Our Story

Born and raised on Bainbridge, John Viele has a true perspective of the Island community. Living with his wife Stephanie (also a lifelong island native) and two teenage children, in such a unique locale continues to be a blessing. Sparked by his mentor Stephen Deines, John’s passion for homebuilding started 25 years ago building custom homes and remodels for the island community. After receiving his undergraduate degree in economics, John felt the pull of homebuilding tug him back to the tangible daily results that custom construction provides. John’s career evolved from the multitple tasks of carpentry to the project management expertise of cost estimation, scheduling and general business management, learning and mastering these areas alongside Stephen. Working with many local architects and designers, John and his team of longtime employees and subcontractors provide homebuilding services for Bainbridge and the surrounding area. High quality construction and honesty in the building profession are what Craftsman Building Fine Homes represents and delivers to each client that they have an opportunity to work with.
