1974
After working several years for a general contractor in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Peter Blenker, along with his wife Pamela Jewell, decided to venture out on their own. In 1974, Peter and Pamela started Blenker Construction Inc., a contractor doing mostly remodeling and additions. After business began picking up, Peter hired on a few more people. Peter would run the jobs and Pamela would do the design work, while trying to raise three rambunctious young boys.
2000s
We built a manufacturing plant to meet demand and enhance the processes for off-site construction. Through continuous improvement, we became proficient at building homes both quickly and to more exacting standards. As our business expanded, we created Blenker Companies, which is the parent company to Blenker Construction. While we have since sold off the manufacturing side of our business, we still continue to utilize off-site construction principles on most of our residential projects.
2010s
We continued to build homes throughout central Wisconsin. Our years of experience, knowledge and presence as a highly reputable custom home builder allowed us to earn projects through the housing recession in the early part of the decade. While Blenker Signature Homes continued to be strong in the overall quantity and quality of projects we built, we paid attention to what the market was screaming for…a more simplified, streamlined, and affordable way to build a new home. As such, we added the Envision Homes by Blenker to fill this need.
