What does it take to build a true family legacy? Integrity, tenacity, passion? All the above? Built from a band of‘ dream weavers and legacy makers’, Snellman Construction( Snellman) exemplifies all these qualities. The business was founded in 1965 with the aspiration to make homebuilding wishes come true, an ambition that it has more than excelled in throughout its tenure. A family business through and through, Snellman specializes in custom home building and high-end remodels, boasting an impressive project portfolio that encapsulates beauty in every build, proving the company’ s longstanding heritage of quality craftmanship. It’ s been almost ten years since Modern Home Builders last spoke with Snellman, and it’ s irrefutable that the US construction industry has changed tremendously in that time. From changing legislation to the Covid-19 pandemic and macroeconomic turmoil, the industry’ s evolution has been tumultuous to say the least. However, one thing has remained consistent, and that’ s Snellman’ s commitment to‘ under promise and over deliver’- an ideology that continues to garner great recognition and success for the business.

Impressive track record
