Meet the builders

Joe Lomangino

Joe Lomangino brings 15 years of hands-on experience building and renovating homes. Joe is the boots on the ground and will manage the construction process from demolition to final punchout. He provides our clients with efficient project management and on the ground, real time, solutions that every project needs.

  • Joe Lomangino has been in the home building industry for 15 years. After learning the basics of carpentry from his uncle as a teenager, Joe quickly realized his passion for building. After attending University of Maryland he became a draftsman designing custom homes for a local builder and worked as a project manager for a national home improvement company before venturing off to start on his own.

    Joe founded his own construction company in Maryland in 2012 and quickly began earning recognition for completing over twenty-five complex custom homes and historical restorations. In 2015, Joe joined Hogan Companies, a Maryland based land development, brokerage and construction firm, as Vice President of Construction. In 2018, Joe expanded his construction experience into Northern Virginia with M-R Custom Homes where he managed high-end custom builds and whole home renovations, completing over 100 home builds and developing a deep knowledge of the Northern Virginia home building market.

    In May 2022, Joe and Justin teamed up to create Elevation Homes to focus on truly custom builds and whole home renovations.
