Custom Home Builder in Jackson, Michigan
Two Building Markets, One Family Crew
Strouss Construction has been building in Jackson since 1949, and the fourth generation of the family runs the company now from right here in the county. We build new homes, barndominiums, garages, additions and commercial buildings, and the family and crew do the work themselves.
We know the difference between putting up a home on a 50 foot lot off West Michigan Avenue and setting one on ten acres out toward Sandstone or Rives, because we have done both for decades.
Where We Build Around Jackson
Inside the City
The older neighborhoods are full of early century two stories, craftsman bungalows and postwar ranches on narrow lots, many near Ella Sharp Park and the streets off Michigan Avenue. Work there is usually an addition, a dormer, a kitchen and bath remodel, or replacing a sagging one car garage with something that actually fits a truck. Plaster, old framing and lot line setbacks decide what is possible, and city review applies inside the limits.
Out in the Townships
Push past Summit, Blackman or Leoni Township and people are building on five and ten acre splits off old farm ground, on wooded parcels near Waterloo, or on lake lots at Clark Lake, Vandercook Lake and Gilletts Lake where a seasonal cottage comes down and a year round home goes up. Those builds start with a perc test, a well, a driveway and often a pole barn before the house.

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.
