Mike Cusack Homes

We cannot say enough good things about Mike Cusack and we are so glad God provided him to be our builder. Mike met with us and with Steve, the architect, on the lot for the house even before we had purchased it. From the beginning he held our hands as we navigated getting the land plotted with the City of Dallas (not an easy process which took almost a year!) and then guided us to a Steve for the architectural drawings. He arranged multiple meetings with subcontractors to work out the details of the house. Mike is a second-generation home builder and general contractor with more than 30 years of experience. He built homes in Tennessee with his father before moving to Dallas, so he was unfazed by the large hill where we were planning on building our future home. It was clear from the first conversation that Mike knew what he was doing and could anticipate future problems that might arise with the complexity of building a house on the side of a hill. He was extremely patient with us as we worked through the legal process of platting in the City of Dallas. He was patient with us when we had to change the design of the house to make it work with our budget. He thought of every possible detail and his master budget was so detailed - it must have been over 8 pages of line items because he wanted to give us an accurate budget. Once we broke ground, he was pretty much at the house every day. He did a marvelous job supervising the subcontractors and made sure each contractor did the work to his exacting standards - which many times were far and above what we even expected of some of our subcontractors. If the work was not done right he made the contractors do it again properly. Probably the best example was the cabinets that were made for the house. We thought they looked fine when they were all finished but Mike noticed that several of the cabinets had small dents in the cabinet doors. We didn't think we had it in us to redo those cabinet doors but Mike said he couldn't live with himself if he did not get them fixed. He met with the cabinet maker and the painters and he had them remake over a hundred cabinet doors and then had the painter stain and finish them - all at his expense. I think there are very few builders that have this level of integrity because he takes pride in his work. From the beginning it was clear that Mike was competent but over the course of the past two and half years what struck out most to us was the level of integrity and desire to do the work right that typified Mike. Every time we met an obstacle with the build, Mike was already thinking up multiple options to fix the problem. My wife had always said that she did not have the bandwidth to live through a custom home build but Mike made this possible. We had looked at many homes to find one that would work for the unique needs of our family - mainly a place to raise up 10 children and homeschool them and we found that even though there were multiple large homes in Dallas - few are designed to accommodate the needs of a large family. In retrospect, this process would not have been possible without the incredible hard work and dedication of Mike and his team.

I met Mike Cusack when I was looking for a custom home builder to construct my home. I wanted a person that was honest, dependable, knowledgeable in his field and had integrity. After meeting with Mr. Cusack, I knew I had found the person I was seeking. From the very beginning, Mr. Cusack was available to answer my numerous questions, provide me guidance if I was uncertain how something was going to look or flow in my home. He always kept me updated on the construction progress. He was at the job site on a daily basis to make sure the work was to his expectations and be readily available if problems or questions came up. Mike Cusak, like a painter with his canvas, puts his heart and soul into his homes. The quality and craftsmanship will meet or exceed all you expectations. His goal is to provide you with a home that you can be proud of and can enjoy for many years. I am very pleased with my Mike Cusak custom home. If I ever decide to build again, Mr. Cusack will definitely be getting a call from me.

Mike is honest, trust worthy and does a beautiful job! Our remodel of the very old building in Town Square, Lancaster is more than I could have imagined. Our shop opens on the square and our residence opens on First Street. The residence was completely gutted, brought to code and finished worthy of the finest new Home. It’s beautiful and was on the Home tour last year and was a favorite! Mike said he “does nice” and he didn’t lie! Attached are just a few of the before, during and after.

I met Mike over 12 years ago. I design homes for a lot of different builders. Until I went into a house Mike was building. I was amazed at the craftsmanship and quality of his homes. Mike Cusack Homes is like no other builder. We instantly became great friends and the builder of my choice. I love it when Mike gets to build a house that I designed. Because he takes it to the next level. Mike has been using the same work crews for years. Mike is passionate about his houses. You can not go wrong with Mike Cusack Homes.
