Serving Fond du Lac Since 1996

The Smith Builders, Inc. Story

With a carpentry focus, we bring a rare business model to your project. We aren’t just what they call a “paper contractor” with subcontractor teams who swing the hammers. Owners and on-staff carpenters have decades of experience in the field that translates to well-executed projects. And because we don’t have to subcontract our framing and general carpentry, projects run smoother, schedules stay truer, and quality runs deeper. Our uncommon on-staff expertise and passion for carpentry drives each project to success. It’s rare, but it works well, because carpentry is at the heart of our family.

Let's Build Together

Building a Legacy. By Our Family, for Yours.

Family Values

Being a Midwestern family, it should come as no surprise that we were brought up understanding the importance of hard work and family. Growing up, we always felt that houses are so much more than just a place to rest your head. They're where families gather for Sunday suppers, where cookies are left on the mantle for the big man in the red suit, and where bonds are made that last a lifetime. As a family, we want to share that experience with others, and build better for generations to come.

Trusted Partnerships

As life-long residents of the Fond du Lac area and career tradesmen, we've planted our roots in this community and allowed our partnerships and industry connections to be a part of the solid foundations on which we rest our business. New home construction sees hundreds of helping hands involved with each build, and we're proud to partner with the best in the business, from the experts in design at Drexel Building Supply to our fellow home builders and members of the Eastern Ridge Home Builders Association, and more.

Service Excellence

We've been through home building and remodeling, both from the business and consumer end, and work hard to ensure a stress-free experience for you and your loved ones. Our employees, suppliers, and sub-contractors' dedication and hard work are the keys to providing our customers with quality homes and commercial spaces they can be proud to call their own. Everyone can say that their service is top-notch, but when you work with us, you'll see that family means something extra special and we look forward to welcoming you to it!

Skilled Workmanship. Trusted Partnerships.

Community Connections

We’re proud to support the hometown teams, both figuratively and literally, on and off the fields! As a family of builders, we’re dedicated to the family that we find every day in our communities and are working to make the world a better place for all.

Smith Builders' Customers Say...

It was a real pleasure working with the Smith Family and their employees. From the very beginning of our planning stages through the final clean up, they did it all! They were prompt, worked hard, and went above and beyond the call of duty. They were also there for suggestions and open to our ideas. I would highly recommend everyone to see Smith Builders for all their building needs.

We were very pleased with the level of service that we received before, during, and after the construction of our new home. Chris and his efficient staff were always available for questions, stayed consistent with quoted prices, and proved themselves to be honest and reliable. We would not hesitate to recommend Smith Builders to anyone considering a new home.

Thank you for doing such an awesome job on our house! We are pretty much settled in and we love it!! We really appreciate your professional attitude when minor issues needed to be addressed. All in all it was a great experience.
