The Boyer tradition of
building began four
generations ago in
Wadena County,
Minnesota. If someone in
the area needed a home
built in the thirties or
a barn raised, Joe Boyer
was the man to contact.
A great deal of pride
went into the structures
he built. He would speak
of his experiences for
generations and tell of
the homes he built and
the people he met. After
the war, Joe Sr. moved
to Seattle to foreman a
small boat-building yard
until 1965 when he
retired.
His son, Joe Boyer, Jr.
moved to the Minnetonka
area in 1946 after
serving in the Navy, and
worked as a carpenter
and as a foreman for
prominent contractors.
Eventually, Joe, Jr.
founded Joe Boyer
Building. His premise
was to focus on the
values his father taught
him. He acquired a solid
reputation based on
honesty and superior
craftsmanship. The
business flourished.
In 1983, Joe Boyer
Building became Boyer
Building Corporation.
Joe's sons, Bob, John,
Joe and Paul brought the
strength of their
various educational
backgrounds together to
continue the tradition
started so many years
ago.
The driving motivation
for the Boyer Building
Company remains "to
provide a solid product
that improves the
quality of people's
lives and to be the best
at what we do." With the
recent Reggie Award of
Excellence for design
and construction and as
recipients of the Award
of Excellence by the
American Institute of
Architects, the Boyer
tradition lives on
today.
