Who we are

Jason DeBaker has a 25-year legacy in the architectural and construction industry, and has established himself as a leading figure in all aspects of the field. Spending the earlier half of that time as a Managing Principal of a Design/Build firm, he’s had the opportunity to collaborate on some of the best architecture in the Chicago land area. With his primary focus on high end residential, he was always looking to expand his knowledge on how to push the boundaries of design and construction.

This lead to spending more time in the field which eventually turned into a new focus on project management. With his expertise now extending beyond mere design and construction management, Jason has worked on projects that range from a simple renovation to $20+ million new construction. This range of work has provided an opportunity to both work with some of the industries leaders as well as developing systems and strategies that focus on pairing quality of craftsmanship and staying within budget parameters. This comprehensive approach ensures that we can adeptly address every requirement of your project and provide a seamless experience from inception to completion.

Our commitment to exceptional customer service is the cornerstone of our operations. This dedication has enabled us to forge lasting relationships with property owners who place their trust in us. They rely on our ability to deliver projects that not only meet but exceed their expectations in quality and attention to detail. At Blacksmith, we don’t just construct buildings; we build enduring partnerships based on trust, quality, and unparalleled service.
