The Bender name has represented quality in custom homebuilding and remodeling for four decades. Owners Steve Bender and Henry Wasenmiller are master builders and experienced professionals known for high-quality craftsmanship, green building practices, and outstanding customer service.

Decades of Experience,
A Culture of Excellence

Forty years and 400+ unique homes later, Bender Wasenmiller has learned that, to sustain longevity, you have to be willing and able to evolve.

Our firm is a family business, and we believe in helping our clients achieve their dreams and make them a reality. Over the years, we have accomplished this through mastery of knowledge, experience, and integrity within our company as well as long, established relationships built on trust and expertise with premier architects and tradesmen.

Stewart Emery, co-owner of Belvedere Consultants once said, “mastery in one’s career and conscious growth requires that we constantly produce results beyond and out of the ordinary. Mastery is a product of consistently going beyond our limits”.

Lake Street Residence

This is our philosophy.

It is truly a privilege to be welcomed into people’s lives for one of the most important decisions they will ever make. A home is something very personal and wholly unique to every individual, and we strive to bring your vision to light. With each client, our passion for the process continues to grow.

We have a vast experience of building an array of homes ranging from small and comfortable to large and complex. We remodel or renovate projects of all sizes, as well as historical residences.

We emphasize a collaborative process between client, architect, and professional consultants in order to balance progressive and ambitious ideas with function and budget.

“You aspire. We build.”

There are not many high-integrity builders that have such a benchmark for excellence at both their craft and managing their business and clients, so I think these guys are a rare find.

It is always good for an architect to go through this process once in a while so that we can understand the challenges our clients experience. Bender Custom Construction made the process very enjoyable.

I can see how that reputation has been earned and built over many years and many clients…and that it is well-deserved.
