Modern buildings are more or less assembled, but old buildings were made. Skilled craftsmen hand fabricated the building from raw materials. Restoring old buildings - remaking them - is even more difficult. It requires not only these same skills, and same raw materials, but also an understanding of historic design and the appropriate use of modern materials.
Since 1987, Grand River Builders has been providing these skills to historic building restoration projects in West Michigan. We are successful because at the heart of Grand River Builders is a craftsman, not a contractor. We start from scratch - sheetmetal, lumber, mortar - to give the building what it needs, not what the catalog offers.
