Home Remodeler and General Contractor in DeWitt, MI

Q: Do you handle permits in DeWitt?

Yes. DeWitt falls under Clinton County jurisdiction, entirely separate from Ingham County and the City of Lansing. We manage every permit application and inspection on your behalf so you never have to navigate that process yourself.

Q: What types of homes do you remodel in DeWitt?

The full range: older historic properties near downtown DeWitt, 1970s and 1980s ranches throughout the area, and newer subdivision builds in Granger Meadows. The structural and plumbing realities vary significantly between these eras, and we assess them before any design is finalized.

Q: How does pricing work?

We provide a fixed-price proposal covering design, materials, and labor before anything is signed. What we quote is what you pay, with no vague allowances or surprise costs added mid-project.

Q: Do you offer financing?

Yes. We work with financing partners to make larger projects accessible and walk you through all options during your initial consultation.

Q: What does your Lifetime Guarantee cover?

It covers our craftsmanship and installation for as long as you own your home. If anything fails because of our work, we fix it at no cost to you.

DeWitt attracts a specific kind of homeowner: family-oriented, school-district-conscious, drawn to the natural setting along the Looking Glass River and the community feel that the city has built over decades. These are homeowners who plan to stay, which means when they remodel, they’re investing in quality rather than cosmetics. As the area's top home remodeling company, Custom Built has served Clinton County homeowners for over 20 years, and we understand what the DeWitt market looks like: the subdivision builds near DeWitt Public Schools, the older properties near downtown, the river-adjacent lots that make outdoor living projects some of our most compelling work in the region. Call us today at 517-881-9871 to schedule your design consultation.

Deck Design & Construction

DeWitt's river-adjacent properties along the Looking Glass River and the park-adjacent lots near Padgett Park and Granger Meadows create some of the most compelling backyard settings in the Greater Lansing area. Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles are just as hard on pressure-treated wood here as anywhere in Mid-Michigan, and most decks more than a dozen years old are well past their prime. We custom decks throughout DeWitt designed to honor the natural setting and built to last through Michigan winters.

Our team handles everything from full composite deck installations to premium cedar construction. Whether you're building a river-view deck along the Looking Glass corridor or replacing aging boards in a Granger Meadows subdivision, we manage all Clinton County engineering and permitting requirements. Every composite deck comes with our Lifetime Guarantee, making it the last deck your home will ever need.

Kitchen Renovation & Functional Redesign

DeWitt’s homeowners stay, and families that stay invest in kitchens that work for real, daily life. The builder-grade kitchens in newer subdivision homes near DeWitt Public Schools are functionally adequate and aesthetically dated within a few years. The older properties near downtown DeWitt have layouts that were never designed for the way households actually cook and gather today. The renovation approach is different for each, and we design both from scratch rather than applying a standard template.

Our kitchen remodeling services focus on improving layout, flow, and storage so the space works better day to day. We help homeowners open up kitchens, add islands, and select durable materials that hold up over time. Clinton County permits are managed by our team from application through final inspection.

Bathroom Remodeling & Primary Suite Renovations

The diversity of DeWitt’s housing, from older historic properties near downtown to 1970s and 1980s ranches to newer subdivision builds in Granger Meadows, means bathroom remodeling here looks different depending on which era the home comes from. We assess the existing plumbing configuration and structural conditions before any design is finalized, which means the scope we hand you reflects what the renovation actually requires, not an optimistic version of it.

From reworking tight layouts to improve function, to upgrading aging plumbing systems, ventilation, and waterproofing, we tailor each project to how the space is actually used. That can mean expanding a small footprint, improving lighting and storage, or updating finishes that hold up to daily wear. Every project is managed through Clinton County inspections under one contract.

River-View Sunrooms & Year-Round Room Additions

Homeowners in DeWitt come to us when they want to enjoy their surroundings without being limited by the seasons, whether that’s a backyard along the Looking Glass River, a lot near Padgett Park, or a more private wooded setting. We design and build four-season rooms that are comfortable year-round, with proper insulation, high-performance windows, and structural work that’s built for Michigan’s climate. We also help homeowners rework adjacent spaces, improve access with new door openings, and ensure the sunroom addition connects naturally to the home’s layout.

Our team handles everything from foundation and framing to finish work, so the new space feels intentional, not like an add-on. Clinton County permits and inspections are managed by our team from start to final sign-off.

Custom Home Additions for Your Family

DeWitt homeowners choose this community for the schools, the safety, and the natural setting, and they don't want to leave. A well-designed home addition gives families the square footage they need without giving up the DeWitt address that matters. Our clients throughout the Granger Meadows area and near Airport Road consistently invest in their current home rather than upsize and move.

Primary suite additions, rear family room extensions, and full footprint expansions are all managed from design through Clinton County permit sign-off under one contract, and every addition is matched to your home’s existing exterior so nothing reads as a retrofit.

Clinton County Jurisdiction: DeWitt falls under Clinton County, a completely different permitting authority from Ingham County and the City of Lansing. We manage every permit and inspection on your behalf through the correct local office.
