Lakefront Homes

Houses that hold their own against wind, water, and time on Lake Michigan.

About this service

Lakefront construction along the West Michigan shore is its own discipline. Sites are steep, soils shift, dune regulations are particular, and the houses that survive for generations are the ones built to anticipate the weather — not resist it.

We've spent years on jobsites from Saugatuck to South Haven learning how to site a home that opens fully to the water while staying warm in February and dry during a northwest gale. Every detail matters: deep overhangs, corrosion-rated hardware, properly vented roof assemblies, storm-rated glazing.

If you're building on the lake, we'd love to walk the site with you before anyone sketches a thing.
