The formula for success resembles the construction of a home. You must first lay out the base of integrity, add on quality supported by ingenuity, frame it with reliability and service, and finally add a cornerstone of experience. We at Prete Builders possess all of these abilities. Since 1978, Prete Builders has specialized in the construction of custom homes, waterfront properties and custom remodels. A large portion of our business has come from new construction, additions, church construction and commercial build outs.

Prete Builders, Inc. was founded in 1978 starting with three employees and a dream. Since then, our family business has expanded to include the Northern Ohio area, from Cleveland to Port Clinton and beyond. We have experienced a steady growth pattern involving custom residential and commercial design, building and remodeling. Our commitment to quality, uncompromising integrity, fair pricing and customer satisfaction is as much our goal today as it was when we began, making Prete Builders a leader in today's building industry.

Prete Builders utilizes local architects and designers, structural engineers and landscape architects all working together as a unified team to help create your home. Paul Prete has enjoyed over 43 years of designing homes for his customers and can understand and appreciate each detail that has been discussed through your design process. He is then able to identify with each phase of the project in greater detail and can manage these professionals in creating your vision. We believe the customer's dream and vision of their home can be entrusted to us in guiding our trained professionals, making your home come to life.

Commercial work continues to be a part of Prete Builders' identity as it has been since our early beginnings. With current and recent projects including the demolition and rebuild of The Center at Beulah Beach, the repurposing of the Bettcher building into the new Chapel - South Campus in Norwalk, an addition to Grace United Methodist Church, remodels for the Pizza Hut/Wing Street franchise, and the construction of the Bay Point Resort Restaurant, Prete Builder's reputation as a commercial construction company is strong and thriving.

For homeowners that have gone beyond their first year of warranty coverage and want extra security for the integrity of their home Prete Builders offers a customized Prete Home Service program. As the builder, we can offer the expertise and insight to know what areas to inspect and which areas will need regular maintenance to prevent future issues. In our experience, many homeowners don't have the time to handle their own maintenance such as inspecting areas of the home for insect or rodent infiltration, issues arising from storm damage, or preventative measures that help maintain your home's exterior finishes.

The Design and Build process begins by meeting with you at the site or at our office to help determine the feasibility of your vision and to begin the information gathering process. This allows you to discuss your vision of the project. Prete Builders takes into consideration the following main factors of designing any project: the budget, the size and the specifications, the site and the lot conditions. All need to be managed while designing your home. Prete Builders takes your vision along with these main factors and begins to develop a plan for success in creating your home and home budget.

Paul Prete caused us a huge amount of headaches. First, he told us that the land we were purchasing from him was not additional to the price of the house we were building with him…that was a lie. Second, he kept trying to hit on my wife during every meeting we had…she was 26 at the time and he’s at least 75. He made us very uncomfortable. Third, he told us he could build the house that was a predesigned model of his for 215,000 dollars but it wouldn’t come with any of the features listed on the specifications sheet that listed them as standard features that he showed us and originally sold us on.
