In custom home construction, the people behind the scenes matter as much as the blueprints they bring to life. Every home my company, Mike Hollaway Custom Homes, builds is crafted with the care you’d expect for a project intended for a beloved family member. “I want it done like you’d do it for your own family” is a philosophy that applies to everyone on my team, from architects to the tradespeople swinging hammers and laying tile.

Over the decades, I’ve cultivated relationships with a network of seasoned professionals, each a master of their trade. Hiring me means gaining access to this network—all individuals who meet the same high standards I hold for myself. I have worked with many of these trades over numerous projects, trusting their skills and dedication to quality. I personally supervise their work, ensuring that every detail meets the exceptional standards that have earned our homes a reputation for craftsmanship.

These standards are why Mike Hollaway Custom Homes have collected awards and why they retain their value over the years. The actual craftsmanship that you can’t always see is just as important as the design you love. If you are planning a custom home and want to understand more about the team that will bring your vision to life, call me at (210) 490-0069. Let’s discuss how my dedicated network of skilled professionals can make your dream home a reality.
