About Mani Marte
Mani is the heart behind Armada Construction. A Dominican in Chicago, he’s been a member of the local DIY punk scene for years, and he brings the same creativity, resourcefulness, and hands-on problem-solving he learned there to every home remodel.
From custom floors to kitchens and bathrooms, Mani combines over 20 years of experience with a punk rock mindset — bold, practical, and unapologetically detail-oriented.
More than just a contractor, he builds homes with honesty, grit, and the DIY spirit he’s lived his whole life.
