DeHaan Homes

About Us

Douglas DeHaanWhen your name is on the door and that name has been synonymous with fine homebuilding for four generations, you bear a responsibility bigger than yourself. Every decision, every client, every home benefits from the wisdom of 80+ years of experience. Over the years the tools may have changed, but the passion to deliver the very best home to a discriminating clientele has remained the same. CAD software, iPhones, leveling lasers and PDFs may have been inconceivable to the first generation of DeHaan builders erecting parsonages from Iowa to Michgan, but the principles that guide the company today were well established then.

Building is a complicated process. Plan carefully. Document expectations. When problems arise, deal with them quickly, communicate the consequences.

Earn loyalty from your clients and your suppliers.

Live by the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

 

Building the Dream

We wrote the book on Custom Home Building... click here to find out more about the book.

 A house is more than a home, especially for our clients.  Clients chose DeHaan Homes to build their high-end luxury home on beautiful waterfront lots, including the stunning views on Lake Michigan.  We have created many homes for families along the water, so our perspective on waterfront living is key to building the best home for our clients.  Waterfront living is different from living anywhere else because you take into account the wind, site conditions, special permitting, and the increased use of natural light and views.

There are few things in life as personal as your home.  Making the choice to build a luxury, custom home can be one of life's most rewarding adventures.  If you are lacking the right information, or working with a builder who is not an advocate of your needs, it can also be filled with unforeseen problems and delays.  That's why we want this book to serve as your guide and an essential and helpful resource.  The information in this book (highlights of our 25 years of experience) will help you make more informed choices and have less stress and greater confidence throughout the entire process.

Your dreams of creating your custom, luxury home are only a few pages away.  Are you ready to get started? Click here to find out more about the book. Or, give us a call at (616) 896-8300 and we will be happy to send you a copy for the special price of only $9.99.
