About Us
      

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, offering a personalized building experience rooted in quality, transparency, and attention to detail.

Led by Manager Michael Willenbacher—who brings over 30 years of homebuilding experience in the Tampa area—Gulfwind Homes was built on a foundation of expertise, integrity, and a trusted network of skilled professionals who share a commitment to craftsmanship.

What began as a local builder has grown into a respected name throughout Tampa Bay. Over the years, we’ve developed and built numerous communities, while staying focused on creating homes that reflect both the people who live in them and the coastal communities we serve.

We believe building a home is about more than construction—it’s about relationships. Every project begins with understanding your vision, lifestyle, and goals. Through a proven, collaborative process, we guide you with clear communication, thoughtful planning, and proactive cost management.

As we’ve grown, our values have remained constant. Every home is built with care, intention, and respect for your investment—delivering not just a home, but an experience you can trust from start to finish.
