MEET THE FOUNDER
THOMAS GARNER IV
Mengredients was founded by Thomas Garner IV—a Cleveland native who turned his skillset into a way forward when the world turned upside down. During the pandemic, Thomas, like many others, faced real challenges. Work slowed, resources ran thin, and survival meant relying on what you know. Using the trades he had mastered over years of hands-on work, he started helping neighbors and families in need—fixing, painting, building, cleaning—anything to get by and give back.
What began as a hustle became a calling. Mengredients was born not just from skill, but from necessity, grit, and community care. Today, Thomas leads a growing team committed to quality work and transformation—helping homeowners, property managers, and businesses improve the spaces they depend on, one job at a time.
