Draper Construction, Inc. · Wabash, Indiana
Building homes around Wabash for forty years.
Mark Draper has put up houses, additions and garages across Wabash County for four decades, almost all of it on referral. This is what that work would look like with an address online.
You can drive past the work
Houses, additions and garages across Wabash County, going back forty years. The work is all still standing out there, but there is nowhere online to go and look at it. Your photographs belong in these six slots.

The six photographs above are licensed stock. They show the kind of work, not yours, and each one says so on its face. Six to twelve photos off your phone would replace the lot, and that is the first thing we would ask you for.
We serve Wabash and the towns around it
These are the towns a site like this would target in Google, so that someone searching “home builder near me” finds you instead of a builder from two counties over. We drew this list from your location and nothing else, so you will want to correct it.

A proposed service list, confirmed at kickoff.
Registered, year after year
Every year below is a matter of public record with the City of Wabash.
- 1986 Draper Construction, Inc. begins building in Wabash County BBB business start date
- 2021 Registered contractor, City of Wabash — #164 City of Wabash registrations
- 2022 Registered contractor, City of Wabash — #232 City of Wabash registrations
- 2023 Registered contractor, City of Wabash — #169 City of Wabash registrations
- 2024 Registered contractor, City of Wabash — #135 City of Wabash registrations
Forty years of service in Wabash County, counted from the 1986 start date on the BBB file.
The city register is our source for 2021 through 2024. We did not find Draper Construction on the city's 2025 or 2026 lists, so if you registered those years, or if your work has been outside city limits, tell us and this section gets corrected. We could not verify licensing, bonding or insurance anywhere either, so the page stays quiet on all three. Send the details over and they go here.
Your reviews go here
We found no published reviews for Draper Construction anywhere online. No Google rating, no Facebook page, nothing on the BBB file.
After forty years there is no shortage of satisfied customers, but nobody has ever asked them to write anything down. Setting up a Google Business Profile and an easy way to ask is part of this project, and that is what fills this space.
Mark Draper
Mark Draper has run Draper Construction since 1986 and is the name on every City of Wabash contractor registration we could find. When you call the number on this page, he's who answers.
A photo and a few lines in Mark's own words belong here. We haven't invented either.

End of the concept · start of the proposal
Everything above is a mockup. Here is what it would take to build it.
Built for Mark Draper by Intense Visions, a web studio in northeast Indiana. Nothing above was invented. Every fact on this page came from public record, and anything we couldn't verify is marked as yours to fill in.
The case for a site
Get found, and own it
Draper Construction has no website and no Facebook page. That means when somebody in Wabash County opens their phone and types “home builder near me,” there is nothing of yours to find.
What they find instead are builders who do have pages aimed at your county. K. Graber Construction runs a “New Home Construction in Wabash County” page. TK Constructors, an out-of-town volume builder, runs one titled simply “Wabash, Indiana.” Neither has been here since 1986. Both are easier to find than you.
The forty years are the hard part and they are behind you. What's missing is an address you hold outright, one that still answers at eleven at night when nobody is in the office.

Proposal
What it costs
Two ways to do this, and both include the whole site, hosting, security and ongoing care. These are estimates for a site the size of the one above, settled on a 15-minute call.
Own it outright
$1,500one time
+ $29/month care
- You own the site outright on day one
- Hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring
- Minor edits included
- Google Business Profile setup
- Care plan required, since it keeps the site online and secure
How that compares
- Local agency, custom build$3,000–$6,000 + $99–$250/mo
- Managed website services$299–$450/mo
- WP Engine, raw hosting only, nobody building or maintaining it$30–$50/mo
- Wix / Squarespace, built and maintained by you$25–$60/mo
Your address online
Checked live on , when all four were open. Registering one runs about $15 a year and is included either way.

Photo gallery you update
Add finished jobs from your phone, no developer needed.
Automatic review requests
A text or card that asks happy customers for a Google review.
Online estimate scheduling
Let people book a walkthrough without a phone call.
If you say yes
How it goes
Roughly two weeks of our work, paced by how fast the photos and answers come back. We won't set a launch date until those are in hand, because that is not a day we control.
-
01
Kickoff call
Fifteen minutes to confirm services, service area, hours and licensing, and to pick the domain.
Needs: 15 minutes of your time
-
02
You send photos
Six to twelve job photos, and phone pictures are fine. This is the one step that decides the schedule.
Needs: your photos. Everything downstream waits on this.
-
03
Week one: design and words
We build the real pages around your photos and the answers from the kickoff, then send a link.
Needs: nothing from you
-
04
Week two: your review
You mark up what's wrong and we fix it, with one more pass if it needs one.
Needs: one round of feedback
-
05
Launch
Domain goes live, Google Business Profile set up and linked, site submitted to Google.
Needs: your approval
-
06
Ongoing
We host it, keep it patched, watch it stay up, and make your edits when you call.
Needs: nothing from you
The one next step
Call or text Noah Warner at (260) 212-8313 and say whether the forty-years angle is right. Fifteen minutes, no obligation.

The system we'd build you
None of this came off a template. Every choice below traces to something true about Draper Construction.
Colour
Warm plaster and timber, the colours of a house under construction instead of a tech brand. The one accent is the blue of a snapped chalk line.
- Plaster
#f4efe6 - Timber ink
#221c16 - Chalk line
#15628f - Shadow line

Type
A slab face with squared ends, like the grade stamp on a piece of framing lumber, set over a plain readable sans.

Brand mark
A concept to refine together, with the D set inside a framed opening like a doorway roughed in.

Voice
Short sentences and plain words, the way a builder with forty years behind him actually talks.
Sounds right“Building homes around Wabash for forty years.”
Sounds wrong“Elevate your vision with cutting-edge solutions.”
About hiring us
- How much, really?
- $99/month all-in with nothing down, or $1,500 up front plus $29/month for care. Both are estimates for a site this size, and they get settled on the call, not after it.
- How long until it's live?
- About two weeks of our work, though what sets the pace is how fast you get us photos.
- Do I own it, or am I renting?
- On the $1,500 plan you own it outright. On the $99 plan you're subscribing to the build plus the care. Either way the domain is registered in your name.
- What does the monthly actually cover?
- Hosting, the security certificate, backups, uptime monitoring, patching, and edits when you call. Every site needs this, which is why we don't sell a build without it.
- Can I cancel?
- The $99 plan has a 12-month minimum, then it's cancel-anytime. The care plan on the owned site is cancel-anytime from the start.
- What if I already own a domain?
- Even better, we point it at the new site. Do check whether draperconstruction.com is already yours.
