Lilac Homes: Crafting Custom Homes with Generations of Expertise in Barrie and Simcoe County
When it comes to building a home that reflects your lifestyle, personality, and dreams, experience and dedication matter. Lilac Homes Inc., a premier custom and model home builder in Barrie, Ontario, offers just that — a legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and personalized service that spans over three decades. Serving Barrie and cities across Simcoe County, Lilac Homes has earned a reputation for creating distinctive, one-of-a-kind homes that stand the test of time.
Our Origins: A Legacy Built on Dedication and Expertise
Lilac Homes began as Robert Fumo Construction Limited, founded by Robert Fumo, a respected builder with over 35 years of experience. Robert was a long-time resident of the Barrie area, dedicating more than 50 years to mastering his craft in both residential and commercial construction. His journey in the industry included everything from new home construction to property investment in Barrie, Collingwood, and the surrounding regions.
In 2000, Robert’s son Chris joined the business, bringing a unique combination of building knowledge and expertise in computing. This blend of skills allowed the company to embrace innovative construction techniques and design technologies while maintaining the traditional values of quality, integrity, and client-focused service.
By 2016, R. Fumo Homes evolved into what we know today as Lilac Homes Inc. This transition marked not just a change in name, but a continued commitment to excellence, modern design, and custom home building that respects both heritage and innovation.
