Our History
Pete began building homes in 1978 in British Columbia before returning to Ontario to take up the trade. In 1981, he became an independent sub-contractor, establishing Pete's Carpentry. Over the course of 20 years, Pete not only built many homes for local general contractors in the Port Dover area, but also a reputation for integrity, honesty, and quality. His reputation soon led to increased demand from those wishing for the flexibility and attention afforded by custom home design. Beginning with pencil and paper drafting, Pete drew his own plans and made the custom ideas and needs of his clients a reality. The drafting board is now long gone in favour of a mouse and keyboard, but the personal attention to your custom home is still central to Pete's work.
Over the course of several years, Pete's custom contracting grew. With the retirement of Pete's general contracting partner, Pete was able to push his own custom work to the fore and Pete's Carpentry was officially changed to Brouwer Homes in 2001 to better reflect the focus of the company.
Together with his wife, Joanne, Pete continues to keep the homeowner at the forefront of the building process. Pete and Joanne take great pride in their work and place great value in your total satisfaction. Each home we build is a chapter in our story, and we would love to have you be a part of it.
