Vine Country Builders
Our Story
In the Summer of 2016 Rodney and Lillian Smoker, along with his family, moved to the Finger Lakes area from Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Rodney was originally born in Dundee, NY but had left as a young kid back in the mid ’80’s. After being with his parents and family as missionaries in Haiti for 20 years, Rodney moved to Lancaster, PA and there met Lillian, settled down and started their family. 11 years later they sold their construction company in Lancaster and moved up with their 4 kids and began settling again. Now six kids and a growing construction company later, this place is totally home.

More Than Just Builders
A Local, Homegrown Construction Company
Over the past few years our company has really grown, creating jobs and opportunity. With growth comes deepened relationships with our employees, vendors, customers, and the broader community. Seeing the quality of life increase for those within the company and our growing clientele is a big deal for us.
We are meeting the needs of the Seneca Lake area, helping the people who have become our friends and neighbors with their homes and property. We love seeing people put their roots down and a home is the best thing for that.
You Can Count On Us
Seneca Lake’s #1 Building Team
We are only as strong as the people that we surround our selves with. I’m honored to be surrounded by this group of men and women that put in the work every day. Our strength and honor as a company is tied to the people in this picture. Their commitment to living out what they believe in shines brighter than any advertisement we could come up with! I have come to trust and respect them each for who they are and what they do on a daily basis. And the fun we get to have while doing our jobs and making money is so refreshing! We have all grown to be better leaders, friends, dads, husbands and wives because of the relationships that have been built. Stop in and talk with us anytime!
