Humble
Beginnings and Bright Future
Trace Creek was founded in the basement of Sam Howard’s home in 1993. With $5,000 saved from the construction costs of his new home, Sam built a company with a sterling reputation and a staff of talented professionals. We are proud of our company, its capabilities and the legacy we have created.
Our projects are consistently delivered on time and on budget, creating a professional network of satisfied clients who return to us for additional projects. In fact, 65% of our business consists of repeat clients.
In just over 27 years of operation, Trace Creek’s successful operations, financial stability and visionary approach have allowed the company to achieve a position of respect and trust that is unmatched in our industry. When we initiate a project, we commit ourselves to each client’s goals. We consider each project a solemn obligation that transcends regular business relationships. Buildings are more than projects – they are part of our everyday life. Our deep desire is to ensure that your project meets and surpasses any and all expectations and will be a delight to use for decades to come.
