Our Story

1996

Getting Started

Swank Builders began in the summer of 1996 with a truck, a trailer, and a foundation built on hard work and relationships. After gaining hands-on experience in remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, and decks, Brett Swank started taking on projects of his own as word began to spread through the community.

1997–2004

Building the Foundation

The company incorporated in 1997 and continued to grow through referrals and strong relationships with homeowners and vendors. During this time, the business was run out of a home office while steadily expanding into more complex remodeling projects.

2002

A New Milestone

In 2002, Swank Builders completed its first custom home, marking a major step forward in the type of projects the company would take on moving forward.

2004–2017

Growth and Resilience

The business moved into a dedicated office space and continued to grow across communities like Grand Blanc and Goodrich. Even through challenges like the 2008 housing downturn, the company adapted by continuing to serve local homeowners and staying committed to steady, reliable work.

2017

A New Perspective

After losing a home and office to a fire, the rebuilding process brought a new level of understanding to what homeowners go through during major projects. That experience continues to shape how projects are handled today, especially when working through complex renovations.

2019–Present

Expanding the Team

As demand grew, the team expanded to include estimators, project managers, and office staff to better support clients. Today, Swank Builders operates with multiple field teams and a full support staff, continuing to serve homeowners throughout Grand Blanc, Fenton, Clarkston, and surrounding areas.

2025 and Beyond

Looking Ahead

With the purchase of a new office and warehouse space, the company is continuing to invest in its future. The goal remains the same as it was from the beginning: build a business that is dependable, sustainable, and built to serve both clients and the next generation of leadership.

Our Service IN the COmmunity

At Swank Builders, we believe the basics matter. Safe, well-built homes are essential, and so is access to clean water. That belief shapes not only the work we do, but how we show up for people beyond the jobsite.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with Good Justice, an organization working to bring clean drinking water to communities in need. Housing is a right, and water is too. Supporting this mission is one way we can help create healthier, more stable lives both at home and around the world.

Closer to home, we stay involved through outreach efforts alongside the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department, supporting programs that serve and strengthen our local community.

For us, it all comes back to the same idea. Take care of people, follow through on what you say, and do work that matters.

Where We Work

We proudly serve Genesee County and parts of Oakland, Lapeer and Livingston counties. Most of our projects are in established neighborhoods and growing suburban areas where quality work and clear communication matter. Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships in these communities and understand what it takes to do the job right.
