Custom Home Builder in Concord, Michigan
The Town We Call Home
Concord sits about fifteen miles southwest of Jackson on M-60, and it is where Strouss Construction is based. We have been building in Jackson County since 1949, the fourth generation of the family is doing it now, and this is the town we work from.
Most of what we get called for in Concord Township is on acreage. A few tillable acres off a gravel road, a pole barn already standing, a well and a septic field instead of municipal hookups. Inside the village the lots are narrow and the houses are old, a lot of them from the late 1800s.
Where We Build Around Concord
Old Houses in the Village
Frame houses on tight lots off Hanover Street and the M-60 stretch through the village, many built before 1920, with stone or block basements, balloon framing, and additions tacked on over the years. When somebody in the village wants a kitchen bumped out or a second bath added, the work is mostly about tying new framing into old framing and getting the rooflines to agree.
Acreage Toward Pulaski
Out in Concord Township and down toward Pulaski Township, parcels run five, ten, forty acres of former farm ground, and the driveway is often the first real expense. Those sites need a well, a septic field sized by the county, and usually a propane tank because natural gas does not reach every road out there. Soils shift from sandy loam to heavy clay within the same section, so the perc test and soil borings decide the foundation. Near Swains Lake and the low ground by the North Branch of the Kalamazoo River, drainage and setbacks drive the site plan.

The Strouss family was excellent to work with. The quality of work was excellent. We did a complete remodel of our cottage and their attention to detail is evident in the finished product. Strouss Builders have been doing this a long time and have all things covered.

Strouss Construction did excellent work on the exterior of our home. They work great as a team, were here every day and made our project a priority. Dan Jr. and Aaron did exceptional work and communicated the whole way. I would recommend the Strouss team.
