Valparaiso • Chesterton • Crown Point and surrounding areas
At Schneider Builders, we’ve been building custom homes across Northwest Indiana for over three decades. As a family-run business based in Valparaiso, we understand what it means to create something lasting — not just a house, but a home that fits your life.
We focus on quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and clear communication throughout every step of the process. Whether you're building in Valparaiso, Chesterton, Crown Point, or another location in Northwest Indiana, we bring the same level of care and expertise to every project.
Building in Valparaiso
Homes That Reflect You — Inside and Out
We’re proud to call Valparaiso home. Over the years, we’ve built in some of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods — Brigata Hills, Grand Prairie, Aberdeen, Pepper Creek, and more — as well as on private lots surrounded by trees and space to grow.
Our homes blend custom selections with the latest trends in design and convenience. Whether you’re looking for a place to entertain or a quiet retreat, we’ll help you design something that fits your style and needs. From layout to finish, every detail is tailored to you.
Building in Porter County
Valparaiso offers a great balance of natural beauty, great schools, and tight-knit community. It’s a place people love coming home to. If you're thinking about building in Porter County, our team is here to help make the process smooth, personal, and rewarding from start to finish.
Building in Chesterton
Custom Homes Near the Dunes and the Lake
Chesterton is known for its small-town charm and proximity to Lake Michigan. It’s an ideal spot for anyone who wants a peaceful setting with access to nature, parks, and commuter routes.
We’ve built a wide range of homes in Chesterton — from traditional styles to more modern and coastal-inspired designs. Clients often come to us with specific ideas: a spa-style bathroom, built-in shelving, vaulted ceilings, or maybe a wine room. We work those ideas into the design from the start.

Our Approach
When we build your custom home, we focus on keeping the process clear and collaborative. We listen to what matters to you, offer guidance where it’s helpful, and bring together a team that values craftsmanship and communication.
Why Chesterton?
People are drawn to Chesterton for its mix of nature and community. With the Indiana Dunes nearby and Chicago less than an hour away, it’s a great place to build something long-term.
Building in Crown Point
Thoughtful Homes in a Growing Community
Crown Point has its own kind of energy — a mix of history, growth, and strong community spirit. With a walkable downtown, great schools, and plenty of parks, it’s a place where families settle in and stay for years.
We’ve worked with homeowners in Crown Point to create homes that fit a wide range of needs and styles. Some want classic curb appeal, others want open-concept living with modern finishes. No matter the vision, we treat each home as a one-of-a-kind build.
What Sets Us Apart
We’re hands-on, responsive, and focused on the details. Our clients appreciate how we keep them involved throughout the process without overwhelming them. It’s all about building trust and delivering a finished home that feels like it was built just for them — because it was.
Why Crown Point?
The city offers a great blend of quiet neighborhoods and local activity. From summer events on the square to weekend farmer’s markets, Crown Point makes it easy to feel at home. We’re proud to be part of its growth.
