Steve Schwieters

How did you get started in the building industry?

I have a strong family history in the building industry. I worked with his uncle, eventually started my own framing company, moved on to become a general contractor, and now have been in the business for 49 years.

What inspires and influences your work?

Our clients inspire our work every day. We keep a keen eye on trends while respecting classic and timeless elements in every home.

How would you describe your team’s approach to a new project?

Our team is involved from the start — from when we first meet with our clients to talk about their dream for their home and into the design of the home. From the project manager to estimating to interior design, everyone on the team is involved throughout the process.

How do you bring a client’s vision to life?

First and foremost, we listen to our client’s wants and needs. We provide continuous communication adjusting the project throughout and involving them in every step of the construction process.

What sets your company apart?

The detail and the importance of a hands-on approach set us apart.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?

We have worked with most of our subcontractors since the start of the business. We have developed lasting friendships, and they have shown how important it is to build a high-quality home for our clients.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

Steve, along with his team of professionals, promises that every client will experience a hands-on approach to building their custom dream home. With a keen sense of tradition coupled with a fine eye for detail, each and every home is designed with the utmost creativity and quality workmanship.

What are some of your favorite trends and styles in new construction?

We focus on creating timeless features that reflect our clients’ personal styles. With the help of our designer, we incorporate the current trends in each of our models and our clients’ custom-built homes.
