"Rob the owner is a very detailed person. It shows in the custom cabinet fit and finish. Kraftwood Homes is a one stop custom cabinet manufacturer. We have used them for two custom kitchens and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product at a very fair and reasonable price. We continually get compliments on his cabinets we had installed. Good luck Kraftwood is a very good custom cabinet maker."

"We bought a house in an area we like, but we did not like the house, so much. We pretty much gutted the home. It was expensive, but it is the last home we will ever buy. Everything went great. The weather last winter was awful, and Ron and his crew kept our home warm, notified us of problems he encountered and promptly fixed them. He took about 4 feet of snow off our roof just because he is a great guy and didn't want us to have any leaks or ice dams. We took out a wall in the kitchen and that was completely redone and is stunning. Taking out that wall and expanding the kitchen was Ron's idea and we are so happy!! That was the best part of the entire remodel. He also came up with the idea of moving the laundry upstairs (where all the laundry is!). So, we moved laundry from a breezeway type area to converting upstairs 4th bedroom (didn't need) into two rooms--a laundry and extra bath. Existing upstairs bath converted to en suite with a jetted tub.
All new floors. Paint and crown molding, new doors and hardware. New bannisters on the stairs (this really came out pretty). New carpet upstairs. Ron's dad did some custom work for us on the fireplace, an office and made a window seat for my plants in the dining area. We must have put in 80 change orders. All Ron did was smile and say "I just want you guys to be happy."  I am pretty sure he went home every night with his head spinning but he managed to keep up haha.
We did want to add one thing for improvement, in that all our new doors were not painted on the top, so we have to go back and do this.  Also, one of my cabinets broke but I think it was a bad cabinet from KSI. I guess, given the number of things we had done, this is a small omission. I hope I can post pictures. The directions say you do it after you submit the review

"The project went excellent!!! Brandon walked me through every step of the way and he kept me abreast of all and changes that had to be made and all issues with permits with the city of Southfield, MI. It was a pleasure working with Brandon and his company when way above my expectation of the final outcome. I will truly recommend Brandon company for any size project big or small. Brandon is truly a professional and he listen to his customer needs and wants."

"C & O arrived at the jobsite prompt and ready to work. Both my wife and I appreciated the attention to detail that was given to our flooring and painting projects. C & O finished the project by ensuring clean up was done properly, thus leaving our home in above satisfactory condition. The job was done in an extremely precise manner and the crew left no stone unturned in providing top notch craftsmanship. We would definitely rehire for all of our home improvement needs."

"I had an appointment and had to leave home toward the end of the day.  As he was likely to finish the job before I returned, I gave him a check for the balance due.  When I got home that evening, it was obvious that he packed up and left as soon as I had gone, as no more work was done. I called immediately and received email promises to return but  follow up phone calls were never responded to.  That was early October and this is early April.   Though some of the runoff from the roof has been diverted, large amounts of rainwater still pours down onto the rear door area.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. 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.
