Bendele Construction began over five decades ago with a single machine and a simple goal: to provide honest, reliable site work for our neighbors. CHANGE... Founded in [Year] by [Name], we started as a small local operation dedicated to mastering the unique terrain of our lakeside communities.

As the years passed, our expertise expanded alongside the needs of our clients. We moved from general digging to specializing in the complex demands of lakeshore stabilization and residential septic systems. Today, the second and third generations of the Bendele family continue that original mission. While our equipment has grown more powerful and our projects more diverse, our commitment to doing the job right the first time remains exactly the same as it was on day one.
