As a home owner, how can I believe the promises made by the employees of Elkow Homes?

The Heights of Elkow Farms is named as such because the Elkow Homes team is building homes on the land in which lived and worked as children. The subdivision is located on the “farm” where the “boys” grew up spending their days working with “Pops”. The pride, work ethic, and focus on quality that was instilled in them as children on the farm continues with them today as adults and as owners of Elkow Homes.

While the Pops still lives on the farm in South Lyon, the boys have grown up and started families of their own. They may no longer live with Pops but they do still work on the farm and Pops keeps a close watch. Taking pride in your family, home, and work is the Elkow tradition.
