Our Story
Established in 2012, Gulfwind Homes was founded with a simple mission: to create thoughtfully designed, finely crafted homes that stand the test of time. Today, we specialize in luxury custom and coastal homes built on your lot, delivering a personalized building experience rooted in quality, transparency, and attention to detail.
At the helm is Manager Michael Willenbacher, who has been building homes in the Tampa area for over 30 years. Driven by a passion for excellence, Michael founded Gulfwind Homes with a trusted network of industry experts who share his commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and integrity.
What began as a local builder has grown into a trusted name throughout the Tampa Bay area. Over the years, we have developed and built numerous communities, and our commitment remains the same—creating homes that reflect the people who live in them and the coastal communities we’re proud to serve.
From the beginning, we set out to build more than just houses—we build lasting relationships. Every project starts with listening: to your goals, your lifestyle, and your vision for home.
With more than a decade of experience and a portfolio of successful communities, we’ve refined a proven, collaborative process—guiding you with honesty and clarity while prioritizing thoughtful planning, transparent communication, and proactive cost management.
As we’ve grown, our values have never changed. Each home is approached with care, intention, and a deep respect for your investment. Whether you’re building a luxury custom home on your lot or a coastal retreat, we are dedicated to delivering a finished product we’re proud to stand behind—and a building experience you can feel confident in from start to finish.
