Terra Nova is busy right now. Several homes are underway at once, at different stages: foundations just poured, framing already up, and everything in between.

We've been out there with the crew capturing what that progress looks like day-to-day, and once the neighborhood is ready, it'll be worth the wait.

Only one lot remains at Terra Nova. If you've had your eye on it, now's the time: https://loom.ly/yqpaIb0

We've got one spot left in Crahen Village.

Nestled in Forest Hills near a pond, you'd be sitting on 2.7 acres against the road, the largest parcel of the four. Near Forest Hill Schools and mere minutes from Knapp's Corner and downtown Grand Rapids, you'd enjoy the privilege of peaceful living without losing access to your favorite grocery stores.

Interested in learning more? Reach out, or get a better look at the lot on our website.

Most builders will tell you they communicate well. Fewer have a system that proves it.

Every Engelsma client gets access to their build through Buildertrend from day one. Not a monthly check-in. Not a call when something goes wrong. Ongoing updates as work happens, so the project never feels like something occurring somewhere else without you.

The clients who've built with other builders before tend to notice this most. The difference isn't the quality of the conversation. It's that you don't have to start one to know where things stand.

Parade of Homes opens soon, and this one's ready for visitors. Grab your tickets through the HBA of Grand Rapids website and come see it in person.

Monday through Thursday, 4 to 8 PM
Friday and Saturday, 1 to 8 PM

The details you feel before you notice them are the ones that took the longest to get right.

The trim that meets the ceiling without a gap. The hardware that sits flush because the cabinet was built to receive it, not retrofitted to accept it. The ceiling transition that moves between rooms without calling attention to itself. None of it announces what it is. All of it contributes to the feeling that the home was made rather than assembled.

That's the standard our team holds on every build. Not because clients ask for it by name, but because they feel it the moment they walk in.

The kitchen doesn't just support the gathering. In a well-designed home, it runs it.

The island is where everyone lands first, drinks in hand, before anyone's been told where to sit. The range is close enough to stay in the conversation while dinner is happening. The flow from kitchen to dining to living isn't an afterthought; it's the reason the evening works.

The homes that handle a crowd without feeling crowded were planned that way from the beginning, long before the first guest arrived. Hosting season just makes that visible.

The first fire of the season is its own kind of arrival. The light goes gold earlier, the days get quieter, and the house, if it was built right, starts doing exactly what it was designed for.

A great room that earns the fireplace, windows that hold the last of the evening light before it disappears, the kind of warmth that has nothing to do with the thermostat.

Fall doesn't ask much of a well-built home. It just reveals it.

A home you're in awe of. That's the standard we build to.

When Amy Lopez got her keys, she walked through and immediately noticed it — the seamless trim work, the custom finishes, the details that don't happen by accident. It's the kind of craftsmanship you feel before you can even explain why.

When clients step into a finished home, the hours of work behind it are invisible. What they can feel is the result: a home that's beautifully, unmistakably finished.

Architects, designers, and craftsmen, all working as one team and coordinated through a single point of contact. You make one call, and everyone already knows your home, your selections, and where things stand.

Most of the stress in a custom build doesn't come from the big decisions. It comes from the gaps between them. The update that didn't happen. The question that went to the wrong person. When the team is fragmented, those gaps multiply.

An in-house team means there are fewer gaps, fewer handoffs, and just one team responsible for the outcome.

Custom homes and renovations built to last a lifetime. Engelsma Homes has 23 years of experience put into every detail of your dream home.
