Bryce and Whitney Rickman at their key turnover

“Gaspare went out of his way to help my family build a handicap accessible home for our son.”

The superintendent Mike is incredible and meticulous and ensures perfection. They made the process so much fun, from ground breaking ceremonies with champagne to move in ceremonies.

“Vitale treated us more like a friend than a customer!”

This is our third home building experience and by far this has been the most positive of the three.

“We knew that Vitale was going to be our builder.”

They made us feel as though we were their only customer, making themselves available any time of day at our convenience. They have made this process seamless from the very beginning.

We are genuinely happy with our new home from Vitale Homes. The finished product is beautiful, and the attention to detail in the design and construction is impressive. It's clear they pride themselves on using quality materials, and our house feels solid and luxurious, which makes the investment feel very much worthwhile. Part of our experience relates to the overall communication process. While communications on-site were appreciated, the coordination between us, the office staff, and the field team could sometimes feel a little fragmented, and with online updates and reviews held weekly, some patience and extra involvement was sometimes required. However, everyone involved is truly passionate about helping. A big plus for us is that they permit you access to the build site during construction, which enables you to catch concerns early and moreover give you ideas for changes before they become too costly. In that regard, all alteration negotiations’ were settled very fairly. Working with their designer Tonya was a new and welcoming experience for us, she insight was able to find our tastes and help us choose things we never would have considered otherwise – all with endless patience. Because of Tonya the house has more charm and elegance than it would have had otherwise. Our home was built on complicated property, the process would have tested the patience of anyone, but the Vitale team worked tirelessly with local and state agencies, the utility companies to overcome the challenges, they never let up. It was because of their tenacity in navigating all the red tape that we were able to keep our patience and excitement in check.

We loved working with Vitale because they helped our family from the planning stages to the final walkthrough. The building process can be overwhelming and confusing at times. The Vitale team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality truly helped us at every step. Communication was always clear and timely. Our new home is beautiful and the quality of work evident throughout. We are very grateful for their dedication and expertise and bringing our vision to life. I highly recommend Vitale. We couldn’t be happier with the result!

Although we were unable to locate the right property to forge ahead with Vitale New Homes, my wife and I were thoroughly impressed with Gaspare and his team. Leah was professional and responsive. Gaspare was a professional, a gentleman, and a patient guide. The quality of Vitale homes is extraordinary, with service to match. If we could have found the right property in our area, we would have built with Vitale New Homes. We are glad to share our highest compliments in regard to our experience with this team. Thank you, Gaspare and Leah. It is great to see outstanding quality and service in metro Detroit.

From beginning to end the Vitale team works with you to capture your dreams, your visions and put them into reality, their care and quality is second to none , they work diligently with the contractors to make sure not just the blue prints but also the home owners concerns are met during the process of the build. From Gaspare (the owner) to Leah, Fanita, Mike and our amazing interior designer Tonya and the rest of thier crew , we thank you for making this experience much less stressful than thought , the fears of stories most first time home builders express make it scary for most to engage in this journey but, Vitale Realestate and new Homes made this journey smooth and worry free. On behalf of the Kalaj’s we thank you and give a well deserved 5🌟

"My wife and I had a very good experience building our new home with Vitale Real Estate. From the sales team and architect to the designers and the owner, everyone was flexible, friendly, and truly first-class. What we valued most, however, was the post-completion support. They stayed by our side until every detail was perfect, often going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. We love our new home and highly recommend the Vitale team!"

Gaspare Vitale and his team were easy to work with. They made sure all my concerns were taken care of. Included in the team an interior decorator was provided. Tonya was extremely helpful when it came time for picking out the interior and exterior of my home. I am now in the process of moving in to my beautiful new home. I’m looking forward to my new adventure! Thank you to the Vitale Team for making my dream come true!

The team at Vitale Real Estate & New Homes made our dream home a reality. From the start, we had open and honest conversations about what we wanted, our budget and expectations and were met with a no-pressure proposal, design and development process that met our working style and needs. The entire team was very respectful of our time and opinions and it was nice to be able to interact with everyone – from Raul all the way up to the VP/COO, Brent, and President, Gaspare. The entire team had great, consistent communication with us throughout the entire process, and someone was always available to help answer or address our many questions along the way – this is not always the case with many builders. The trades we interacted with throughout the build and punch list process were respectful and their craftsmanship was top notch. That said, there was some secret sauce that really drew us in and made our experience outstanding. First, they offer the ability to not only help you procure land (if not building on a lot they already own), but they will list your existing home in alignment with the completion timing of your new build – a truly unique advantage that most builders don’t have and one that was a complete gamechanger for us. Working with Leah throughout the process was truly a blessing and she knocked each element of our real estate needs out of the park. Additionally, with the guidance of Vitale’s architectural designer, Rosalinda, we were able to tweak and perfect every square foot of our home to our liking. Working with her and their Designer, Tonya of Adamo Interiors, who guided us through the entire selections process, made everything flow seamlessly and ensured every detail was covered and to our liking. Mike was an invaluable asset to the build process as the field superintendent. He managed everything behind the curtain and ensured the quality and care was delivered in every detail – and when it came to the key turnover, it was very clear how much the trades respected him as he was getting his hands dirty to finish everything up on our new home. Finally, Dylan diligently and tirelessly helped us close out our complex punch list and ensured every concern and need was met to close out the process. Needless to say, we felt very involved, heard and respected throughout the duration of our build. If there is any advice we would give to those going through the process: Be patient – it definitely takes time for custom builds, remember you and Vitale are on the same team, and trust that the Vitale crew has your best interests in mind – they want to build a quality, beautiful home. The end product is worth the wait. We absolutely love our custom Vitale home and will cherish it and the experience of designing and building it for many years to come. Thank you to the entire team at Vitale for your time, talent and partnership in making our dream home a reality!

Our home is amazing, and we owe it all to Vitale Real Estate. They were so great to work with and really paid attention to the details. From the beautiful sign on the property, to the groundbreaking ceremony, to handing us the keys, it was a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to anyone.
