Craig J. Tice – Founder

Craig grew up in White Bear Lake, MN and after earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Operations Management from the University St. Thomas, he studied Architectural Drafting & Design and Estimating at Dunwoody College of Technology. Following a three-year stint with a custom builder in Stillwater, Craig started Tice Construction Inc. in 1991 which specializes in Vacation Homes in Nothwestern Wisconsin. Craig has since acquired and grown both Tice-Hause Design Build specializing in custom homes and remodeling in the St Croix Valley area and J.G. Hause Construction, which services the entire metro area with residential and commercial/multi-unit exteriors. Tice received the Big50 Award from Remodeling Magazine in 2002. A uniquely meaningful honor based on the recognition of industry owner/peers as one of the 50 best run companies in the nation. In addition to his leadership role within his own company, Craig has become an active steward of several industry organizations including the National Remodeling Leadership Council, National Association of Home Builders, National Association of the Remodeling Industry, Northland Area Builders Association, and the Wisconsin Builders Association. Craig’s continuous pursuit of excellence has created success for all three of his companies, their staff and clients. And when he isn’t patiently building others up, he’s sailing on Lake superior with family and friends.

Julia Tice – Director Of Marketing

How do you find a marketing director you can trust? You marry her. Julia has been helping small businesses shine for more than twenty-five years. She did her degree work in marketing at Condordia University in St. Paul, where she earned Summa Cum Laude. She also has her social media master certification from Splash Media U. Julia has done a lot of great pro-bono work for her favorite causes over the years. She began her media career as an Account Manager at WLTE FM and while she was a top sales performer there, the creative process was what really lit her up, so she started Lighthouse Marketing Media which is a local company based in Stillwater with many recognizable companies in her resume of clients over the years. From strategy to brand identity to splashy social media and digital marketing campaigns Julia has marketing in her DNA and when you couple that with business ownership, you pretty much reach superhero status. She’s also a doting mom and animal saver, so sainthood is probably next.

Mary Place – General Manager & Controller

Mary is great at all the stuff most people aren’t, like accounting and human resources. With several years of administration experience in both residential and commercial construction, no one is better equipped to oversee our budget, payroll, financial analysis and more. If it has a decimal point, it’s Mary’s domain. She’s also a whiz at enforcing internal controls, policy and procedure, keeping everyone in line…with each other and our professional partners. She makes it feel like things are always under control. No one has a more fitting title.

Jeff (Mac) McDonell – Sales & Project Management

After 30 years in the industry, Mac has been there and back. He’s designed and managed site development all over the country from Harrah’s Casinos to Lifetime Fitness Facilities. He worked on the corporate side of the residential building industry with Hans Hagen Homes and has independently developed single-family and multi-family home sites as well. At J.G. house, Mac is part of the residential and commercial, single and multi-family exteriors sales team. He spends much of his time monitoring the daily progress of our workflow, so hit him up with questions or feedback anytime. He’s more responsive than your mom.

Tommy Parent – Sales & Project Manager

Tommy is as resourceful as they come and all the things he does at J.G. Hause perfectly suit his skill set. He’s a whiz at sales, an excellent production manager, and incredibly nimble in assisting with many facets of our residential and commercial, multi-unit and single family home exteriors. Tommy has decades of experience with exteriors and also happens to be an expert in commercial flat roofing and storm damage. He’s a great communicator who we rely on to interface with property managers and municipalities on commercial and public projects. And, as his name would indicate, he’s great Dad.

Tony Schoo – Project management & Quality Control

Tony began as a master carpenter and exterior expert for J.G. Hause in 2008, then moved into project management. His middle name is integrity and his other middle name is quality control. (Long name but he lives up to it.) Not only will he be inspecting your project in depth and daily to ensure quality and code compliance, but you’ll like having him around. He is the original people person. Crews like him, clients like him, and we feel grateful to have him.

Jamie Iverson – Inspection & Quality Control

Jamie has been with J.G. Hause for over 20 years. Aside from being an expert in all things roofing, he brings to each job an in-depth understanding of residential and commercial construction, an eye for quality, and excellent people skills, which is why he’s our front-of-the-Hause customer liaison ensuring all work meets strict industry standards and any warranty-related inquiries are promptly addressed and resolved.
