Custom Decks and Outdoor Living
If you have lived in Michigan for a while, you know that a standard wood deck eventually becomes a liability. Between the constant staining and the inevitable rotting boards, most homeowners reach a point where they just want a permanent solution. We work as a custom deck builder to break that cycle.
Our team handles everything from full composite deck installations as a Trex Pro Platinum Builder to traditional wood deck construction using premium cedar. If your current frame is still solid, we also specialize in deck remodeling or re-decking to replace worn-out surfaces with modern low maintenance boards. We take care of the local engineering and permits for homeowners across the Greater Lansing area so you never have to worry about the details. Every composite deck comes with our Lifetime Guarantee so you can be confident we'll build an outdoor space that not only last but will be the last deck your home will ever need.
Review Spotlight: "Custom Built designed and built a new deck for me. They were great to work with and from start to finish were exceptional. The work crew arrived daily on time and worked hard non stop to finish. They were respectful of the property and cleaned up every day. I have had many crews over the years from other companies doing work, and these are by far the very best. I would hire them again for a project in a heartbeat." – Martha Jakubiak

Luxury Kitchen Remodeling and Design
Most kitchens were not built for the way people actually live and host today. If you are dealing with a cramped layout or a space that makes cooking feel like more work than it should be, you know exactly how frustrating an outdated kitchen can be. We work as a luxury kitchen remodeler to help homeowners across the Greater Lansing area fix these issues by focusing on both smart engineering and high-end design.
Our team manages the entire renovation from the initial floor plan to the final cabinet handle. We specialize in open concept reconfigurations that connect your kitchen to the rest of your home, along with custom cabinet design that solves your storage problems once and for all. Whether you need a full overhaul with granite or quartz countertops or a targeted update that modernizes the space, our team handles every detail of the process from start to finish. We build gourmet kitchens across Mid-Michigan that are designed to handle everything from busy Tuesday nights to large weekend gatherings.
Review Spotlight: "We recently worked with Sara at Custom Built, and had a great experience! We were working on a kitchen remodel, and she walked us through the Custom Built process and how smooth and easy they make the whole thing. They quote a total amount for the project, with all of their design, materials and hours within it for a standard project. Then you can, of course, upgrade if you want to, but they really focus on a one price, no stress experience." – Justine Bell

Bathroom Remodeling & Luxury Renovations
An outdated bathroom is one of those things you learn to live with until you finally decide you are done living with it. We specialize in bathroom remodeling and luxury renovations for homeowners across Mid-Michigan who are ready to stop patching the problem and invest in something built to last. From custom walk-in showers, tub to shower conversions, and high-end tile work to completely renovate and rebuild from the studs up, our bathroom remodeling services team manages the entire process so the finished space looks and functions exactly the way you imagined it.
Review Spotlight: "My experience with custom- built has been very good. Starting out with Cullen who , I felt, really tried to make sure that I knew exactly what to expect from the whole bathroom enlargement and renovation. It has taken longer than was originally expected because of supply chain issues and schedules. That is to be expected and Cullen made me aware! Tyler was also in communication with me and John stopped by weekly to make sure things were progressing forward. I love the look of my beautiful bathroom!!" – Linda Appicelli

Sunroom Construction and Seasonal Room Additions
More living space doesn't have to mean moving to a bigger house. As a trusted sunroom addition contractor serving Greater Lansing and Mid-Michigan, Custom Built designs and builds sunrooms and seasonal rooms that expand your home and extend the seasons you can enjoy. From screen rooms and patio enclosures to fully climate-controlled four season rooms, we manage the entire process so the finished space looks and functions exactly the way you imagined it.
