An Artistic Approach to Construction

Suermann Contracting was started in 2005 by Tommy Suermann. Tommy began in construction at a very young age, helping with his family’s contracting business and learning framing, plumbing, and electric. It wasn’t long before he mastered the trades and began developing more efficient ways to tackle them. At 19, Tommy started his first LLC and began freelancing for several contractors. By 2007, he was running his own remodeling jobs. A few years later, the company began overseeing building maintenance for several Loft buildings in St. Louis, along with home remodeling projects. The company also partnered with a developer for several years, converting historic St. Louis buildings into residential Lofts.

Working on high-end properties and historic buildings piqued Tommy’s innate interest in design and furthered his eye for detail. After many years of running his own construction and maintenance company, he started noticing a lot of issues in this industry. In order to efficiently get a structurally sound building, with the finish detail of an artist, Tommy recognized the need for a different approach to construction. He began to implement systems and processes aimed at improving his client’s experience during every phase of construction and saw what an overwhelming difference it made. His passion for design, architecture, continuous improvement, and championing our clients are the core values that continue to drive our company today.
