FORT LORAMIE — 2022 was an extremely busy year for Middendorf Builders Inc., and the new home builder attributes its success to the dedication of its skilled workforce and the company’s commitment to construction excellence.

Middendorf Builders has been constructing new homes in the area since 1996, establishing a reputation as the premier home builder in Shelby County & surrounding areas. “Middendorf Builders care about what we do and take great pride in providing our customers excellent quality and value,” said President Mitch Middendorf.

His report continues:

We are very pleased with the progress we made in 2022 despite many hurdles we faced due to supply chain problems and continually increasing material cost needed to construct our homes. We fully anticipate a successful 2023 designing and constructing new homes for local residents.

We strive to improve our efficiency every year & 2023 will be no different. With rising home mortgage rates, it will be very important to keep our overhead costs at a minimum, which in turn will help offset some of the increased mortgage expenses our customers will incur. Middendorf Builders are able to be an affordable option for customers wanting a new home because of our low overhead and our commitment to getting the customer the best possible price from various area vendors/suppliers.

Middendorf Builders had nine new home projects completed in 2022 along with numerous detached garages/additions. The year 2022 was challenging! We continued to excel in new home construction even when material pricing was extremely volatile by getting out in front of the rising cost and purchasing material & supplies when they were at their lowest. This enabled us to pass the savings on to our customers. We feel very fortunate to be working with such high-quality subcontractors and vendors who really helped make 2022 operate as smoothly as possible.

In 2022, Middendorf Builders completed construction on the second phase of the Timber Trail Subdivision in Anna, which is a 30-lot residential new home development. The street was completed in September of 2022 and we were able to start building homes immediately after the final coat of asphalt was laid. We currently have three homes under construction in the subdivision and plan to start three more this spring.” Most building sites are over ½ acre, all sites have village utilities & the subdivision is conveniently located just minutes from Interstate 75 and Honda Manufacturing. 6 building sites are wooded with 2 of these wooded home sites being over 2 acres in size. The properties in the subdivision have a 4-year tax abatement, which on a $400,000 property is over $17,000 in tax savings. We have nine building sites sold and will continue to focus on developing our subdivision in 2023 to give the village of Anna a wonderful area of homes the community will be proud of.

We are preparing for new challenges and opportunities that 2023 will bring and we hope to build on the accomplishments of the past 26 years we have been in business. We look forward to working with our new clients in 2023 to provide them with an enjoyable, full-service building experience. We would like to thank our past customers and look forward to establishing new relationships with new customers in the upcoming years.
