Peter C. Schmidt
President
Peter started his company over 30 years ago. After growing up here, he moved to California to attend college and start his career. While in California, Peter started his construction company and owned two florists. He returned in the early 90’s to raise his family on San Juan Island. Since then the company has expanded consistently over the years and has grown into a well-respected, highly successful corporation. Peter is proficient in CAD and 3-D design, which has given him a unique perspective as a general contractor when it comes to meeting the needs of his clients. He enjoys a challenge, from building custom vacation homes to moving the Churchill House to its current site on Argyle to building the eagle habitat at Wolf Hollow. Peter respects our small island community lifestyle and has found many ways of consistently donating his personal and company resources to multiple charities and community needs over the years.
