Thoughtful Design and
Exceptional Craftsmanship

When Michelle Tanner returned to her hometown of Spring Lake, Michigan in 2001 after spending several years in Minnesota and Alabama, she found herself frustrated by the lack of thoughtful design and timeless style in the local housing market. As the daughter of a fourth-generation custom home builder, Michelle had grown up with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and quality—values she saw missing as she searched for her own new home.

Motivated by this gap in the industry and inspired by her family legacy, Michelle spent nine months researching, planning, and meeting with subcontractors across West Michigan. Her goal was to assemble a team that shared her commitment to excellence and attention to detail. By 2003, she had built not just a team, but a vision—and Michelle Tanner Homes was born.

Now a fifth-generation family business, Michelle Tanner Homes is known for designing and building custom homes that reflect both sophistication and livability. With a hands-on approach and a strong foundation in architectural integrity, Michelle and her team prioritize exceptional customer service, timeless design, and the kind of custom features that make a house feel like home.

A tradition of excellence with a woman’s touch.
