CALVIN SMITH 612 NORTH CENTER ST. LAGRANGE, OHIO 44050 OFFICE: 440-355-6399 CELL: 440-328-5491   PRESIDENT / OWNER CALVIN SMITH INC.   HISTORY: I started my career while I was still in high school back in the 70’s, unloading box cars of lumber by hand. I moved up to counter sales which eventually led to estimating, blueprint takeoffs, outside sales etc… While dealing with builders at such a young age, I decided that I was doing all the work for them so why not try it for myself? I built my first house in 1982 (which I fell off of and broke my back), and since that time I have built approx. 1200 new homes! My interests in Civil War history, Bluegrass music, and 1800’s architecture mixed with my background of Art, culminated in a future trying to recreate an “Old Style” subdivision on a farm in LaGrange, Ohio, that had been  near and dear to me since childhood. Not only did I buy that farm but I also bought the adjoining 4 farms, compiling 500 acres. Today ,Grey Hawk Golf Course and Union Station subdivision occupies those 5 farms. Below are a few projects, accomplishments, and referrals that may be useful as you consider using Calvin Smith Inc. to build your new home.

I've been building for 29 years. I used to build 50 houses per year, now it's just me again and build 2 to 3. I'm the guy that you meet wit, the guy that supervises in the field, does the ordering, the selections and sweeps out the house. I'll never go back to being a big builder. I would appreciate the oppurtunity to give you a quote. Remember, I do NOT charge for my design services.
