"DeWeese & Associates have been flawless. Brett DeWeese came to our home for the quote and he was very professional and had an answer to all of my questions! The customer service is outstanding. Brett has kept me informed every step of the way for our bathroom refresh (x2) and basement renovation (from ceiling to floors). Amazing team and I have already recommended them to my family."

"We worked with Rufino to update the bathrooms and closets in our home master bath/closet and two upstairs bathrooms and closets. He is a True Professional in many ways. He worked with my husband and me to create a modern design that encompassed our ideas. He introduced us to options that are more current in design as well. He created 3D images of our proposed master bathroom and custom closet using our material choices. These images were incredibly helpful in understanding what the finished rooms would look like. His calm demeanor put me at ease with the project and took away my reservations of having our home renovated. Also, having workers in your home can be stressful and Rufino completed the work in the time proposed! Most importantly, I feel Rufino is very trustworthy and was very accessible to me during the project - answering my questions and communicating the next steps in the work being done via cell, text and email. Our bathrooms and closets were finished with detailed workmanship and expert service. He worked hard to make sure we were totally satisfied. They look simply AMAZING. We look forward to more projects with Rufino and Labra Design Build!"

"It was perfect. I hired Roger because I trusted him. His company did work for me in 2013 and I was very pleased then. I am even more pleased now! I thought I needed to replace the siding all the way around my house (it's 40 years old). A neighbor painted his and, while it looked okay, the painting was so expensive that I thought I'd see if there was an in-between solution. Roger said he could replace just the south side (first and second floor) and match the existing front and back. I got home tonight and the work is PERFECT. The south side (attached garage on lower level, my office and a bedroom on upper level) have new siding that perfectly matches the 40-year-old stuff AND everything looks new. They did a wonderful job sealing up everything tightly and I couldn't be more pleased. Roger visited this house twice to look at the work as the job specs changed (I kept asking questions and I had some brick work done in between). He was on time, charged a fair price, and confirmed last week that he would be here today. I didn't call or expect a call yesterday, and I had an early appointment at a client's place this morning. Roger called me first thing to say his crew was at my house and he was heading over to check on things. We talked about the job and he informed me that my office window had some messy caulk - he cleaned it up and made sure it was sealed tight for winter. I would hire this company to do any sort of remodeling work and I'm thrilled."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Choose durable materials designed to withstand harsh MI winters during home building. Pour foundations using concrete with at least 4,000 psi and air entrainment to resist freeze-thaw damage. Install fiber cement siding or brick veneer for exterior protection. You must use ice and water shield underlayment on roofs to prevent ice dams. Install high-value insulation and triple-pane windows to meet strict state energy codes.

Helpful?

Your home's original layout dictates how complicated home building will be. Older ranch homes built on concrete slabs make adding new plumbing extremely difficult. If you own a sloped walkout basement in Brighton, hidden load-bearing walls require careful structural planning. Homes near local lakes sit on unstable ground or pier foundations, which demand extensive structural modifications before adding new rooms or heavy loads.

Helpful?

A major mistake during home building is skipping local permits or ignoring wetland setbacks. Many MI properties sit near protected wetlands, requiring strict building buffers. Homeowners also overlook the mandatory 42-inch frost depth for foundations, which causes significant delays. Always test your soil before building to avoid structural settling. Finally, secure both municipal permits and homeowner association approvals before starting any exterior work.

Helpful?

Brighton experiences extreme seasonal shifts that heavily influence home building. You must dig foundations at least 42 inches deep to prevent frost heave during freezing winters. Heavy snowfall requires specific roof pitch designs. Spring snowmelt and rain create saturated soils, which complicate excavation and demand robust basement waterproofing. Plan your structural work between April and October to avoid severe winter weather delays.

Helpful?

As homes age in Brighton, home building shifts toward modernizing outdated systems. Properties built in the 1960s require electrical service upgrades and new insulation. Homes from the 1980s need energy retrofits and plumbing replacements. Any significant renovation in an older property will trigger current building code requirements. A local professional will ensure your structural, electrical, and mechanical systems meet modern safety standards.
