History of Puyleart Brothers Construction, LLC
Puyleart Brothers Construction, LLC was established in 2001 by brothers Scott and Shawn Puyleart. They worked for several years in the construction industry before going out on their own to create Puyleart Brothers Construction, LLC. The brothers started out with just enough tools, a wealth of knowledge learned and endless amounts of ambition.
In the beginning there were a lot of things to consider and do, besides carpentry, that could definitely be overwhelming for a couple of young carpenters. Neither of the brothers had formal schooling in how to run a business, but lucky for them they had their dad, Randy Puyleart, that wanted nothing more than to see his sons succeed. Randy was not a business man either, but he helped the boys get started with his diligence in researching and executing the necessary processes needed to get started in business. Randy also took on the day to day book keeping with his savvy math and financial skills he learned over his life as a factory worker and family provider.
The first couple of years Scott and Shawn many jobs; framing homes for other builders, odd jobs for anyone, as well as siding and roofing for other builders. Over those couple of years, they made a lot of good relationships, and built a few houses along the way. They seemed to always get the same reaction from customers after every project. People couldn’t believe they were so young with Scott being just 25 and Shawn 23. Customers were really impressed with their dedication and the quality of work that was done.
With increasing workload, there arose a need for extra help. In early 2003 Scott and Shawn brought their brother Chris on board, as an employee, to help them out. Over the next few years the brothers built a lot more houses, and filled in the down time by framing for other builders. Over those years they were honing our skills and gaining more knowledge with every project they did. If you went out to one of their jobsites you would see Scott, Shawn and Chris doing a lot of the work ourselves; making the brothers a true hands-on builder. We do all of our own framing, siding and finish carpentry on every project. In the past, when we had time, we also painted, hung sheet rock and installed tile and hardwood floors.
For a few years the home industry was fairly slow due to the recession, so the brothers got into doing more renovation and addition projects, as well as work for others; framing, siding and finish carpentry. This proved to be a good learning experience for them. Other contractors and carpenters they talked to have said that addition and renovation projects were not fun. The Puyleart Brothers found that statement couldn’t be further from the truth. These projects may be a little more difficult than a new house, but that challenge is what makes those projects fun and rewarding.
Meet Scott Puyleart
Scott graduated from Green Bay East High School in 1995. While attending high school he started out in the construction industry, at the age of 17, with local cabinet maker Valley Cabinet.
