The Rick and Tracy Ellis team are proud to represent Fischer & Frichtel, arguably one of the best home builders in the St. Louis and St. Charles areas, in one of their latest developments, wakefield forest in Wildwood, Missouri, with the start of this new partnership, Rick and I wanted to use this opportunity to learn the history behind Fischer and Frichtel from one of the men who’s helped to make the company into what it is today—John Fischer.
The Fischer family has been in the home building business for over 70 years. After returning home from World War II, John’s father, along with both his brother and his brother-in-law, started building homes, and for the tradition to have survived for the past 70 years makes quite a statement.
At just 14-years-old, John Fischer began working for his father in the building business. From carpentry to working on the labor force or the concrete team, John always knew he’d be a builder.
“It never crossed my mind that I’d be anything other than a builder, ” said Fischer .His passion and knowledge about the building industry is reflected in the company’s reputation for value and high standards.
Even through the tough economy of the past few years, Fischer & Frichtel has maintained a level of quality many other builders sacrificed to stay in business, and hasn’t gone unnoticed. From design and community development to the finer details, Fischer & Frichtel inherited its reputation for quality from start to finish, and its a reputation that has managed to withstand the test of time.
