Charles Pistro, Owner & President

As the Owner and President of Pistro Builders LLC, Charles Pistro brings decades of hands-on experience, deep local roots, and a passion for craftsmanship to every project. Based in the Tri-City area of Michigan, Charles has earned a solid reputation as one of the region’s top custom home builders, helping shape neighborhoods one dream home at a time.


A Builder from the Ground Up

Charles first got his start in the construction world back in 1995 with General Housing Corporation. It didn’t take long for him to realize he had both the vision and the drive to start something of his own. By 2007, Charles launched Pistro Builders LLC with the goal of offering homeowners high-quality craftsmanship, transparency, and a genuinely enjoyable building experience. That foundation—built on skill, service, and trust—continues to guide the company today.


Over the years, Charles has led Pistro Builders into becoming one of the premier names in residential construction throughout Midland, Saginaw, and Bay Counties. The company has proudly participated in Parade of Homes events, earning recognition for exceptional design and construction. From initial concepts to final walkthroughs, Charles is committed to helping clients bring their dream homes to life—down to the last detail.


Areas of Expertise

Charles specializes in custom residential construction with a sharp eye for design. His approach blends timeless craftsmanship with modern function—always tailored to each client’s vision and lifestyle.


Pistro Builders LLC is known for:


  • Custom residential construction
  • Collaborative design-to-build planning
  • Quality materials and finishes
  • Strong communication from start to finish


With a deep understanding of what it takes to build homes that last, Charles remains hands-on with each project—so clients receive a result that reflects their expectations and his high standards.


Built on Experience, Backed by Community

Charles holds a bachelor’s degree from Saginaw Valley State University and has been rooted in the Tri-City area for decades. He’s also a proud member of the Home Builders Association of the Great Lakes Bay Region, reflecting his commitment to industry best practices and the local building community.


When He’s Not on the Job Site…

When he’s not walking a job site or meeting with clients, you’ll probably find Charles doing what he loves most: tailgating at Ferris football games, spending time in the great outdoors, or out on the water fishing. Hunting and fishing have always been a big part of his life—they’re how he unwinds and finds inspiration for the balance of structure and nature that shows up in his designs.


Charles also enjoys cruising through neighborhoods that Pistro Builders helped bring to life—it’s a rewarding way to reflect on the progress, the people, and the pride that goes into every home built.
