Our Story
Built on How People Feel Working With Us
DSFLA was built on a simple belief — that how a client feels throughout the process matters just as much as the finished product.
We're a referral-based business, which means our reputation is everything. We've stayed consistently busy not through advertising, but through the relationships we build and the work we deliver.
Every project gets the same level of attention, communication, and follow-through.
Mark Tolson (Founder)
The Person Behind the Business
Mark Tolson founded DSFLA, Inc. in 2001 as a development services company focused on land development and construction. After the Great Recession of 2009, the business shifted toward general contracting and renovations and has operated that way ever since.
Mark's background made the transition a natural one. With a Structural and Civil Engineering degree from the University of Pittsburgh and experience as a partner on the development teams behind communities like The Strand Golf and Country Club, Olde Cypress, and Grandezza, he brought a level of technical depth that most contractors simply don't have.
Our People
A Team That Shows Up
We treat our team the same way we treat our clients — with respect, transparency, and a commitment to doing things right. The people we work with are vetted, proven, and invested in the outcome of every project.
Our Values
What We Stand For
Communication First
We keep clients informed at every stage. No surprises, no silence, and no guessing.
Full Transparency
Honest timelines, honest pricing, and honest conversations — even when it's not what you want to hear.
Trusted Vendor Network
We work with a vetted team of trades and vendors who share our standards and our commitment to quality.
Done Right the First Time
We don't cut corners. We'd rather take the time to do it properly than have to come back and fix it later.
