Custom Home Builder in Jonesville, Michigan
On the St. Joseph at US-12 and M-99
Jonesville sits on the St. Joseph River where US-12 and M-99 cross, about twenty five minutes south of our home base in Concord. We have been building in this part of Michigan since 1949, and the fourth generation of our family runs the company now.
Jonesville is two building jobs in one. In town you have narrow tree lined lots along Chicago Street and houses that went up in the eighteen hundreds. Past the edge of town, Fayette and Scipio townships are farm ground with room for a pole barn, a shop or a barndominium.
Where We Build Around Jonesville
Additions on Old Foundations
Most of the older housing in town dates to the eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds, which means stone and block foundations, balloon framing, and additions that were tacked on over the years without much of a plan. When we put an addition on a house like that, the first thing we do is figure out what is actually holding it up. The in town lots are deep and narrow, often with an alley behind, so a new garage usually goes at the back of the lot.
Farm Splits and Barndominiums
Out in Fayette and Scipio townships and up toward Litchfield, land gets split off family farms in five to twenty acre pieces, and the buyers want a house and a big barn on the same parcel. That is where barndominiums make sense. You are on well and septic instead of city water and sewer, so the health agency permit and the perc test come before we draw anything. Ground near the St. Joseph River holds water, and we plan the site around that instead of fighting it.

When we were looking for a builder for a new home, we toured a couple of Strouss homes. The build quality and attention to detail was very impressive.
