Armstrong Homes

Building Luxury Homes, One Masterpiece at a Time

We craft every luxury home with exceptional skill, focusing on the finest details. We oversee each step, using top materials and timeless techniques to realize your vision. Here’s the kicker: we limit ourselves to only a few projects a year, making your home not only a work of art but also a rare treasure. Will you be one of the select few to experience extraordinary craftsmanship?

EXPERIENCE THE BEST

Unparalleled Luxury and Expertise

At Armstrong Homes, luxury isn’t just a promise—it’s a legacy forged over 40 years of mastery. We understand every detail of the craft, from land development to integrating AI technology. We don’t just coordinate; we roll up our sleeves and build, bridging the gap between vision and reality with hands-on precision. Whether it’s a sleek modern barndominium, a timeless French country estate, or a striking board and batten design, every home is a testament to our passion for edgy, forward-thinking luxury.

OUR DIFFERENCE

WHAT SETS US APART

What truly sets us apart? The details others overlook. Imagine a beautiful chicken coop as stylish as your home, a luxury horse barn and arena that redefines elegance, or a high-end garden crafted with input from our in-house wildlife biologist. These aren’t add-ons—they’re extensions of your lifestyle, executed with the same care as every foundation we pour. At Armstrong Homes, we don’t follow the crowd; we set the most current innovations available.

ABOUT US

Who We Are and What We Do

It started in the 1980s as a young man in his late twenties developed a passion for building homes. Brett Armstrong, current President, imagined that he could use his passion for construction, hands-on experience, and his education in business and real estate to make his dreams become a reality. He wanted to build homes that would not only stand the test of time but incorporate old-world craftsmanship with ever-changing innovation.

In 1990, Armstrong Homes was officially born. The early years consisted of remodels, small projects, a small team, and a few new construction homes. Throughout the years, our experience grew along with our passion, while learning every step of the way. Larger projects, more employees, trucks, and diversification allowed our name and reputation to take a foothold in southeastern Michigan.

Armstrong Homes’ middle decades opened the doors to land developments, multiple subdivisions, and high-end luxury custom homes. This led to an employment team of sales, assistants, onsite daily laborers, site supervisors, in-house construction crews, designers, interior decorators, and an experienced sales and brokerage staff.

As our business grew, we adopted the mission statement: “We work as hard at staying small as most corporations work at becoming big.” Simple but powerful, this motto keeps us grounded and accessible to our client base.

As the years went on, we built hundreds of homes for happy customers and won many awards along the way, including but not limited to Model Home of the Year and Kitchen of the Year by numerous publications.

Then the 2008 housing recession happened. Our spirit, resilience, and mission statement came into full effect during those difficult times. Through our faith and beliefs, we treaded water during those years as we regretfully watched so many others in our industry drown. But the sun did shine again, and we went back to work—downsized but as enthusiastic as ever. Over time, we all healed, and Armstrong Homes comfortably continued to build its reputation as a leader in its field of construction once again.

As our current decade started, COVID-19 was another hurdle we all fought, both in life and in business. We were fortunate enough to be in a position to downscale to meet the current situation and survive once again. As you can imagine, our mission statement from 30 years earlier allowed us to continue to refine and always improve in every aspect of being a custom home builder.

After 40 years in this business, we still tackle new challenges and learn new skills every day. Most owners who run a successful business for four decades usually throw in the towel and decide to retire—but not at Armstrong Homes. It is something that we love and that we’re pretty darn good at, so why stop now?

Today, Armstrong Homes is a selective client-based custom builder that takes on only a handful of projects per year. Our choices of who we build for are not based on profitability or convenience. They are based on qualified, happy, and secure clients who are looking for the same from their builder—a builder who has the most professional contractors and suppliers and a design background that is innovative without losing old-world craftsmanship and good ol’ fashioned common sense.

UNIQUE EXPERTISE

Exclusivity by Design

Armstrong Homes doesn’t build for the masses—we build for the few. Limited to just a few projects per year, we pour heart and soul into every home, ensuring each is a rare masterpiece whether large or small. This isn’t about volume; it’s about passion. From modern luxury retreats to sprawling country estates, we craft residences that break the mold—each one as unique as the clients we choose to serve. Our process is fun, personal, and built on trust, but it starts with a question: Are you the right fit?

We’re as selective as you are. Our vetting process ensures we work only with those who share our vision—do you own property? Are you prepared to invest $500,000+ in a home that’s anything but ordinary? If so, you might earn a spot in our exclusive lineup. In Southeast Michigan’s tri-county area, Armstrong Homes isn’t just a builder; we’re a gateway to a legacy. Select homes. Select clients.
