"This is the second time we’ve used Nick and his crew for flooring. Nick was very flexible from the start. My wife and I both work full time and we have young school aged kids so meeting with a contractor during regular business hours was nearly impossible to accomplish. On several occasions before we even officially began the project, Nick came over late after the kids were already in bed to discuss our plans and ideas for what we wanted done and to offer his opinions. We have always been impressed with Nick that he is not pushy or overly “salesy”, we definitely did not feel pressured to start the project until we were ready and convinced it was what we wanted to do. We had about 1,000 sq ft of flooring replaced this time around and it was very nice knowing that Nick and his crew were very conscious about the fact that we have young children and treated our house like their own and made sure there was nothing left that they could have injured themselves on. Heck, they even let our dog out and played with him a little bit each day because he’s not normally in his crate all day. The floors came out beautifully, we are so happy with the finished results. While it was not a cheap project, I believe the labor charged on top of the materials was very fair. I would highly recommend anyone use Nick’s Tile and More because you can truly tell they take pride in their work and care about the customer more than the paycheck."

"48Jewel Construction and remodeling had to gut and redo my fathers entire bathroom.  The floor was rotted out due to poor seal on the toilet and over years of not being fixed.  They put a sub flooring down and a new tiles down.  They also installed all new plumbing, fixtures and tub, toilet and sink finishing with fresh paint and new lighting.  What a wonderful job they did.  My father was very pleased with the work.
"
Jewel construction gutted two existing bathrooms Dow to the studs and plumbed the complete back section of the home with new waste lines and supply lines. Continued to do the same with electrical and heating and cooling.. After all tough work was completed we boarded the room and finished it with beautiful wains coating tile and rain heads and steam generator in the shower.

"I originally consulted Angie's List to find someone to replace two old and decrepit gate post lights at my home. I decided to go with Lombardo Restoration when I noticed the coupon to replace up to ten wall outlets for $349. My home was built in 1946 and has gone through numerous slap-dash facelifts which left many of the outlets painted over and virtually unusable, so I thought I'd take advantage of the offer. My first online contact with LR was very positive and reassuring, and when Len and his co-worker appeared at my home they both proved friendly, outgoing, and energetic. I quickly learned that these guys know their business and work hard to get a job done right. They went through the electrical work like a knife through butter. Nothing slowed them down. When I talked to Len about rebuilding the gate posts he stated that the job would be a little costly because it would be time consuming. But the cost he quoted me was far below what I expected, and I told him to go ahead. After they'd been at it for well over five hours I became a little concerned about cost, knowing what the hourly price for two workers could be, but when they were all finished after well over eight hours everything, including all the wall outlets, came to a mere $850.
Leonard's a big and friendly young guy who likes to talk, and I admit that upon first encountering him I thought he was primarily the salesman for LR. But I quickly learned that he knows his trades. Both he and his co-worker are highly skilled and motivated workers who are very familiar with older houses such as my own, presumably from years of experience working with homes in Detroit.
Leonard's business approach may be somewhat more informal than many other contractors, particularly those involved largely with insurance claims. There were no contracts to sign or itemized receipts. I'd tell him what I wanted, he'd give me a projected cost, and he'd make good on the estimated price. This is largely contrary to what homeowners are told they should do when dealing with contractors. But Lombardo Restoration has proven to me to be a skilled and trustworthy outfit. I'm willing to take Len at his word, because I believe that if he doesn't do the job completely to my satisfaction he'd take steps to fix it within a reasonable cost. I highly recommend this contractor.

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"They showed up early and asked if they could go ahead and get started.  They did my roof in one day.  They cleaned up extremely well.  They guaranteed their work.  Made sure all the nails were picked up.  Had put tarp all around the house.  Removed all lawn ornaments and put them all back when they are done.  Did all the extras not necessarily asked for - went the extra mile that we really appreciated.  Their crew was absolutely wonderful, cordial.  Any questions we had they answered.  Brian, the Sales Manager, came out everyday to keep watch.  The experience was fabulous.  The owner even came out to see how things were going.  They worked with our insurance company and went over the house with them.  It would be a wonderful world if all companies had this work ethic.  I recommended them to my neighbors and 3 of them hired them."

"Jamil and his team did such an outstanding job on my home. Jamil was very professional, prompt, and courteous throughout the process. These attributes crossed over to his team as well. They were respectful, detailed, and meticulous in the execution of the work. They followed up and apprised me of status throughout process. They painted my kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway. The job was finished in record time. I don't believe it took more than 10 hours. It was super-fast and the lines were cut with expert precision and detail. They cleaned up and left my home spic and span. I can highly recommend them an I will definitely call them again for an of my future projects."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Before starting home building, confirm which of the five Grosse Pointe municipalities your property is in, as each has distinct permit requirements and zoning rules. Check for historic district guidelines and independent neighborhood deed restrictions. Inspect your aging infrastructure for outdated sewer lines, lead pipes, and old wiring. Hire a licensed contractor to navigate these local codes and keep your project on track.

Helpful?

Many homeowners underestimate the administrative complexities of the five distinct municipalities in Grosse Pointe. Planning for home building requires extra time for variance hearings and neighbor scrutiny due to close lot spacing. You must account for hidden hazards in older homes, such as asbestos and outdated electrical systems. Always factor in the compressed MI construction season and poor clay soil drainage when scheduling your foundation work.

Helpful?

Poured concrete foundations withstand local freeze-thaw cycles far better than block. For exterior home building, brick provides excellent moisture resistance and matches the historic Grosse Pointe architecture. Use closed-cell spray foam insulation in basements and install double-pane windows with low-e coatings to meet MI energy codes. When repairing historic masonry, contractors must use soft mortar to prevent accelerated brick deterioration and spalling.

Helpful?

Completing home building upgrades dramatically enhances daily comfort in older Grosse Pointe properties. Upgrading outdated electrical panels and sewer lines eliminates serious safety hazards and basement flooding risks. Adding modern insulation and energy-efficient windows provides year-round climate control against freezing winters and humid summers. Waterproofing your basement and building new outdoor living spaces will maximize your usable square footage and increase your property value.

Helpful?

The local climate creates a short six-month window for exterior home building. Intense freeze-thaw cycles dictate that contractors must pour concrete foundations to meet the 42-inch MI frost depth requirement. Proximity to Lake St. Clair brings elevated humidity and lake-effect moisture, which accelerates wood rot and masonry damage. Install proper flashing, ventilation, and moisture barriers to protect your structure from heavy winter snow and humid summer heat.
