Martin Brothers Contracting was founded in 1965 by
brothers Nelson and Virgil Martin. Nelson and Virgil had 12 years of
experience working for another builder that specialized in building high-end
custom homes when they decided they decided to venture out on their own. They set up shop just
east of Wakarusa on County Road 40 and over the years
they worked their way into building high-end custom homes. They firmly
believed that using the highest quality materials available and exceeding
industry standard building practices would provide their customer's with the
best home possible.
Carrying on those same practices today is Nelson's son Jeff,
who purchased the business in 1996. |

Jeff
naturally grew up around the business. He started out working part-time in
the summer of 1976 (at the age of 14) and started at the bottom of the
ladder. Jeff understands how everything is put together and is proud to
carry on the Martin Brothers' love of home building. Jeff handles the
day-to-day operations, which includes managing as many as 18 people in the
field, 4 office staff and a licensed architect. Virgil and Nelson are still
involved in the company and their experience makes them an invaluable
resource. Jeff is active in the Builders Association of Elkhart County and
is the current Board President. Jeff obtained his Certified Graduate Builder
(CGB®) and
Certified Graduate Remodelor® (CGR™) designations in February 2006. He
obtained his Graduate Master Builder (GMB) and Certified Green Professional
(CGP) designations in May 2008 and he obtained his Certified Aging-in-Place
Specialist (CAPS) designation in November, 2008 from the National Association of Home
Builders.
Martin Brothers relies on
our experienced crews to uphold our company's reputation and keep customer's
happy. We have highly qualified and carpenters that have been with us for
more than 15, 20 and 25 years. So dedicated are our carpenters to the
building industry that two of our team members have obtained the CGB and CGR™
designations and
three have obtained the CGP designation from the National Association of
Home Builders. Experience counts when building a home with thousands of
details. You want the structural aspects of the home to be right from the
beginning. It's what we call the things between the floors and the walls,
things that you can't go back and do differently later on. With an on-staff
Architect Martin Brothers offers a full design-build service. Our licensed
Architect, Phil Jenkins has ten plus years of experience and can help deal
with the many design issues found in today's technologically advanced homes.
We are of course happy to work with your Architect or Designer too.
