Craven Construction began as a sole proprietorship in 1990 when the owner became licensed as a Builder and Maintenance/Alteration Contractor in the State of Michigan. The earliest projects were decks, docks, window and door replacements, as well as small bathroom and kitchen remodels. The first new home was built in 1991 and with it came the need to take on more employees and a broader service base to meet the growing needs of our clients in the area. In 1993 the company incorporated to become Craven Construction Inc. and although we still continue to take on smaller projects, we have also accomplished new home construction, large scale total remodels, additions of all types, ( basements, first story, second story) and light commercial projects. We have engaged in the restoration of older homes in historical districts as well as historical replicas for a local museum. Since 1993, Craven Construction Inc. has contracted and executed hundreds of successful large scale additions and remodels in the tri-county area. We strive to continue our professional education as new products become available, and new techniques become proven. A good amount of our projects are working with architects and designers, but our focus remains the client, as we are strict adherents to the chain of command. Please review some of our project photos. There are wonderful stories attached to every one of them that previous clients can share with you. Our Project Reference Directory gives a broad cross section of our work, with many repeat clients that can attest to our skill, manners and overall ability that all contribute to a job well done. Please call for a list of capable architects and designers in the Traverse City area. It can be very time saving to select Craven Construction Inc. as your builder, and then select a designer that we can assist in the advanced planning stages to meet design and budgetary needs before a construction date arrives. Call us and give us a challenge.
