Since its inception in 2000, Dexter Builders, Inc. has been driven by its employees’ passion and talent for helping local customers improve the quality of their homes. Located in Dexter, Mich., the company specializes in complete residential remodeling and prides itself on its versatility. In 2008, the three partners, Jeff Brown, Vince Peters and Tony Push, expanded to add Dexter Roof and Siding — a DBA that focuses solely on roofing, siding and windows. Despite hard economic times, the company has managed to grow every year and establish a strong presence in the greater Ann Arbor community. But the people of Dexter Builders were put to the ultimate test on March 15, 2012: the day a tornado blew through their hometown, hit two major subdivisions and damaged more than 400 homes.
“The dust is just now settling from the tornado,” Brown said on the one-year anniversary of the event. “Dexter Builders and Dexter Roof were totally unprepared for the opportunity that was laid in our lap. We had never dealt with anything on such a large scale.”
