About Us

We are a small, family owned building company. As a local contractor, we play a role in the community hiring local help and sub contractors. This allows us to be personally involved in the decisions that make our projects fit your needs. We’ve been called comfortable to work with, and trustworthy choice for your home. Sayre Builders allows you to work with a contractor where the owner of the business is in the middle of the operations of your project.

Our Story

“I love what I do,” said Mark Sayre. “I get to own these jobs. I become personally involved, and love the hands-on aspect of what I get to do. It’s important that I do it well. I like to think I am personable. If we run into each other in public, a friendly hello would take place”.
My earliest memory of this field of work is when I was a little boy driving nails into the steps of our basement in the house I where I was raised in Pleasant Lake. Shortly after, I was building all sorts of forts- in trees, behind bushes and anywhere else with a good view. I helped my dad build fences and barns. In high school, I attended building trade courses at the career center. That gave me a co-op opportunity to work as an apprentice alongside a builder before I graduated. My training out of high school with a local contractor and my own experience growing up helped launch my professional building career.

Sayre Builders began in 1998. Since then, our concentration was placed on stick built new homes, the construction of numerous Heckaman Homes and countless remodeling and addition projects. We’ve worked on siding, windows and roofs, as well as bathrooms and kitchens.

In 2005, we built the home on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Dearing Road and that now serves as both my residence and a model home. It is a good example of how the combination of Heckaman homes and a good contractor can create a beautiful place to live. This location displays both their work and mine with a full finished basement and attached garage.
