    Celebrating 45 years!

    Steve Templeton was a young carpenter in the 1970s who harbored a dream. Although he dedicated his days to the construction of homes and the refinement of his craft, he recognized that the construction of a house was not merely about the walls and rooftops; it was also about commitment to excellence, trust, and relationships. In 1980, he made a bold move and established Templeton Building Company, which would go on to become one of the most respected construction firms in Michigan.

    Templeton Building Company has grown beyond Steve’s dreams in the last 45 years. A modest business that was initially driven by hard work and passion has since transformed into a premier building company that specializes in high-end custom homes, historical restorations, renovations, and home service.

    Templeton Building Company is not merely a business; it is a family tradition. Ben Templeton, Steve’s son, joined the organization in 2005 following his graduation from Lawrence Technological University. Ben, like his father, is deeply passionate about client service and craftsmanship. Templeton Building Company has maintained its reputation as a reliable name in Michigan’s construction industry by embracing innovation and adhering to its core values, always putting customer service, quality, and their employees above all else. The company has broadened its scope by establishing a dedicated service division for home maintenance. This ensures that their clients receive exceptional care long after a project has been completed.

    Templeton Building Company has further solidified its reputation as an industry leader by earning numerous accolades over the years. The organization was named a Big50 top remodeling company in the U.S. by Remodeling magazine, was recognized as HBA’s Remodeler of the Year and was honored on a national level with the NAHB Remodelers Award for Entire Home Renovation. Ben has also received recognition, having been designated Pro Remodeler magazine’s 40 Under 40 and honored as HBA’s Young Builder of the Year. His leadership is not limited to Templeton Building Company; he has been a member of the HBA Board since 2010, he served as President in 2021 and 2022, is currently a National Delegate for the National Association of Home Builders and serves on the Leadership Council for the state HBA. Ben reflected, “I was very fortunate to have a father that I could learn so much from, but beyond that, we are incredibly lucky to have a talented and dedicated team at TBC. Any awards and honors we’ve received are a reflection of their hard work.”

    Success in the field of home construction is not solely determined by accolades; it is also determined by the relationships that are established during the construction process. Templeton Building Company does not merely construct and renovate residences; they establish long lasting relationships. They are currently constructing homes for their long-time, repeat clients, as well as the children and grandchildren of their clients. As Templeton Building Company looks ahead to the next chapter, the same commitment that initiated its existence 45 years ago will continue to influence its future.
