Mike Wallman built his reputation as a top-notch mechanical contractor over the past 30 years while working for Rochester area builders.

From his years of experience working in new homes, Mike simply said, "I can build a better house."

Few builders offer affordable, smaller homes with flexible spaces that fit the needs of first-time buyers or empty nesters.

One area that Mike identified as critical to being able to build affordable, quality homes was the efficiency of the building process itself. For this he turned to his wife, Melody, who brings to Wallman Homes her expertise gathered over 20 years as a senior manager in manufacturing. Safety, an efficient process, and customer needs are crucial to their detail-oriented process which pays off with ultimate savings by avoiding errors and ensuring consistent quality.

Mike and Melody start with a very personal customer/builder relationship, gather ideas from the customer, sketch a plan and a rough front elevation, and then do a cost estimate. If this fits the customer's goal, they develop final plans and cost. Because of the Wallmans' emphasis on quality products, there are few upgrades, and homes finish at their original quoted price.

Mike has earned a reputation as a "perfectionist." The same standards Mike applies to his own work also apply to the subcontractors who work with Wallman Homes. Mike takes pride in every home he builds and feels that each homeowner deserves the highest quality of workmanship.

Melody provides invaluable assistance during the planning and finish selection process. She makes sure that the buyers understand the plan, and that the details and finishes will meet their expectations. That relationship continues right on through the closing. Wallman Homes has a strong relationship with local banks that offer exceptional mortgage programs and new home construction loans. Melody is proud that Wallman Homes' closings go so smoothly and buyers even enjoy the process of closing on their new home.

Mike and Melody Wallman love to build houses and they proudly build quality homes that people can afford.
