Sustainable Design Services in Ann Arbor, MI

“We had our basement finished by Clark + Aldine who provided both the design and labor for our project. We were thrilled with the outcome! Not only is it a fun space for our son, but it is also adult friendly. We have loved spending time entertaining in the space!”

“We wanted our bathroom completely redone and Rufino of Labra Design Build handled the whole project from start to finish. I gave him my list of must haves and he designed a digital rendering of what it would look like. From demolition to the final result he was always clean, courteous and considerate of our lives as he worked around us. We love our new bathroom and wish we had done it sooner. We would not hesitate to hire Labra Design Build for any other project and we highly recommend him.”

“Design, craftsmanship, creativity and personnel--all were exceptional. They really understood the "look and feel" we wanted the house to have, and showed terrific commitment (even passion) to its design and construction. Their enthusiasm for the project rivaled ours. Meadowlark very successfully built us the home we had envisioned when we first thought about this project. Highly recommended.”

“Riemco built our lake home. They were exceptionally professional, knowledgable and timely. Their attention to detail and focus on pleasing the customer was a plus for house. Our house is beautiful, and the envy of many of our neighbors. We are so pleases with the quality of our home from the ground up. Their general contractor was very easy to work with and thorough with every step. They made building our first home a pleasure and would highly recommend their family owned company.”

“I would highly recommend Forward Designers & Builders. Jef is a pleasure to work with, and offers innovative practical designs that are still extremely creative and artistic.”

“Adaptive Building Solutions helped us do a remodel on our home in 2012. They moved an staircase, expanded a bathroom, and added a closet. We were happy with the work ABS did for us - particularly the lovely built-in woodwork (shelves, bench, etc.). His price was more competitive than others who gave us quotes and was helpful in thinking about ways to adjust the project scope to keep us in budget. He was flexible along the way as we thought of minor additional changes we wanted to make. We would recommend Mike to others.”

“I am so happy with how my kitchen remodel turned out! I thought I had good design taste, but Brad helped me take it to the next level, opening my eyes to ideas I would have never come up with on my own. His input was essential, and he stayed in contact with me through the entire process. Brad was a pleasure to work with, and I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone who asks!”

“Custom Design/Build, Inc. did an extensive living area remodel for us. Our favorite part is the function - it's working for our family exactly the way we hoped. Their assistance in the design work made the difference. The build team was professional and the workmanship terrific.”

“During the past two years, my husband and I have embarked upon a major home remodeling project. We chose Giraffe Design Build to design and execute extensive remodeling of our 1950’s era ranch home, including a new roof with 3-foot overhangs in the Prairie style, and a new porch, entrance way, dining room and kitchen. Martin Clarke, our designer, has worked closely with us every step of the way. He has been extremely careful in making sure that he has captured our vision of how we want our remodeled space to appear. He has invested levels of creativity and enthusiasm that far exceed ordinary expectations, resulting in a beautiful, distinctive, and extremely well-crafted remodel. The entire staff at Giraffe has been responsive to our budget, and has given us accurate estimates of the costs and benefits of all prospective changes. Progress has been excellent: we have stayed very close to our timeline. The Giraffe construction crew, supervised by Geoff Beck, has gone out of their way to be courteous and helpful, and to communicate on-going questions and issues concerning the remodeling process. They take great pride in their workmanship, resulting in extraordinary levels of quality. Communication between Giraffe crew, ourselves, and the steady stream of subcontractors also has gone smoothly, and we have been impressed by the quality of work and service Giraffe’s subcontractors have given us. This reflects well on the company as a whole. Remodeling is a stressful journey. We feel very fortunate to have retained Giraffe Design Build. We could not imagine having a better experience with the day-to-day process of remodeling, nor a better outcome for our greatly improved home. The levels of professionalism, responsiveness to the homeowner, trustworthiness, efficiency, and creative craftsmanship shown by Giraffe Design build are of the highest possible caliber.”

“MainStreet Design Build is an extremely talented and professional firm. That's our kitchen in the Baldwin picture. Our craftsman style house was built in 1922. We love it for all of the woodwork and charm inside. We therefore needed a company that would respect and complement the historic style of our home, but update the kitchen with more space and ammenities for the way we function as a family today (kitchens were very small back in 1922!). We got all of that and more. We have incredible cabinetry with custom wood work and we love our eat in area. The kitchen totally flows with the rest of our home, but really is our crown jewel. We still "WOW" friends when they walk into the kitchen - it is absolutely beautiful and timeless and I wouldn't change a thing. MainStreet's incredible vision and their attention to detail are their greatest assets. From the beginning of the project until the end, the MainStreet staff was engaged and focused on us as the customer. We highly recommend MainStreet and would hire them again in a second - they truly are experts at what they do! ”
