MODERN BUILDERS INC

About us

Modern Builders, Inc. was founded by Dana Anderson in February of 1954. Throughout the remainder of the ’50′s and into the 60′s he and his family bought several parcels of land in north Tacoma near Point Defiance Park and built neighborhoods, along with a custom home now and then. During the Columbus Day storm of 1962, Dana and his son-in-law, Glen, were recruited to the unique area of restoration. Modern Builders, Inc. restored and repaired many of the homes damaged by the high winds and driving rains. In the mid 1970′s, Modern Builders, Inc. entered into the area of light commercial with such projects as office and retail space. The new millennium saw them extend their commercial work to the area of low-rise steel buildings. As a full-service General Contractor, Modern Builders, Inc. can fulfill all the necessary services to accommodate the needs of the owner, in Pierce, South King, Kitsap, Thurston, and other surrounding counties. Modern Builders, Inc. is one of the oldest continuously family-owned construction companies in the Puget Sound area currently being managed by its third generation. This longstanding service in an ever-changing industry is a credit to its quality of work and the integrity of the people who stand behind it.

They were great, very responsive and answered all my questions. Rockey was great and carpenter Rusty did a great job, even with my barking dogs.

They were working on our house for almost ten months. It took way longer than it should have and they did the floor in January and then the back splash tiles in February and then had to redo it in March or April. It was an insurance claim and they over estimated the work so much that they ended up having to pay the insurance company back for all the work they said they needed to do, did not in fact need to do. So they ended up charging almost fifty thousand dollars just for the flooring and cabinets and the kitchen and bathroom. That probably should have cost a third of that. I felt like I had to do most of the project coordination because they were not good at communication and every time they would screw something up, they would show up and be super friendly, kind of get you back on their side. So it was kind of weird in the project that you don't want to switch to somebody else.

They came out and were very prompt. They were very polite, professional, and courteous. Their work was excellent. I have used them a couple of times. I would recommend them to others.
