At Dovetail Builders, we focus on thoughtful, well-built spaces that are made to last. Founded by Joe Gruss, Dovetail Builders brings more than 20 years of experience in residential and commercial construction, with a hands-on approach to every project from planning through completion.

We specialize in new construction, while also taking on additions and renovations that require creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Whether it’s a custom home, a remodel, or a unique one-of-a-kind build, we enjoy projects that balance craftsmanship with practical design.

Based in Chattanooga, we draw a lot of inspiration from the outdoors and the character of the region around us. We believe construction should feel collaborative and straightforward — clear communication, solid work, and spaces that feel right for the people using them.
