SaddleBrooke creating affordable living, one nail at a time

When Kyler Kropf decided building portable backyard sheds in 2019, he set the course for what would lead to a family business.

“He went into Lowe’s, bought the lumber himself and it took him anywhere from two weeks to a month to build a 12- by 14-foot shed … In 2020 when COVID hit, it really took off. People were really excited about their backyards, about expanding because they had a lot of time on their hands. We saw a need, and slowly started getting into building something bigger and bigger,” said Kolton Kropf.

Because the desire for new homes was on the rise but prices for materials were also rising, people began looking at smaller, more affordable options.
