Welcome to Harbor Design and Construction, the only custom homes builder you’ll ever need in West Michigan.

Picture this: you’re standing on the deck of your brand new Lake Michigan home, breathing in that crisp lakeshore air and delighting in the awesome sight of America’s favorite inland sea. What citizen of the Great Lakes State hasn’t fantasized about such a thing, at least a time or two? Well, you can make that dream a reality—and we’re poised and ready to help you do just that.

We specialize in custom design-build construction of personalized homes of all sizes and complexity, mostly in western lakeshore communities like Hart, Ludington, Montague, Pentwater, Shelby, and the Mears/Silver Lake area. Forget about the cookie-cutter approach; each of our homes is a unique work of art—and you’re the one who decides what it looks like, not us. We won’t even start work until we understand what you want as intimately as you do…and if you’re not quite sure about the details, then we’ll be happy to help you work them out.

You see, you’re so much more than just a client to us: you’re the most important part of our design-build construction team. We treat each new construction as not just the home of your dreams, but of ours too—because we know how special it is to you. It’s our sincere desire to help you turn your dreams into reality.

We’ve built our company around clear, patient communication, respectful client-builder relationships, and quality work that everyone involved can take pride in. Why? Because we think that’s the only way to do business. You see, we don’t just build houses, we’re custom homes builders.  We craft relaxing, cherished spaces destined to become an integral part of the fabric of our client families’ lives.

Just take a look at all the services we have to offer:

Home Design & Remodeling
