Our Story

Built on Hard Work & Honest Craftsmanship

Since 2005, we've been the contractor Springfield homeowners call first — and call back again.

Who We Are

A Family Business That Treats You Like Family

ProBuild Contractors was founded in 2005 by brothers James and Robert Calloway, two tradesmen who were tired of seeing homeowners get taken advantage of by overpriced, unreliable contractors.

Their idea was simple: show up on time, charge a fair price, do exceptional work, and stand behind it. Twenty years later, that philosophy still drives everything we do.

What started as a two-man plumbing operation has grown into a full-service contracting company with over 25 licensed technicians across six trades. But despite the growth, we still run every job with the same family-first mindset.

We live here. We send our kids to school here. When we put our name on a job, our reputation in this community is on the line — and we take that seriously.

Our Foundation

The Values We Build On

Integrity

We say what we mean and do what we say. No hidden fees, no upselling, no BS.

Quality

Every nail, wire, and weld is done to code and built to last. We'd put it in our own home.

Reliability

When we commit to a time, we show up. When we commit to a price, we honor it.

Community

We're your neighbors. Giving back to this community isn't just good business — it's the right thing to do.
