A Little History

Like all great ideas, Paddock Builders, Inc. began simply. Before 1988, building was just a hobby for Ted Paddock of Brighton. He started building wood boats and then fiberglass boats - an interest that soon grew into a hobby of building decks, remodeling basements, buying and fixing up old houses, and finally, custom homebuilding. Building for Ted was a dream way to work for a living.

The company grew large when his son Theo joined in 1995. Today Paddock Builders handles remodeling, custom home building and land development and it truly is a family affair. Company President Ted now designs homes and handles administration of the company; his son Theo handles the day-to-day supervision of the construction as project manager; and Ted's wife Charlene oversees the interior design, and works from our model homes.

Theo Paddock has earned the distinction of being one of only 5 Graduate Master Builders in Michigan, and also is a Certified Graduate Remodelor, Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist, and Certified Green Professional.

At Paddock Builders, we specialize in custom single-family homes. Our philosophy is to build to your needs.

Our father-and-son team of Ted and Theo Paddock works with you from the planning stage through finished construction. We design what we build, and we haven't built the same house twice. Our goal is the construction of a turnkey custom home that will provide pleasure and comfort for years to come.

We have home sites available — visit Paddock Estates and Knolls at Grass Lake subdivisions — or we will build on your selected home site. Over the years, we have established working relationships with premium subcontractors to assure that your home will meet your highest expectations. We also have current new homes and lots in inventory, which are available immediately.

Paddock Builders Inc. is licensed by the State of Michigan. Also, we are members of the National Association of Home Builders.

Theo Paddock is a Certified Graduate Remodelor and is a past Chairman of the Livingston County Remodelors Council. In 2003, he was appointed to the MAHB Remodelors Council Board for the State of Michigan. Theo earned the distinction of Graduate Master Builder and is proud to be one of only 5 in the state of Michigan.   He has written many articles on remodeling that have been published in Cranes Detroit Business Weekly, Livingston County Press & Argus, and The Livingston County Newcomer, to name a few.  He will oversee your entire project from start to finish.
