Prestigious Custom Home Builder

in Elk Rapids, Michigan


We Build Charming Lake Homes That Connect Generations

Masterful New Construction of Lakefront Homes


Every family is unique and we build that into our homes here at Bogard and Sons Construction. From a large family gathering at the lake to a more intimate retirement cottage with all of the luxuries you have earned, each home is built to match your specific needs and desires.


In addition to taking all your requests, wants, and needs seriously, we also find that some lake lots have special challenges. For instance, some lots call for a walk-out basement and others need to be set on the lot to maximize the view or increase privacy. At Bogard and Sons Construction, all of these more complicated factors are considered when building a custom lake front home for our clients.


From complicated site work and design to knocking out the final details on the punch list resulting in the total job completion, Bogard and Sons Construction details the whole package and the entire process.


As a reputable custom home builder in Michigan that residents can rely on, it is a passion and an honor to have built homes of such splendor and beauty that families will be enjoying for years and generations to come.

Expect Careful Conversations About Your Waterfront Home Plans


Congratulations on getting to the point in your life where you are able to build a custom lake home for vacations or, one day, retirement. We know you are serious about the Michigan custom home builder you hire to build it for you.


We take pride in our previous work and in what we are producing now. Bogard and Sons Construction has built amazing homes and has been diligent about creating a reputation for excellence in the Northern Michigan new home construction market.


We would love the opportunity to sit down with you and show you exactly what we can do. With that said, in addition to presenting our process and our portfolio of successful projects, we are very careful about ensuring that you are a good fit for us as much as us being a good fit for you!


We will have a detailed conversation about the lot where you plan on constructing your dream lake home, your vision for its functionality and style, your ideas for plans and designs, and your budget and timeline for completing your new custom-built waterfront home.


Our many successful years in the custom home building industry helps us ask the right questions and show our clients just how much we care about turning dreams into reality.


Work With the Most Committed Employees and Subcontractors



The opportunity to build a second or third home for people is a very large responsibility as well as a pleasure. This process is always a bit complicated, given the unique needs and desires for custom features that our clients typically have, so we make sure that everyone we work with is a good fit for us.


We make sure that we have only the highest-character employees and subcontractors possible. We are very selective about working with high-caliber individuals who have a passion for excellence compounded by professional and seasoned expertise. This approach makes the process move along smoothly and we are able to maintain a personal and professional relationship that can last for years to come.


If you are curious about the types of clients who have enjoyed working with us in the past, we encourage you to take a look at our reviews from satisfied clients. You can find them on our testimonials page as well as our Google Business Listing.


Our clients love to refer us after experiencing what an amazing job we do. We sincerely appreciate the kind words they have shared about us and our service. We are very realistic and pride ourselves in knowing our capacity and capabilities so that we can set reasonable expectations when engaging in contracts with new prospective clients.


If you are looking for the cheapest builder who will slam your house together as quickly as possible, then we are probably not a good fit for your project.

Custom Lake Homes Built With Precision and Professional Pride


We let our clients know upfront that we take our time in the details, and we make sure everything is right the first time.


Our tolerances for square, plumb, and level are tighter than the industry standards, which results in a better-looking finished product every time. Our clients know this and prefer this high level of excellence over the quick, cheap home.


We want the homes that we build to last longer than the average house and stay in families for generations.


We have found time and time again that spending a little extra time squaring up the footings and foundation actually saves us time in the long run when we are framing the walls, laying the floor, and installing the roof above.


Our intense care gives you a well-built luxury lake house with no messy-looking caulked joints and cracking drywall problems.
