Our Story

A builder’s mindset-focused on structure, detail, and durability

Homes by Gary Katt Inc. was built on the belief that exceptional results come from doing the hard things well: planning thoroughly, building correctly, and finishing with care.

From Lake Michigan waterfront construction to whole-home renovations, house raising, and fire restoration, we guide clients through high-stakes decisions with a steady process, transparent timelines, and craftsmanship you can see in every line and joint.
