  • Residential Homebuilding with Greg Smarslok
    Apr 29 2021

    The construction industry may not be for everyone, but those who are willing to work hard and take risks are handsomely rewarded—not just from a financial but also a self-fulfillment perspective. There’s something magical about seeing a vision in one’s head and then putting in the work to make it become a reality. Homebuilding is no exception.

    Over the last 25 years, the founder of Craftsman Home Company, Greg Smarslok, has compiled his home building experience into a modern, eco-friendly, and sustainable approach. Greg began as a hometown builder with an intentional commitment to the community - providing homeowners with a dedicated experience; from choosing their home design to walking in the front door and so much more. Greg’s vast homebuilding expertise, love for building homes, and his passion for helping others are the foundation Craftsman Home Company was built on. Greg’s promise is to be present throughout every step of the home-building journey.
