Home Remodeler and General Contractor in Lansing, MI

Q: Do you handle permits and inspections with the City of Lansing?

Yes. The City of Lansing has its own permitting office separate from surrounding townships like Bath, Delhi, and Meridian. We manage every permit application and inspection directly with the city, so you never have to navigate that process yourself.

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

Lansing's housing stock ranges from pre-1939 bungalows in Old Town to mid-century ranches on the Eastside and colonials throughout Colonial Village. We have extensive experience with the structural and mechanical realities of all of them, including lath-and-plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring concerns, and galvanized plumbing.

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.

Custom Deck Building

If you've lived in Mid-Michigan for a while, you know that a standard wood deck eventually becomes a liability. Between our intense freeze-thaw cycles and the inevitable rotting boards, most Lansing homeowners reach a point where they want a permanent solution. We work as a custom deck builder throughout the Capital Area to break that cycle for good.

Our team handles everything from full composite deck installations to premium cedar construction. If your current frame is still solid, we also specialize in deck remodeling for older homes in neighborhoods like Moores Park, replacing worn-out surfaces with modern low-maintenance boards. We manage all Ingham County engineering and City of Lansing permits, so you never have to worry about the details. Every composite deck comes with our Lifetime Guarantee, making it the last deck your home will ever need.

Kitchen Remodeling & Design

Most Lansing kitchens weren't built for the way people actually live and host today. Whether you're dealing with a cramped galley in a historic Old Town bungalow or a closed-off layout in a Moores Park ranch that makes entertaining feel impossible, an outdated kitchen holds the whole home back. We help homeowners across the Capital Area fix these issues with smart engineering and high-end design.

Our team manages the entire renovation from initial floor plan to final cabinet handle, specializing in open-concept reconfigurations that connect Lansing's older kitchens to the rest of the home. Whether you need a full kitchen remodel with luxury quartz countertops or a targeted update in a newer build, our team handles every detail and manages City of Lansing permits from start to finish.

Bathroom Renovations & Luxury Rebuilds

An outdated bathroom is something Lansing homeowners learn to live with, until they finally decide they're done with it. For the pre-1970 homes throughout the Westside and Eastside, that often means original cast iron tubs, galvanized supply lines that have never been replaced, and tile work patched one too many times. We specialize in bathroom remodeling for homeowners who are ready to stop patching and invest in something built to last.

From custom walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions to complete stud-up rebuilds, our team manages the entire process. We understand the plumbing quirks of the Capital Area's older housing stock, ensuring your new bathroom functions as beautifully as it looks.

Sunroom Construction and Seasonal Room Additions

Some of the best rooms in a home are the ones added after the fact. Sunroom additions are a popular investment for Lansing homeowners in established neighborhoods like Colonial Village and Groesbeck, where mature trees and generous lots make outdoor-facing living spaces genuinely appealing year-round.

In Michigan's climate, a standard sunroom isn't enough. We specialize in four-season rooms built for year-round living and screen rooms for summer evenings, handling every detail from City of Lansing permits and engineering to final construction so the finished space feels like it was always part of your original home.

Custom Home Additions

For Lansing homeowners who've outgrown their current footprint, moving isn't always the answer. In neighborhoods like Moores Park and Colonial Village, a well-designed home addition is often the smarter investment, giving you the square footage you need while keeping the neighborhood, the mature trees, and everything else that made you choose Lansing in the first place.

From family room extensions to full rear-yard buildouts, we manage design, City of Lansing permitting, and construction under one contract. Every addition is built to complement your home's existing architecture so the finished result feels planned, not pieced together.
