Chamber to Hosts Ribbon Cutting for Mad Construction
The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony welcoming MAD Construction as one of its newest members. The event celebrated the entrepreneurial spirit of Mark and Deena Powell, the husband-and-wife team behind the growing local business.
Amanda Roberts, Membership Engagement Specialist for the Chamber, shared her enthusiasm for supporting family-owned businesses like MAD Construction. “Small businesses, especially those that are family-owned, are really the bedrock of so many communities,” said Roberts. “When people come in and talk from the heart about what they’ve built—their blood, sweat, tears, and finances—you can feel their passion. When Mark came in and showed me reels of his beautiful floor work, I was so excited because he has that drive and dedication. Every nickel and dime goes back into their family business.”
Owner Mark Powell thanked the Chamber and attendees for their support. “MAD Construction gets its name from Mark and Deena—MAD,” he said with a smile. “Deena is the organization behind the business. We specialize in three different types of epoxy and concrete polishing. Our goal is to offer high-quality results at an affordable price—often half to two-thirds the cost of traditional tear-out and remodel projects.”
MAD Construction provides a variety of services including polyaspartic floor coatings, epoxy enamel, crosslink powder coating, concrete staining, and countertop finishes. “New businesses watching every penny can have a polished concrete floor for about $2.30 per square foot,” Powell explained. “There’s really no other flooring that looks as good for that price.”
Co-owner Deena Powell added, “Mark does an excellent job, and we offer many color choices. You can visit our Facebook page and website, MAD Construction, to see examples of our work—like the Cave City Assembly Church floors.”
