Testimonials
"He finished the house on time and on budget and we have enjoyed it immensely ever since.
We saw a J.Peterson Homes sign on the side of the road when we were looking for a vacation home Up North and decided to see what Joel had to offer. That call ended up being a great decision. Throughout the process of design and construction Joel and his staff made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted."
Chris G.
“High level of quality and their knowledge of developing trends and technologies in homebuilding.
As an engineer, I wanted a builder that was going to deliver the highest quality and exceed the status quo. As an interior designer, my wife wanted contemporary styling and finishes. J. Peterson was the perfect blend of our expectations and built us a home that we feel confident is not only timeless but we can pass down to future generations.”
Philip P.
“Joel and his team did a fantastic job building our dream home.
We couldn’t be happier with the end result, and Joel was a strong asset throughout the entire process. He managed our budget tightly and moved mountains to make sure we were in on time. If we ever build again it would most definitely be with J. Peterson Homes.”
Dr Mario O.
“They made the process very smooth and painless.
From planning to building, we truly felt that Joel Peterson homes was looking out for us. As busy professionals we are thankful that we found Joel Peterson Homes as they went out of their way to insure that our home was completed with high quality work and within the timeframe originally specified. If we ever build again there is no question that we would use Joel Peterson Homes.”

JP supporting Traverse City’s own @billystrings in Nashville this weekend. He’s come a long way from busking on the corner of Cass and Front for change!
Given that our clients are spread out all over the country, at JPH we send all clients a weekly project photo report along with tasks completed this past week and the schedule for next week. Communicate and perform!
Because the best rooms in Northern Michigan don’t always have four walls.

This “extra” Michigan Winter has us daydreaming about our last build in Islamorada.
Several design Zoom meetings with clients today including this stunning Lake Michigan home in Antrim County. It might be frigid out but it takes a real winter to get Spring flowers. 💐
