In 1979, the modular housing industry was just starting to make its name in the construction world.  As a land developer and owner of successful construction and real estate companies, the modular industry was something Dick Schmidt wanted to add to his resume.  He became a builder in the industry and was successfully completing three “turn key” modular homes per week in the state of Connecticut.  Nine years later, Dick Schmidt felt it was time to move forward.

In 1988, he purchased a modular home manufacturing company in central Pennsylvania.  The company consisted of two factories, one in Liverpool, PA and the other in Mifflintown, PA.  With both factories running simultaneously, he found that he could not be in two places at once.  In 1992, he made decision to move the entire operation to one location.  This allowed him to focus his attention solely on the Liverpool factory, producing as many as ten modules per day.  His dedication to this factory allowed him to nurture the business that he believed is the future of the housing industry.

Eleven years later, in 1999, he sold the manufacturing company, however, retaining ownership of the Mifflintown facility.  In 2003, the process of re-tooling and modernizing the factory began.  This would be the future home of ProBuilt Homes Inc.  In Late 2003, ProBuilt Homes built its first home.

Throughout the years, he learned that anyone in a position of leadership is only as good as the people they surround themselves with.  This “fact of life” philosophy has carried him throughout his career.  The same philosophy is very prominent today at ProBuilt Homes.  The factory produces a high quality home, from point of sale to delivery.   ProBuilt's staff is the “best of the best” in the housing industry.  Their passion, commitment and strong values are the heartbeat of the company.  The members of ProBuilt’s Management Team have been hand selected.  Dick Schmidt is proud to say that the ProBuilt team, by far, is the most energetic, innovative and efficient team there is.  ProBuilt builds the best homes in the market today.  The quality, service and turnaround time that ProBuilt provides its family of builders is specialized to increase their profitability.  ProBuilt's highly trained Sales, Engineering, Order Processing, Purchasing, Production and Quality Assurance Teams are all dedicated to doing things right the first time .

In 2007, ProBuilt finished their new office building and has supplemented their need for factory space with a 50X90 ft. addition, allowing increased capacity.  ProBuilt invites all of its builders to visit the facility, and see firsthand, the ProBuilt advantage.

In closing, ProBuilt Homes would like to thank all of its current builders for their past and present business. ProBuilt values the relationships that it has developed with its builders, and looks forward to showing its new builders the advantages of ProBuilt Homes.
