Services

What we do

Kitchen & Bath Remodels

Layouts, cabinetry, and finishes that hold up to daily use — planned around how your home actually lives.

Home Additions

More room for a growing family — bump-outs, second stories, and in-law suites tied cleanly into the existing house.

Decks & Outdoor Living

Decks, porches, and patios built for lakeshore summers — and the materials to survive the winters.

Roofing & Siding

The parts of the home that take the weather. Tight, weathertight exteriors that keep water where it belongs.

Basement Finishing

Turn the space under your feet into a real room — moisture-smart framing, insulation, and finishes.

New Construction

Ground-up custom homes, managed from the first stake to the final walkthrough by the people building it.

Why Richter

A builder you can actually reach

20 years on the Lakeshore

Two decades working in the same communities means a lot of the work comes from repeat clients and neighbors they sent our way. We plan to be here for the next project too.

One point of contact

You talk to the person running your project, not a call center. Owner-led communication keeps decisions quick and the details from getting lost between crews.

Built for Michigan weather

Freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect snow, and wind off the water are hard on a home. We spec materials and details that are chosen for this climate, not a catalog average.
