OUR STORY
GNT Builders was founded in 2023 by two friends, Grady and Trent—hence the name GNT. What started in a classroom quickly turned into a passion for building things the right way. While studying construction at Grand Rapids Community College, we had the opportunity to build two homes from the ground up for Habitat for Humanity, gaining hands-on experience that shaped how we approach every project today.
That four-month program didn’t just teach us the fundamentals of construction—it sparked the drive to create something of our own. With a shared vision and a strong work ethic, GNT Builders was born.
Today, we’re proud to deliver thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and dependable construction on every job. At GNT Builders, we believe great results come from hard work, professionalism, honesty, and clear communication—and we bring those values to every project, big or small.
