Johann Bayer immigrated to the USA in 1957 and trained as a blacksmith. With his sons, he started Bayer Blacksmith in 1981. His portfolio includes brass work in the lobby of the Drake Hotel and transformation of a Canadian icebreaker into the Chicago Yacht Club. Son Art discovered an affinity for the construction side of the business and founded Bayer Builders in 1991. Two of Art's sons, John and Aaron, joined the business after completing a carpentry apprenticeship in Chicago (John) and a roofing apprenticeship in Alaska (Aaron). John and Aaron continue in their grandpa's footsteps. From Loop to the far north and west suburbs, successful projects and satisfied customers show the Bayers' continued commitment to detail.
The Bayer Builders business model is unique. The family has a strong history as craftsmen, but John and Aaron were also trained in the fast-paced, competitive fields of carpentry and roofing. Combining artistry with fast, professional work means Bayer Builders can both execute innovative projects and quickly turn a home for resale. Many businesses focus on speed OR quality; Bayer Builders believes these must go hand-in-hand.
