- Dream

However, we recognize that our approach may not be what you are looking for. Dive deeper into our process here to ensure that it aligns with your dreams!
What Warranty Does Custom Built Provide for a Basement Finish?
An investment in a basement finish is a sizable one, so before you sign on the dotted line, you want to make sure that the basement remodeler you are working with provides you with a written copy of their warranty and so you can review it.
The good news is, at Custom Built, we feel so confident in our work, that we are the ONLY remodeling contractor in Lansing that will provide you with a “Lifetime Workmanship Warranty”.
Other remodeling companies typically offer a 12-36 month workmanship warranty — with normal use (i.e., the wear and tear of everyday life).
By hiring our team you are getting a reputable and experienced basement renovation contractor. This means you also get the added benefit of our vast knowledge about different materials and manufacturers, because each component, from floors, insulation, paint, faucets, and more carries its own product warranty.

What our clients are saying
"We worked with Custom Build for a few big projects in 2022-2023 including finishing our basement, redoing our deck and creating a patio/gazebo set up. We were incredible impressed with their professionalism, transparency and work product from start to finish. We were initially intimidated at the thought of approaching a project like this until we connected with Custom Built.
We recently had a home renovator friend of ours check out the space and she absolutely LOVED the work they did. She walked through and noted that the design was creatively and expertly done. She specifically said as she was walking through, 'This literally never happens, but I have no notes for improvement.'"
Aimee Klevorn
"I worked with Custom Built to renovate my basement, which included a partial kitchen, gym area, new carpet, paint, and sliding door. It was a pleasure working with everyone from this company. They were very professional, responsive, and wanted me to walk away happy. It wasn't just a job to them, it was building a relationship, a future, and maintaining value systems. I highly appreciated being able to trust this company and the work that they did. I really enjoyed working with Brian, Isabelle, Dave, and John. I look forward to future projects with them."
LeeAnn Aguwa
"Custom Built remodeled our basement, including installing an egress window. They did an amazing job in all aspects of the work: highly professional, easy to work with and amazing attention to details. I highly recommend this company."
Eric Benbow
"Custom Built turned an odd little unfinished chunk of basement into a really nice and useable kitchenette. I had no idea what would be needed to make this happen, and I can't be happier that I chose experienced people. I had help with design and skilled people to do the work. I hadn't realized that the job would require some 'de-construction' in adjacent rooms, and I was a bit shocked, but it was all fixed up like it never happened. We love the room they built!"
