WIDING CUSTOM HOMES, INC. Featured

Custom home builder Roger Widing's personal philosophy for his business is that "Each home is built with the same dedication and pride as if it were my own home."
Workmanship
The quality of the workmanship that goes into every home built by Widing Custom Homes is a direct reflection of the quality of their employees, all professional career trades people who are specialists in their chosen field. "All of my subcontractors have been with me for many years. They know and understand the quality that I expect and demand from them". Even so, Roger makes a point of personally inspecting the work done in every home he builds. "It's the best way to ensure that every aspect of every job is done and done correctly... right down to the smallest detail".
Quality & Reputation
The foundation of any successful business is its reputation. Widing Custom Homes has spent years building a reputation on quality and pride, which is evident in every aspect of the fine homes we build. From the initial planning and design phase, the selecting of materials to be used, to the final completion, we look forward to the satisfaction of helping my customers build the perfect home for their family.
Preferred Builder
Widing Custom Homes is proud to be a preferred builder in Northern Michigan.
Outdoor Kitchens
Pick up any home magazine and you will find articles on outdoor kitchens which more people are incorporating into their lifestyle. An outdoor kitchen is on the top 10 list of what people want in their home! Families are entertaining at home and upgrading their American Dream to include a gas grill, pizza oven, sink, refrigerator, ice maker, fireplace, and a fire pit to make someore's at a touch of a button. Great kitchen design, weather roofed or not, needs to take into account work space, traffic flow and convenience. Building counters and using bar stools around the grilling area allows the cook to visit while preparing food.
The 2006 Parade of Homes built by Widing Custom Homes has an outdoor kitchen, gas tiki torches, pergola, outdoor pool and fire pits reminiscent of the families visits to the Caribbean.
Let Widing Custom Homes show you how to create a family getaway in your very own backyard!
If I ever build again, Widing Custom homes will be my first choice with no hesitation. I have personal friends who have had Roger build their custom homes and they have all felt the same way. For those who read this and have Widing Custom Homes build their own home, I am sure you will feel the same way.
I give Widing Custom Homes my highest recommendation.
Sincerely, Joseph Amalfitano D.D.S.
We are happy to have become friends with a new community of people associated with Roger and Karen's houses. Widing Custom Homes was referred to us with this statement, "Roger is more interested in a happy customer than making money."
The sub-contractors that make up their team are wonderful and take direction from Roger as a colleague and respect him with the authority of a well-liked boss.
We had a lot of time to schedule 'work-vacations' while we were waiting to sell our home downstate. We shadowed Roger's work on another home during that time and felt completely comfortable with their methods. Everything was done to the highest standard.
We had some limitations with the terrain without incurring extravagant costs for digging into the ground and shoring. We found a possible solution in a book from Widing's office. We requested that Roger investigate and he took us out to the site immediately. Together my husband and Roger staked it out. The solution worked! Roger was very receptive to our requests and questions throughout the entire experience. Always professional and now a continued friend.
Mr. and Mrs. Malinowski
I am a real estate appraiser with over 45 years experience. I have seen more than 15,000 properties professionally. We were introduced to Roger and Karen's work through a Parade of Homes open house and knew that they were the best.
Roger is always upbeat with an entirely positive outlook. His skill and craftsmanship is second to none!
During construction we walked through everything, every step of the process was completed in anticipation and beyond our best intentions. Terrific experience that far exceed our expectations.
We are now personal friends with Roger and Karen because of this experience.
We will not hesitate to share this information with friends, family, and anybody who asks.

Roger suggested design details to bring to the project and made it better. Roger added value to our home. For example, he recommended some arches and a balcony that we enjoy every day.
It was so much fun building this house, we would like to build another one with Widing Custom Homes.
We know several other families that have built with Widing Custom Homes and we all share the same experience. We continue to meet on a regular basis and enjoy the relationships that have been developed because of building our home with Roger and Karen. Also, Erin is most helpful to work with in the office. She is extremely friendly and able to provide answers to our questions in a timely manner.
I love my house and I love my view! Thank You, Roger and Karen.
