The builder
Jon
Owner and builder · Flushing, Michigan
Built by Jon & Josh, his oldest son.
Why I build
What started out as building knick-knacks for family turned into building a home, a barn, and several additions.
What has been built, up until now, has been for family and friends. Every time I see the particle board furniture & cabinets sold in major outlets and stores, I’m inspired to make something that will last generations instead of just a few years.
I’ve always loved building as a hobby, especially with my oldest son, and I want him to appreciate woodworking and using his hands. So we decided that it was time to start a business and begin building some new projects.
We hope you will trust us to create something special for you!
