Straight A Builders, Inc., founded by Trent Vander Zee in 2001, has established itself as a reputable remodeling and general contracting firm in Northwest Indiana. Initially starting as a sole proprietorship, the company quickly grew and became incorporated in 2003. With a strong focus on custom home building, Straight A Builders has successfully completed over sixty homes alongside numerous renovations, including kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces.
The company’s evolution was marked by a shift in focus during the late 2000s housing recession, where it primarily engaged in general contracting for renovation projects. This transition allowed Straight A Builders to concentrate on a wider array of services, including basement finishing and commercial build-outs. To enhance service offerings, Trent invested in state-of-the-art design software, facilitating superior drafting and design capabilities that cater to clients' needs for both new homes and remodels.
A family tradition of carpentry excellence influences the company’s ethos, with Trent’s father, Richard, being an integral part of its inception. The commitment to quality and integrity resonates throughout the workforce, fostering a culture of hard work and flexibility. Straight A Builders prides itself on delivering high-quality craftsmanship, with a mission statement that emphasizes customer satisfaction: “Home work done right.”
