Meet Our Team

For over 20 years, Bert Echterling has been dedicated to the crafts of home building and customer service. Bert carries the legacy of his father and the rest of the Echterling family with him through every project the company undertakes. He is a person of conviction, and has realized his purpose in life is to build homes, foster relationships, and enhance communities.

Bert applies his expertise thoughtfully and with great skill, which has earned him the designation of a Graduate Master Builder by the National Association of Home Builders. His intricate knowledge of the housing market, coupled with his understanding of the building and remodeling processes, make him a highly-qualified resource - both in regards to your project and your overall peace of mind.

Outside of his work, Bert is a man of many hobbies. He loves to spend time engaging in a multitude of activities with his family and friends, such as playing golf, fishing, and traveling.

With a unique sense for design and an unmistakable creative intuition, Charis Echterling is an indispensable part of the building process. Charis's ability to use her mind's eye and bring her visualizations to fruition make her an incredibly valuable resource for clients. She applies a collaborative strategy, bringing her clients into the process in order to create a comfortable, fun, and fulfilling experience for everybody involved. Working with Charis provides more than a superior end-product - she equips clients with a sense of confidence and satisfaction. Ultimately, her desire is to assist each person in creating their dream design that reflects their personal style and taste.

Charis spends her time outside of work in many ways. She can often be found with family and friends either relaxing or engaged in some sort of rambunctious activity. Charis is a gifted creative force - she is a skilled photographer, an accredited hairdresser, a vocalist, and a lively storyteller.

Equipped with a special sense of focus and organization, Brennon is the latest addition to the Echterling Builders team.

He carries the torch of the Echterling tradition with his commitment to quality work, kind communication, and attention to detail.

Outside of work, Brennon is a lively member of many communities. He enjoys playing sports and games with friends and family. Brennon is also an avid outdoorsman, and an artist of many disciplines.

After spending many summers working on the labor crew for EBI alongside his brother Brennon, Michael uses that experience to add a unique element to the Echterling Builders team as the social media manager for the company. Michael takes on many roles, such as writing compelling articles for the company blog, designing digital content, managing social media, and producing video/photo content for promotional use. Michael also handles purchasing and administrative work for the company.
