Lake Country Builders was founded on vision, craftsmanship, and the belief that home is more than a place – it is where life unfolds. Pete and Sue Jacobson brought that belief to life nearly 50 years ago, building a company rooted in integrity, creativity, and genuine care for people.
Together, they pioneered a design-build approach long before it became industry standard, always putting clients first and leading with a spirit of curiosity, hard work, and heartfelt dedication. Pete’s hands-on construction expertise and Sue’s design talent and client-centered approach formed the foundation for a business built on trust, quality, and lasting relationships.
Their legacy continues to guide everything we do: honoring craftsmanship, nurturing a collaborative team, and treating every client like family. Today, our work stands as a tribute to their vision – and we are proud to build upon the strong, inspiring foundation they created.
