Our Story  ·  Est. Lansdowne, PA

Built on
relationships.

Milestone Luxury Construction was founded on a belief that the custom build and renovation experience could — and should — be fundamentally different. More personal. More transparent. More worthy of the homes we create.

Story
The Milestone story.
2004
Year Founded

"We started Milestone because we believed clients deserved better — better communication, better craftsmanship, better results."

Milestone Luxury Construction was born from a simple frustration: the custom home and renovation industry was failing its clients. Projects ran over schedule. Budgets ballooned with surprise change orders. Builders disappeared after signing the contract. Clients felt left in the dark at every turn.

We set out to build something different. A company where the client relationship is treated as the most valuable asset — not just a transaction. Where every subcontractor is vetted to our standards, not the lowest bid. Where a call is returned the same day. Where the keys we hand over represent genuine pride in what was built.

Based in Lansdowne and serving the greater Philadelphia area, we've spent over two decades refining our process, deepening our trade partnerships, and building a reputation that brings most of our new clients through referrals from past ones. That, more than anything, is the Milestone standard.

Precision

Details matter. Every measurement, every material, every finish is executed to exacting standards.

Elegance

Beauty is never an afterthought. We partner with designers who understand that form and function are inseparable.

Legacy

We build homes meant to stand for generations — not just pass an inspection.

The People

The team
behind the work.

Milestone is built on expertise and trust. Every person on our team — from principals to tradespeople — is chosen for one reason: they are the best at what they do, and they care about the people they do it for.

Michael Longshore
Founder & Principal

With over 20 years building luxury homes and high-end renovations across the greater Philadelphia area, Michael founded Milestone on the conviction that clients deserved a fundamentally better experience. His reputation for transparency and follow-through has made him one of the most referred builders in Delaware County.

"There has to be a better way to do this. Milestone exists because we found it."

Co-Founder & Build Director

Brian oversees every active project from groundbreaking to handover. His background in structural engineering and hands-on construction management means that nothing leaves a Milestone job site unless it meets the standard he'd accept in his own home. Clients describe him as the most organized contractor they've ever worked with.

"I just want to build great homes. That's everything."

Our History

How we got here.

2004
Milestone is Founded

Launched in Lansdowne, PA with a simple mission: build extraordinary homes with a level of personal service the industry had forgotten about. First project completed on time and under budget.

2008
Expanding Across Delaware County

Word-of-mouth referrals drive rapid growth across Havertown, Bryn Mawr, and the Main Line. We formalize our design-build offering, bringing architect partnerships in-house for the first time.

2013
First $2M+ Custom Build Delivered

Completed our first large-scale estate project in Newtown Square — a 6,200 sq ft traditional manor that becomes our portfolio flagship and earns our first regional builder recognition.

2017
Premium Renovations Division Launched

Formalized our renovation offering to match demand from existing clients. Developed our occupied-home protocol — the system that lets us transform homes while families continue living in them.

2021
50th Project Completed

Reached the milestone of 50 completed projects — with a client satisfaction record we're genuinely proud of. Over 80% of new clients continue to come through referrals from previous ones.

Today
Still Building. Still Personal.

Over two decades in, we remain a boutique operation by design. We take on a select number of projects each year because we believe in giving each one the attention it deserves. That will never change.

Our Belief

"The best form of advertising is a job well done and a client who can't stop talking about it."

What Clients Say

"From the first call to the final walkthrough, Milestone treated our home like it was their own. The level of care and craftsmanship is unlike anything I'd seen from other builders."

James & Lauren Whitfield
Custom Build · Havertown, PA

"We had a complicated renovation — occupied throughout. Milestone's team was professional, communicative, and tidy every single day. The finished result is stunning. They've earned a client for life."

Dr. Michael & Anne Reyes
Full Home Renovation · Bryn Mawr, PA

"I'm a designer by trade, so I'm not easily impressed. Milestone not only met my expectations — they exceeded them in every sense. Their attention to detail is extraordinary."

Patricia Connolly
Custom Build · Wayne, PA

"After interviewing six contractors, Milestone was the only team that came to our first meeting asking questions instead of handing us a brochure. That told us everything we needed to know."
