Lombardo Homes Review

Lombardo Homes is a home builder that specializes in site built houses in Southeastern Michigan and Central Missouri. Like some other residential construction companies, Lombardo Homes acts as both a community developer, selling homes as part of a larger community, and also as an on-your-lot builder, constructing one-off houses on private lots. And for individuals on a tighter schedule, Lombardo Homes also sells completed, or nearly completed, quick move-in homes.

In the case of wanting to build a single family house with Lombardo Homes, whether as part of a community or on a private lot, the process starts by selecting one of their 24+ pre-designed floor plans. Depending on the project location, there may be some variations in the designs available and their base prices. While Lombardo Homes does not work on one-off custom homes themselves, they direct buyers interested in fully-custom homes to their partner company, Cranbrook Custom Homes.

Standard homes range from 1,390 square feet to over 5,000 square feet. And depending on the plan, buyers can choose from several exterior aesthetics which include European, Craftsman, and Farmhouse architecture. For buyers in Lombardo’s Missouri market, there is also the option for modern home designs. It is important to note that Lombardo Homes offers varying levels of home packages. Major differences between the packages include hardwood vs. vinyl/carpet flooring, solid surface vs. laminate countertops, and upgraded vs. standard appliances. In addition to package upgrades, buyers can make individual upgrades and customizations to their home.

From a process standpoint, Lombardo Homes is a turn-key home builder. This means that they handle all aspects of the project themselves, or they contract and manage independent trade partners. This includes everything from laying a foundation and framing the home to installing and completing utilities and interior finishes. Depending on your circumstances, Lombardo Homes can even help customers find land and secure financing for their project.

Strengths:

  • Build & sell both move-in ready homes as well as on-your-lot projects

  • Offer several different tiers of home finishes to accommodate for different budgets

  • Are a turn-key company and handle all stages of the project themselves or manage independent trade partners

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • You are looking to build a fully custom home, designed from scratch

  • You are looking for a builder that specializes in modern architecture
