01 / Our Story
Built on Experience.
Founded on Integrity.
Mike Courtney · Founder of Castell Custom Homes
With over 30 years of experience in residential construction, the founder of Castell Custom Homes, Mike Courtney, has built more than exceptional residences—he has built a reputation grounded in integrity, craftsmanship, and lasting relationships.
Throughout his career, he has cultivated a trusted network of architects, engineers, designers, skilled tradespeople, and suppliers who share his commitment to excellence. These relationships, developed over decades and founded on honesty, integrity, and mutual respect, are the foundation of every Castell home.
At Castell Custom Homes, the belief is simple: exceptional homes begin with exceptional relationships. Open communication, clearly defined expectations, and an unwavering commitment to quality create a building experience founded on trust and collaboration.
Inspired by the meaning behind its name, Castell represents strength, security, unity, and protection. Much like a fortress provides shelter within its walls, a Castell home is designed to offer lasting comfort, a sense of belonging, and a place where families can build their lives for generations.
With the steadfast support of his family and three decades of experience behind him, the founder established Castell Custom Homes to bring a personal vision to life—creating extraordinary homes while honoring the values and relationships that make them possible.

Custom Homes02 / The Meaning Behind the Name
The Meaning
Behind Castell
- Strength
- Security
- Unity
- Protection
A name inspired by the enduring symbolism of a fortress—a place of strength, shelter, and protection for those within its walls. At Castell Custom Homes, these principles extend beyond construction. They represent our responsibility to the families who place their trust in us, our commitment to lasting craftsmanship, and our belief that a truly exceptional home should provide both beauty and peace of mind.
