The Pistro Experience

What truly separates Pistro Builders from other custom home builders isn’t just our craftsmanship – it’s the experience we provide you from day one. From the first consultation, we take the time to understand your lifestyle, budget and long-term vision, turning your ideas into a functional, beautiful design that feels like home even before it’s built.

Our customer-first philosophy extends well beyond design meetings. Whether it’s choosing eco-friendly materials, integrating aging-in-place features or navigating permit requirements, we guide you through every step with clarity and care. Regular updates, on-site walkthroughs and direct access to project leads mean you’re never left guessing or out of the loop.

What matters most to us

Our company was built on a commitment to skill, service and trust – a foundation that continues to guide Pistro Builders today.

Mike Goodwin went above and beyond every step of the way and answered any and every question we had. We had a minor weather related issue one night and he and his team literally showed up in their pajamas to make sure we were good. Thank you Mike and thank you to the team at Pistro!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Pistro Builders from Freeland, MI, to construct our dream home in Mount Pleasant, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our vision a reality.

The quality of work is outstanding—not only did they meet our expectations, but they exceeded them in every aspect. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to using high-quality materials truly shine through in our new home.

Communication was always clear and prompt, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They listened to our ideas and provided valuable insights that enhanced our design, making our home not just beautiful but also functional.

We highly recommend Pistro Builders to anyone looking to build their dream home. Thank you for turning our dream into reality!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely are delighted with our new home. Pistro has top notch professionals - in the office, on site, and in their subcontractors.  Charlie and Kim provided suggestions and encouragement for tweaks and decisions during the process so we could stay on budget without compromising quality (and the finished product). They worked with us to get us what we wanted - even when it was outside the “norm”. Kevin was the foreman at Pistro who managed all of the subs. When weather inhibited what came next, he brought in a different contractor doing something that was not weather dependent so the progression and timing of the build stayed on task. He was respectful and followed through on every note. We were on site at least a few times a week. We met the subs - also courteous and respectful.  They spoke very highly of Charlie and Kim and the entire Pistro crew. Most have worked with Pistro for years.  We interviewed five builders before we wisely chose Pistro. If you’re thinking of building your dream home, call Pistro Builders. We are so glad we did!  We thoroughly enjoyed every step as we watched our dream home come to life. We have been in the new house 10 days. It’s better than we hoped for or imagined. Many thanks to the Pistro team - including their subs - for their dedication in building our beautiful home sweet home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had the pleasure of working with Pistro Builders and their team. We couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and commitment to excellence. From start to finish, they were a dream to work with.

First and foremost, their attention to detail was outstanding. Every aspect of the project was carefully planned and executed to perfection. No corners were cut, and the craftsmanship was top-notch. They were also incredibly budget-conscious, ensuring that we stayed on track financially without sacrificing quality. Any adjustments needed were made promptly, and they worked with us to find cost-effective solutions without compromising.

What really set them apart, though, was their exceptional communication. They were always available to answer questions, provide updates, or discuss concerns, no matter the time. Their entire team was not only professional but also friendly and approachable. It was clear that they enjoy what they do, and that positive energy translated into high-quality work and a stress-free experience.

I highly recommend Pistro Builders to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and skilled construction builder in the Tri-Cities. They exceeded all expectations and made the entire experience seamless for our dream home. Thank you Charlie and Kim!
