This disciplined, communication-driven approach has allowed MFS Builders to apply the same consistency, attention to detail, and commitment to improvement to each project. Through this methodology, the company views each project as an opportunity to combine efficiency with thoughtful design, as seen in some of its most recent developments.
“ I’ m really happy with our recent projects. One in particular was for a repeat client that we worked with in 2008 and 2010,” Paul says.“ It’ s a new home that’ s overflowing with cool features, but still has a modest presence. Here in Wisconsin, we have snow for around a third of the year, so this home has a radiant heating system with heated floors, a heated driveway, and heated exterior panels. We completed the project in collaboration with Udvari Solner Design Company( architect) and Silverleaf Interiors( interior designer), who did an absolutely fantastic job on the design, layout, and furnishings.”
Upholding values
Building on MFS Builders’ existing foundations, Paul’ s approach to leadership is focused on thoughtful evolution rather than sweeping change. The emphasis has been on refining what already works, while introducing strategic improvements that support both the team and the long-term growth of the business.
“ When I took over the business, I was in a unique position where, thanks to previous generations of hard work, I had a great blueprint for success,” Paul reveals.“ My goal for the first few years wasn’ t to rock the boat or change anything, but rather to continue to modify and improve our processes as we moved forward. For example, to attract and retain skilled team members, we implemented a profit sharing program in 2020, which promotes loyalty and longevity, and helps the team to hold each other accountable. In 2025, we revamped our employee benefits package and it now rivals any within the industry. However, our core philosophies – the craftsmanship, integrity, and treating people like family – will always remain the same.”
As MFS Builders looks to the future, its strength will continue to lie not only in its remarkable history, but also in its ability to adapt, refine, and uphold the values that have defined it for over a century. Under Paul’ s leadership, the company is well-positioned to continue building exceptional homes and executing great remodels, as well as forging lasting relationships, for many more generations to come.
“ Looking back to 2025, we had a nine-to- 11-month backlog with our remodel projects where someone would sign with us before the project began,” Paul says.“ Because of this, we added our third project manager earlier this year – more than we’ ve ever had in our history – and that has allowed us to hire additional carpenters to get that backlog
