About Carmel Homes
A division of DMP Corp, License #730204
Carmel Homes is a family-owned new home developer and builder with deep roots in the community we proudly serve. Founded in 2000 by Michael, the company was built on a simple belief: homes should be thoughtfully designed, expertly built, and created with the people who will live in them in mind.
What began as one man’s vision has grown into a multi-generational family business. Today, Michael works alongside his son, Phillip, continuing a legacy shaped by more than 30 years of hands-on experience, integrity, and pride in craftsmanship.
Born and raised in the same town where we build, Carmel isn’t just where we work—it’s home. That connection influences every decision we make, from neighborhood planning to architectural details. We design each and every home as if we were going to live in it ourselves, focusing on livability, quality materials, and timeless design.
With more than 20 completed subdivisions, Carmel Homes has earned a reputation for responsible development and homes built to last. For us, this is more than a business— it’s a shared effort amongst our team, our partners, and homeowners in creating places where families can put down roots, grow, and build lasting memories.
Our Logo Story
The Carmel Homes logo was inspired during a bike ride along the Carmel coastline near the Lone Cypress overlooking the Pacific. Drawn to the strength, beauty, and resilience of the Cypress tree, it became a natural symbol for our brand—rooted, enduring, and unmistakably Carmel—reflecting the same values we bring to every home we build.
