew so did its relationships with the building community. While running his business, Mark took the opportunity to gain experience and scale his reach in the higher-end custom home market in Rehoboth, Lewes, and Dewey Beach through consulting with Lane Builders for five years.

2020 - today

After the COVID-19 pandemic, Mark’s daughter Amanda joined Beam Homes. From sketching floor plans as a child to working alongside Mark today, Amanda always knew that building was in her future. She brings fresh energy, a modern perspective, and is proud to carry the torch as a next-generation woman in construction.
