About Michael Touchette

Founder · Master Builder · Designer · Project Manager

Michael brings over 40 years of experience in design and construction to Black Mountain Design Build, shaped by a career dedicated to thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship.

At the core of his work is a simple belief: the people who build your home should be the ones who care deeply about how it’s designed, crafted, and finished.

Michael leads each project from concept through completion—developing the design, overseeing every detail of the build, and ensuring the final result reflects a consistent vision.
