UNION VILLAGE GUILD
Inspired by the historic architecture found throughout the region, Union Village design code insures that the design of the buildings and homes meet the highest standards of the craftsmanship and design. A former site of one of the largest Shaker Villages in Ohio, the Union Village Architecture will capture a simpler time of understated elegance inspired by the Shaker craftsmanship and design of their buildings and furniture.
This mission of craftsmanship and detail led us to forming the Union Village Builders’ Guild. A selected group of builders, designers and craftspeople that believe in the same vision we do… a vision of creating a place of craftsmanship and design that will stand the test of time.

The J&K story began when Michelle and her husband built a custom home for her family and recognized a need and opportunity to make the custom building process better for homeowners.
“Building a custom home is very personal,” says Michelle. ‘We wanted to gather a group of service-minded professionals- with extensive experience-so we could manage every step of the process and together create a wonderful home and have fun doing it.”
Jim McVicker, Michelle’s father, saw the same opportunity. After several discussion, they decided to set out on the journey together. From there, J&K Custom Homes was born (J&K stands for Jim and Kathleen “Michelle”).
After retiring from over 30 years in the executive corporate finance arena at a Fortune 500 company, Jim has applied his expertise to the management and operational standards of the company we see today.
Michelle has extensive knowledge of the design and construction process and as someone who built her own home, knows how to make the many decisions along the way. Michelle uses her financial and accounting as well as her consulting and project management background to guide new homeowners through the process, on-time and within budget.
