Mike Cusack is a second-generation luxury home builder and general contractor with more than 30 years of experience in the homebuilding industry — and over 15 years building under the Mike Cusack Homes name. He built homes in Tennessee alongside his father before bringing that craft and dedication to the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Mike Cusack Homes was awarded the Living Magazine "Home of the Year" in 2008 for a Santé Fe style home, and again in 2012 for the major remodel of a Ranch style home in Ennis, Texas. As a small firm overseeing just 4–5 projects per year, every client receives Mike's personal attention from first conversation to final walkthrough.
The firm specializes in green-built luxury homes and remodels, as well as Craftsman, Old World, Traditional, French Country, and Tudor styles. Mike's philosophy: what goes under the ground is just as important as what goes on top. That commitment to invisible quality is what makes his homes stand apart — and stand the test of time.
Mike Cusack Owner & Master BuilderNo surprises. No confusion. We walk alongside you from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
We have an honest conversation about your investment and make a committed promise to deliver your home as designed — on budget. No last-minute surprises or upsells.
Creating a custom floor plan means you're involved at every step. We go through ideas, pictures, previous designs, and answer every question until the plan is perfect.
Quality isn't just in the finished product — it's visible every step of construction. From the foundation up, you'll see the craftsmanship before the walls go on.
A barndominium build is engineered with the same rigor as any custom home I put up — soil-tested, structurally engineered, and finished to the exact standard you'd expect from Mike Cusack Homes.
Barndominium builds cost less than traditional wood-frame construction — without cutting a single corner on quality.
Steel framing and a streamlined build process mean your home is completed in less time, so you move in sooner.
The inside of a barndominium I build looks just like any of my custom interior finish-outs. The sky is the limit.
Every barndominium I build starts with a soil test on the build site. Every slab is engineered according to the geotechnical report, and the structural engineer designs the foundation based on that report.
I prefer to use piers on every slab I build a house on. Piers are what's used to stabilize a foundation when problems occur — so I build that strength in from day one.
"It's cheaper to do it right the first time."
— Mike Cusack"Let's just say that if you are looking for a really nice custom built home then there is no need to look further. The quality of home that Mike builds is second to none. Thanks Mike."
"Mike Cusack Homes, and Mike Cusack is a great company and I can highly recommend him to anyone looking to build or remodel a home. Mike is unselfish, helpful and a great source of information."
"We cannot say enough good things about Mike Cusack and we are so glad God provided him to be our builder. Mike met with us and with Steve, the architect, on the lot for the house even before we had purchased it. From the beginning he held our hands as we navigated getting the land plotted with the City of Dallas (not an easy process which took almost a year!) and then guided us to a Steve for the architectural drawings. He arranged multiple meetings with subcontractors to work out the details of the house. Mike is a second-generation home builder and general contractor with more than 30 years of experience. He built homes in Tennessee with his father before moving to Dallas, so he was unfazed by the large hill where we were planning on building our future home. It was clear from the first conversation that Mike knew what he was doing and could anticipate future problems that might arise with the complexity of building a house on the side of a hill. He was extremely patient with us as we worked through the legal process of platting in the City of Dallas. He was patient with us when we had to change the design of the house to make it work with our budget. He thought of every possible detail and his master budget was so detailed - it must have been over 8 pages of line items because he wanted to give us an accurate budget. Once we broke ground, he was pretty much at the house every day. He did a marvelous job supervising the subcontractors and made sure each contractor did the work to his exacting standards - which many times were far and above what we even expected of some of our subcontractors. If the work was not done right he made the contractors do it again properly. Probably the best example was the cabinets that were made for the house. We thought they looked fine when they were all finished but Mike noticed that several of the cabinets had small dents in the cabinet doors. We didn't think we had it in us to redo those cabinet doors but Mike said he couldn't live with himself if he did not get them fixed. He met with the cabinet maker and the painters and he had them remake over a hundred cabinet doors and then had the painter stain and finish them - all at his expense. I think there are very few builders that have this level of integrity because he takes pride in his work. From the beginning it was clear that Mike was competent but over the course of the past two and half years what struck out most to us was the level of integrity and desire to do the work right that typified Mike. Every time we met an obstacle with the build, Mike was already thinking up multiple options to fix the problem. My wife had always said that she did not have the bandwidth to live through a custom home build but Mike made this possible. We had looked at many homes to find one that would work for the unique needs of our family - mainly a place to raise up 10 children and homeschool them and we found that even though there were multiple large homes in Dallas - few are designed to accommodate the needs of a large family. In retrospect, this process would not have been possible without the incredible hard work and dedication of Mike and his team."
