Esser Builders IIThe windows were not installed to the Michigan building code regulations. The building inspector came out and verified it. Jason from Turn Key wouldn’t correct the problem.

Mike provided quality work, visited and inspected work onsite as our home was being built almost daily. Addressed questions promptly, assisted us in making decisions with selections, easy to get ahold of, genuinely cared about customer satisfaction. His crew was always polite and respectful....
I can not say enough good things about the job they did. Michael came out, took a look at the project and designed the deck and stairs from the deck into an area of the yard that I wanted to fence in. After all the plans were made, the township building inspector would not issue a building...
I think as he doesnt have an architect on staff, that he should invest in a design software package that would remind him to include light switches, clearance between cabinets and appliances etc. I was very pleased with the quality of the work. Mike and his crew were very nice, willing to...
I started using Jon Long with another builder, and when I had additional jobs, chose to use him by himself. He is very hard working, responsive, detail oriented, and helpful. I will use him should I have additional projects. My neighbors have complimented many of his projects.

"Wolverine Contracting Design + Remodel provided us with exceptional craftsmanship for our renovation. They weren’t our cheapest option but their unique cost-plus process of contracting, clear & transparent labor rates and discounts saved us thousands on our projects. We have never seen a company operate in this manner, but it just made complete sense to us, and it works extremely well. Along the way we were a bit indecisive and made a few changes which added work to the original scope, increased our budget and timeline, however Douglas immediately shifted into another gear and was able to incorporate our changes within the original design. He is extremely honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable of his trade. His communication skills and integrity were second to none. I don’t know how he handles all the stress, but he makes it look easy. All team members and subcontractors were respectful of us and our home and a pleasure to work with as well. We highly recommend Wolverine Contracting and will be contacting them for any future projects."

Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.

The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical.
