Company History: A Family Legacy

The story of Home Base in Southgate, MI began over 50 years ago. In 1972, John Dodson founded "Dodson Construction," focusing on general building and masonry. It was a true family operation from the start. In 1996, his son Todd Dodson took over the business. Under Todd's leadership, the company expanded its services and was renamed Home Base, Inc. The goal was always to offer more to customers while keeping the trusted, personal touch of a family-owned company.
