Nashville Area Home Renovations + Remodeling
Meet The Bridger Team
The people behind the quality – and the trust – we’re known for.
John Marquez
President
After earning my B.S. in Construction Engineering Technology from Montana State University in Bozeman, I packed my truck and headed for Nashville with little more than a vision and a strong work ethic. In 2022, I founded Bridger Design + Build – a company built on craftsmanship, integrity, and genuine care for the homeowners we serve.
What began as one man and a few tools has grown into a trusted local team working across Middle Tennessee. As Bridger has expanded, I’ve stayed closely involved in every project, making sure each home – whether it’s siding, fascia and trim, gutters, painting, or a full exterior renovation – receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that inspired me to start this business.
For me, construction is about more than materials and measurements. It’s about communication, earning trust, and creating results that improve people’s lives long after the job is done.
When I’m not on a job site, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my dog, Buddy. And once fall rolls around, you’ll probably find me at Lucas Oil Stadium cheering on the Colts – even if I’m surrounded by a few good-natured Titans fans.
“At Bridger Design & Build, we’re not just another contractor. We’re helping shape a better community – one project, one partnership, one home at a time. We believe in growing responsibly, supporting our team, and creating a future worth believing in.”
“Positive things happen to positive people,” John says — and it’s a principle that continues to shape the way we build, lead, and serve our clients every day.

“Do it right, do it once – and always with a smile.”
Roberto Gavarrete

Roberto, one of Bridger’s earliest team members, is known for precision and pride in every detail. He oversees quality control, ensuring each project meets Bridger’s exacting standards. Roberto, brings craftsmanship and quiet confidence to the Nashville team.

The Bridger Approach
Bridger Design & Build began with a simple belief: that great craftsmanship and genuine care should define every home project – no exceptions.
What started with John Marquez and a clear vision has grown into a trusted team serving homeowners throughout Middle Tennessee. From Franklin and Brentwood to the surrounding communities, Bridger is recognized for honest craftsmanship, reliable service, and a culture built on integrity. As the company has expanded, so has its commitment to delivering a better experience for every homeowner.
We specialize in exterior renovations – siding, fascia & trim, gutters, painting, drywall, masonry, and additions. However, what truly sets us apart is the way we approach each project. Every home, no matter the size, receives the same attention to detail, clear communication, and dedication to doing things the right way. Because of this approach, many of our clients return to us for future work.
At Bridger Design & Build, building isn’t just about materials. Ultimately, it’s about earning trust, improving lives, and creating results that last long after the job is done.
