Stephen Straz

Stephen Straz grew up with the belief that patience and doing things the right way matter more than shortcuts. As a child, he often stayed behind to finish tasks carefully, and that steady commitment eventually shaped his professional path. These early lessons continue to guide how Stephen Straz approaches every project today.

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

He holds a Massachusetts Unrestricted Construction Supervisor’s License, a Class A CDL with hazmat and passenger endorsements, along with hoisting and hydraulics licenses. Between 2018 and 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 notable accomplishment during that time was the complete renovation and sale of 130 Gray Street in Arlington, which sold for $1.3 million, finishing $130,000 above the asking price.

Stephen's design approach begins with understanding how people use a space each day. He considers natural light, storage, and overall flow to create layouts that are practical and comfortable. A detail he often includes is a long horizontal kitchen backsplash window, which adds depth and natural light in a simple, functional way.

He stays involved from zoning meetings to the final walk-through, maintaining communication so clients know what to expect at each stage. His portfolio includes new construction, high-end renovations, and investment properties across Plymouth County, Norfolk County, Cape Cod, and the Lake Winnipesaukee area. His knowledge of coastal zoning, regional requirements, and energy standards helps him manage challenges across different markets.

Stephen builds trust with homeowners by clearly outlining costs, timelines, and milestones. Investors receive organized proposals with budgets, schedules, contingencies, and market-supported reasoning. On-site, he leads with respect, consistency, and a focus on safety and accountability.

Outside of work, he enjoys outdoor time with his family and stays active through a wide range of recreational and competitive activities.

For Stephen Straz, every project reflects a long-term commitment to practical design, honest communication, and dependable results.
