2000: The Foundation of SmardBuild

Coming from a family in Poland known for their dedication to craftsmanship, I carried the lessons of hard work and pride in every project I touched. My father and uncle were my first teachers, showing me what it means to build something that lasts.

When I started SmardBuild Construction, it wasn’t just about applying those lessons — it was about creating a company where homeowners could trust that their home was in the best hands. From the beginning, I knew that success doesn’t come from just one person’s effort. Without the incredible team that I’ve been fortunate enough to build around me, SmardBuild wouldn’t be what it is today. Together, we’ve built a company grounded in the principles of quality, dedication, and true craftsmanship.

2006: Turning Vision into Reality

By 2006, SmardBuild had begun to take shape. Our approach was simple: listen to our clients, understand their vision, and deliver work that exceeds their expectations. We weren’t the biggest company around, but we didn’t need to be. Our strength was in customizing every project to fit the specific needs of each homeowner. Whether it was exterior work like fiber cement siding or full-scale interior remodels, we approached every job with the same level of care and commitment.

We know remodeling can be stressful — whether it’s concerns over cost, timelines, or the final result. That’s why my team and I focus on being there for our clients every step of the way, answering questions and providing reassurance. At SmardBuild, we don’t just complete projects — we take the time to ensure you feel confident and comfortable throughout the process.

Today: A Commitment to Excellence and Teamwork

Today, SmardBuild is proud of the reputation we’ve built for high-quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. From James Hardie siding installations to custom remodels, we’ve expanded our offerings, but our core values have stayed the same. Our team is at the heart of everything we do, and without their dedication and passion, we wouldn’t be able to consistently deliver the high level of service our clients have come to expect.

At SmardBuild, we don’t just remodel houses — we create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. We work as a team to ensure every detail is perfect, and every homeowner feels their project is in the best hands. Because in the end, it’s not just about transforming a house — it’s about building something that lasts, something you’ll love for years to come.

What Our Clients Think

"Marek and the Smardbuild team did a beautiful job on our siding project! We replaced our 36 year old cedar siding with James Hardie plank siding. New soffits, fascias, frieze boards and gutters were also part of the work. Their attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Unlike some other contractors we interviewed, Marek followed the James Hardie specs with care, precision and no unapproved substitutions. Even in the winter, the job was done in a careful, timely manner. We highly recommend Smardbuild!"
