Custom Wood Homes


KM Contractors is experienced in building all kinds of solid and affordable homes, but favors those with strong wood details: real wood siding (board or cedar shake), heavy exposed beam work, and some tongue-and-groove interior wood ceilings and walls. Part of this is natural inclination from a lead contractor whose father, uncles, and grandparents spent their lives as builders when wood was the resource of choice, and part of this comes from a sense of what’s appropriate in a rustic and waterfront setting. KM assures its customers that their investment in wood will last and not be outdated when it’s passed to their children and grandchildren. KM believes that, “a wood home breathes with its occupants, and is never confining.”

Log Cabins


KM Contractors has built charming and unique log cabins that fit in with the environment and offers the comfort and elegance you desire in a custom log home. We can order a cabin package, order just the logs from a mill anywhere in the world or put a crew in the woods to “do it the old-fashioned way,” starting from scratch. Let’s sit down and talk to see if we can match a project to your budget. If we run into an obstacle, we’ll put our heads together to overcome it. Remember, in building, there’s always another way. We are anxious to help you fulfill your dreams.









Custom Lakefront Homes


KM Contractors has built both affordable chalets on Lake Michigan and large custom homes designed for our customers’ unique wishes and requirements to maximize challenging sites for a stunning final result. Your home will be built on schedule and within budget.

The lakeside home featured above overlooks the lake on Beaver Island’s south end. A wall of glass provides an unmatched view from the living room, with an open kitchen sharing the stunning view. Up the wonderful open stairway, one discovers a large open balcony above, with beautiful wood floor, walls, and ceiling. The view out the front wall of glass is perfectly framed for the versatile space above.

The upstairs loft overlooks the living room and the lake. In front, a large deck looks out at the blue-green breakers. The transparent wood stove relaxes anyone watching the waves crash against the shore and provides the perfect spot to enjoy the lake view all seasons of the year.
