The History

Lansing Custom Homes got its start when Francis Garrett returned to Lansing, Iowa in 1990 to start up his own business: Lansing Homes. In 2000, he sold Lansing Homes to his son Matt Garrett and Dean Reiser. During this time, Matt and Dean brought in modular homes - a change that would evolve the business tremendously. In 2022, Dean and his wife, Deneen became the sole owners of Lansing Homes, changed the name to Lansing Custom Homes and moved to a new location! It has been an exciting shift for all involved.
