OUR HISTORY

 
In August of 1962, Robert Hagstrom started Hagstrom Builder.  Within ten years, the company employed five carpenters and built homes and additions for families that were designed, in Robert's words, "for them, with them or by them."
 

Hagstrom Builder transferred from one generation to another in 1992 when Peter Hagstrom took over the business.  It was a natural transition: Peter had grown up on the construction site in what his father called "old-style daycare."  On site, Peter worked what his age allowed him to do - picking up trash, sweeping clean the floor, doing odd jobs here or there.   As a teenager, Peter completed "the crummy jobs" like loading trucks, clearing sites and painting walls.  Says Robert about his son:  "He knows how to do things, knows how to think about doing things and that's half the battle."

From the start of the company, Robert believed that what he did was more than just a job, and he passed on his love of building to Peter.  Today, Peter carries on the same tradition of craftsmanship the company has become known for.   All of Hagstrom Builder's projects, whether additions, re-models or new construction, reflect the passion each employee carries for the construction process.
