When it comes to the designing of your quality custom built home, it’s important to have the right people working with you. Even with a solid idea for your home’s design in mind, there are still many details incorporated in both the exterior and interior of your home plan.
We are local professionals looking forward to building your new home. Our number one focus is working to help you make the right decisions in every step of the building process. By using only the best licensed contractors, we promise you’ll never have to worry about all of the finishing touches that make your new home perfect.
At Tumolo Building, we place the emphasis on you. By first listening to your thoughts, concerns, needs and ideas, and then sharing our expertise with you we’ll help you to discover the details of your dream home…from the exterior roofing and trim, to the type of fixtures and shade of paint you’ve envisioned. Here are just a few simple rules to follow…
Good flexible floor plans have a mix of spaces to entertain guests and private areas for your use. Some ideas our homeowners have recently chosen are: complete home offices, children’s learning and play areas, hobby rooms, and home gyms. Think about how you like to relax after a long day, and plan for that space in your new home!
Include large storage spaces: Plenty of space in pantries, linen closets and walk-in bedroom closets is essential. Don’t forget the garage and the mud rooms when planning your new home! With Michigan’s weather, you’ll want storage space for coats, hats, shovels and shoes.
The laundry room should not be a part of the entry way. With our flexible home designs, you chose where the laundry room goes. Whether it’s just off the kitchen or up the stairs, we’ll help you pick just the right spot.
Square footage does not always equal usable space. Bigger isn’t always better. What is most important when designing your home is to tailor the layout to your lifestyle. Need plenty of counter space for gourmet cooking? Looking for a cozy hearth room to get away from it all? Want a laundry room you can really do laundry in? Our creative design team helps you design a home that fits you.
We emphasize a pre-planning approach to home design. Our goal is to build you a home that will last a lifetime. We can offer you many custom designs features and options you won’t find when working with larger builders and stock plans. Whether it’s customized storage spaces, CAPS conscious amenities or easily convertible living spaces, your home is designed and built to meet the needs you have now as well as those you foresee in the future.

Ranch Tumolo Building Homeowner
"We love everything about our Tumolo built home! The entire building process was smooth and painless, due to the professional guidance of their team. Working within our budget was an important goal, and this was accomplished to our complete satisfaction.
We have continually received compliments on many of the design features, including our gorgeous exterior and entrance way, and have been very pleased with our Tumolo home. Many features are low maintenance, a very important factor to us as retirees, and among our favorite areas are the beautifully designed master suite and the guest bedrooms for our grand kids.
We most certainly would recommend working with Tumolo for your new home project. They truly are an amazing team!"

Two Story Tumolo Building Homeowner
"Jim Tumolo and his team went the extra mile in designing our new home! From laying out the floor plan to incorporating our ideas, their insights into the building process were immeasurable.
We were very particular about the details, and they meticulously guided us through the selection process and even provided an expert mason to put together our custom-designed limestone fireplace.
The Tumolo team has a dynamic ability to rethink and implement changes, and we felt they were readily accessible to answer all of our questions. On a consistent basis they made us aware of any budget or timeline changes, and we were impressed with their overall communication.
If you want to work with a top notch builder that offers exceptional customer service and dependable experience, call Tumolo Building. They are the best in the business and deliver results!"
