Jayson Schmidt | Owner
As a third-generation islander, construction has been part of my life from the beginning. After earning degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Business from Gonzaga University, I spent nearly nine years with McKinstry, one of the nation's leading design-build construction firms.
My wife Katie and I are proud to call San Juan Island home, where we are raising our two sons, Cameron and Connor. I founded San Juan Building Solutions to help clients navigate every stage of the building process—from planning and design to permitting, project management, and construction.
Drawing on experience in engineering, construction, and project management, I enjoy helping clients solve complex challenges and turn ideas into reality. Whether the project is a custom home, commercial development, aircraft hangar, specialty structure, or renovation, my goal is to provide practical solutions, clear communication, and successful project outcomes.
