Mast Builders is owned by Daniel and Karyn Mast. We have been in business since 1989 and have built and remodeled over 120 custom homes. Our team has approximately 100 years of combined experience. We pride ourselves on exceptional quality and integrity. Daniel’s father, an Amish cabinet-maker and woodworker, taught Daniel the value of providing quality to all his clients.
Specializing in kitchens and bathrooms, we are fully licensed and insured and have a Class-A contractor’s license that enables us to handle any of your remodeling needs. Working with Miller Home Improvements, our team helped create a stunning kitchen that won the Chrysalis 2016 National Award for a Kitchen Remodel over $150,000. We transformed a cramped, too-small kitchen into a beautiful, open space – view this spectacular kitchen on our “Kitchens” page. Our goal is to consistently provide you with high-quality work that brings your dreams to life and turns your home into a space that you will love for years to come.

Our Team
Daniel Mast – Owner/Designer/Manager
Karyn Mast – Owner/Secretary/Finance Manager
Daniel, a third-generation craftsman and cabinet-maker, was born in Canton, Ohio to a very traditional, hard-working Amish family. He worked with his father in his cabinet/millwork shop for approximately 10 years, and fondly remembers that his first woodworking project was a wooden row boat.
As a young adult, Daniel wanted to be a full line contractor. That dream became a reality in 1989. He then became a Class-A contractor in 1991, which has helped him pursue his dream of creating beautiful masterpieces for his clients.
Daniel and Karyn were married in 2015. Daniel has six children and fourteen grandchildren. Karyn has seven children and two grandchildren. Karyn was born and raised in Maryland and enjoys gardening, reading and spending time with her family.
Both Daniel and Karyn are very committed to Jesus, and are very active in their local church. Karyn has also taken on the responsibility of financial manager for Mast Builders, and helps facilitate the open and positive client communication that Mast Builders prides itself on.
Jeff Ericson – Superintendent
Jeffrey has always been a hands-on type of person and he loves what he does. He lives with his wife Ann in Mathews County, where he was raised. They have been married for 33 years and still look forward to being together at the end of each day. They have a daughter and three grandchildren, and they enjoy gardening together. As long-time members of their church, they are involved in several helps ministries.
Jeffrey gives all of the credit for his skills and abilities to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – “for without Him, I am nothing.” One of his favorite verses is Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.”
Grace Emminizer – apprentice in training
Grace, born and raised in the Northern Neck of Virginia, is a determined, hardworking individual who, as the youngest of seven siblings. She has always enjoyed working with her hands: from helping her father in the yard to her very first paid landscaping job at nine years old. Later, she spent three years working on a horse farm which allowed her to gain even more labor intensive experience. To this day she continues to do landscaping in different capacities when the opportunity arises. Upon graduating high school, at seventeen years old in 2019, Grace was strongly considering starting her own landscaping business until she was offered a job with Mast Builders early in 2020. Having always been curious about the ins and outs of the construction industry she accepted the position and has greatly enjoyed learning new skills from such talented craftsmen. Even from a young age playing soccer, Grace remembers she would quote to herself “In everything I do I will do it as unto the Lord” a moto which she still strives to live by to this day. She takes great pride in a job well done and gives all thanks to God for the ability and strength he has given her to learn and grow in work and in life. With hopes to one day get her contractor’s license, she plans to continue in this line of work and devote her time outside of work to young adult ministries in her community.
