A Year to Be Grateful For: Reflecting on 30 Years of Building Healthy Homes Today with Tomorrow in Mind
As the year winds down, I find myself reminiscing and appreciating all of the moments that went into 2025. This year felt especially meaningful. Not only did it bring new projects, new faces, and new milestones, but it also marked our 30th year building finely-detailed high-performance homes here in Northern Wisconsin.
First and foremost, thank you to our crew. The people who show up every day, in all kinds of weather, who take pride in their work, and care for the details that make a home truly perform. I’m incredibly proud of the team we have, and this year we were excited to welcome a few new faces to the crew. I’m grateful for the skills and energy each and every one of them brings to the table.
To our clients: thank you for putting your trust in us. Choosing to build a finely-detailed, high-performance home often means asking more questions, thinking long-term, and caring about health, comfort, durability, and performance. I’m grateful for our clients who shared that vision with us and allowed us to be part of such an important chapter in their lives.
Our work wouldn’t be possible without our subcontractors. We’re lucky to work alongside tradespeople who share our commitment to quality and who understand that high-performance homes require collaboration and trust. Their craftsmanship, problem-solving, and willingness to work as a team make every project better.
I also want to give a special thank you to Pukall Lumber. We’ve been doing business together for a few decades now, and that kind of long-term partnership matters. Having reliable, knowledgeable suppliers who understand our standards and support our work makes a real difference, and I’m grateful for the relationship we’ve built over time.
This year also gave us opportunities to learn and connect beyond the jobsite. Attending the Better Buildings Better Business conference with some of my guys was a highlight, offering fresh ideas, meaningful conversations, and renewed motivation to keep improving not just as builders, but as a business. It’s always energizing to be in a room full of people who feel the same way about home building as we do.
Closing out our 30th year in business feels significant. Thirty years of building in Northern Wisconsin has taught me a lot about craftsmanship, about adapting to new technologies, and about the importance of community and relationships. I’m proud of where we’ve been and excited about where we’re headed.
As we look ahead to the new year, we do so with gratitude and optimism. Thank you to everyone who was part of this past year and the last thirty years — our crew, our subs, our partners, our clients, and our community. We’re ready to keep building, learning, and doing what we love for many years to come.
Peace, Love, and Joy,
-Charlie
