They say behind every great company is someone with a dream… and probably a few sleepless nights, a whole lot of coffee, and the stubborn determination to keep going when everyone else might have called it a day.

For Antero Tarvudd, that dream became Tarvudd Construction—not overnight, and certainly not without a few bumps along the way, but through years of hard work, perseverance, vision, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

What started as a dream has grown into something much bigger: beautiful homes, lasting relationships, a talented team, and a legacy of craftsmanship throughout Northern Michigan.

Today, we celebrate the guy behind it all—and a pretty big milestone!

BIG Happy 50th Birthday to Antero Tarvudd!

Here’s to 50 years of dreaming big, working hard, building with intention…and proving that a little stubbornness can actually take you pretty far. 🎉

Grateful for the People Behind Every Home We Build

There’s something special about spending a beautiful Northern Michigan afternoon with the clients who have become such an important part of the Tarvudd Construction story.

Our Client Appreciation Sail was more than a day on the water—it was an opportunity to simply say thank you and spend time with the clients, friends, partners, and families who have trusted and supported us over the years.

At Tarvudd Construction, we believe the relationships we build are every bit as important as the homes we create. Being trusted with something as personal and meaningful as your home is a privilege we never take for granted. And to us, that relationship doesn't end when construction is complete—you remain part of the Tarvudd Construction family.

To everyone who joined us, and to all of our clients past and present, thank you for your trust, your friendship, your referrals, and your continued support. We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of our story and appreciate you more than you know.

Here's to lasting relationships, great memories, and many more years together.

We Build with Intention—creating exceptional homes, lasting relationships, and a legacy for generations.

Wait until you see the inside of this new addition! 🤩
​We recently added a brand-new garage for this project and completely busted through an upstairs bedroom to build out this massive, beautiful space above it. From the custom wood paneling and stone fireplace to the brand-new bathroom and laundry room, this space turned out perfectly. Huge shoutout to the crew for bringing this vision to life!
