Zahn Builders ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
President Roger Zahn, Jr. describes Zahn Builders’ history and his personal background to Modern Home Builders:“ The business was founded in 1958 by my grandfather Robert Zahn, who was soon joined by my father Roger Sr. around 1965. They started building one-story ranch style homes in Broward and Palm Beach County, and then over the years, they were able to grow the company into a much larger and very successful multi-family development business while remaining based in Pompano Beach, Florida.
“ I graduated from the University of Florida’ s building construction program in 1992 and then began working as a project manager for the family business in 1994. My first project with the company was a 75-unit( 13 building) townhouse project located in Pompano Beach. I did another 23-unit townhome project located at the Lighthouse Point Marina between 1998 and 2000 before deciding to change the direction of the company to focus on building custom homes in Lighthouse Point and surrounding communities.”
Roger then sheds more light on the full range of services that the company offers:“ Zahn Builders specializes in building luxury waterfront homes from the ground up, managing all aspects of the building process from start to finish. This includes helping clients find lots, demolition of existing structures, design, permitting, and construction management. Occasionally, we will take on a large-scale renovation or addition, but it all depends on our current workload.
