Stephen Straz Male • United States of America

Stephen Straz learned early that craftsmanship comes from patience and taking the time to do things the right way. As a kid, he often stayed behind to finish tasks carefully, and that steady discipline later shaped the direction of his career. These early values continue to guide how Stephen Straz approaches every project today.

He leads Straz Builders LLC on the South Shore of Massachusetts, with operations in Marshfield and Pembroke. His company specializes in custom luxury homes, renovations, sustainable and energy-efficient communities, and real estate investments across the South Shore, Greater Boston, Cape Cod, and other parts of New England.

His background blends hands-on experience with strong professional qualifications. He holds a Massachusetts Unrestricted Construction Supervisor’s License, a Class A CDL with hazmat and passenger endorsements, and licenses in hoisting and hydraulics. From 2018 to 2020, he managed about $12 million in real estate holdings, including roughly $4 million in active construction and $2 million raised from outside investors. A key accomplishment during those years was the renovation and sale of 130 Gray Street in Arlington, which sold for $1.3 million—$130,000 above the asking price.

Stephen's design approach focuses on how people move through and use their homes. He pays close attention to natural light, storage, and daily flow to create spaces that feel practical and comfortable. A long horizontal kitchen backsplash window is a feature he often includes, offering light and depth through a simple and functional detail.

He stays involved from early zoning meetings through the final walk-through, ensuring clear communication so clients always understand where their project is. His work includes new construction, high-end renovations, and investment properties across Plymouth County, Norfolk County, Cape Cod, and the Lake Winnipesaukee region. His familiarity with coastal zoning, local building codes, and energy standards helps him anticipate challenges and adapt smoothly.

He earns homeowners' trust by laying out budgets, timelines, and milestones in straightforward terms. Investors receive organized proposals that cover schedules, cost breakdowns, contingencies, and market-supported rationale. On-site, he leads with consistency, respect, and a strong focus on safety and accountability.

Outside of work, he enjoys time outdoors with his family and stays active through a variety of recreational and competitive activities.

For Stephen Straz, each project reflects a commitment to practical design, clear communication, and dependable long-term value.
