We just wrapped up a kitchen and bathroom renovation with Detroit Build a few weeks ago and it…read morecouldn't have been a better experience! This is a long review, but I tried to include what would have been helpful when I was looking for the right contractor to work with before our project started. I reached out to the team late last summer and scheduled a time for an initial consultation in September 2020. Several members of the team came out, including Seabrook, the owner, and Rebekah, a designer with Whiski Kitchen. One thing I loved about that initial experience is that we discussed absolutely everything up front - the design concept, how far we should go with the scope of the project, the timeline (we entered into this project when I was 4 months pregnant - whoops), budget, etc. Then, Rebekah took everything I was looking for and turned it into a beautiful digital rendering that we tweaked a bit from there (for the record it looks EXACTLY like how our actual kitchen turned out!). I was really blown away by how much time and care they put into the project before we had even signed a contract or committed to anything. This process between the initial meeting and signing the contract took a couple of months but it was well worth it in the end and the back and forth up front saved us so much time once the project was underway. Work started a couple weeks later! During our early conversations Seabrook jokingly told us that no matter who we work with for this reno, we were going to be miserable while the house was torn apart, but it seriously wasn't that bad! I give so much credit to Detroit Build for how smooth the process was for many reasons, but most notably: - The team is pretty exceptional at project management and did an excellent job of ensuring there were almost no unused days while the project was underway. We chose to leave the house every day while the team was here (except Saturdays) and of the 12 weeks they were working, there were maybe only 4-5 days when I came home and couldn't clearly tell what had been done that day. They also wait to start demo until materials (such as cabinets) start to come in so you don't spend any time waiting on deliveries, which felt really important given that EVERYTHING is backordered at the moment. - Kristy was my main point of contact during the renovation and she's the absolute best - I miss texting with her every day now that our project is over! I didn't have a day-by-day project schedule or plan to go off of which I actually really liked because this business can be incredibly unpredictable and it's easy to feel disappointed when things don't get done on the exact day you're expecting them to. Instead, I had near-daily updates from Kristy via text - especially after the rough inspection was done, and a general idea of when we'd see major milestones completed and I always felt like I was in the loop/knew what to expect. - They were transparent about how the timeline and cost would be impacted if I made changes to the plan while the project was underway so we could weigh all aspects into our decisions. That said, we added quite a few elements (including painting two additional rooms outside of the initial scope) and the project ended right on time! - I just love the Detroit Build team and everyone they work with, both direct employees and subcontractors. Everyone was so kind, respectful and treated our 100-year old home like it was their own. The team even made recommendations for the design based on things they knew we'd need when we had a baby that I would never have thought of! They really treated our project with care and made us feel like a priority. At the end of the day, no renovation is going to be 100% perfect. I work in project management personally and I make mistakes, so it would be unreasonable for me to expect that anyone I hire wouldn't occasionally do the same. What set this crew apart was how they handled it when there was a concern or a miscommunication (though there were so few). In fact, the team proactively pointed out issues to us (like a small scratch on our tub) that they believed to be their fault that I hadn't even noticed. At the end of the day those experiences just showed me how much Seabrook and his team care about taking care of clients. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with during this renovation - I hope this has been helpful if you're considering DB for an upcoming project! We'll definitely hire them again in the future.

Let's start with the positives: The owner of Detroit Build came out and looked at the job and was…read morevery helpful. The workers who came into our house were very kind and friendly. They covered all of our floors leading up to the bathroom (remodel). The completed job matches our original plan. They were able to make adjustments when things were not going according to plan. They were able to obtain all the materials we picked out. Anytime we reached out to our Project Manager he was able to respond and give us information in a timely manner. Since we don't have a garage, they were able to provide us with a trailer which held all of our materials on site. Negatives: They gutted the bathroom as planned. When they laid the floor, they never covered it with paper so they continued to remodel the bathroom walking on the newly installed floor. Seems like not a big issue, but it's winter and they were dragging in dust, snow, ice and salt onto our new black floor. All of the debris was falling onto the new floor. Due to the fact that multiple people are working on multiple jobs, mistakes were made and workers had to come back out to fix errors made. Part of why we went with Detroit Build is because they had a design team. We were still required to go out and find the materials on our own. Our assumption was they would take care of this step. While our Project Manager did get back to us, we had to reach out weekly to get updates. At the end of the project the only cleaning that was done was construction cleanup. We were disappointed to find out that they did not have a cleaning company to take care of this job. It wasn't a clean and pristine feeling that you would expect with a remodel. We had to call and get a "deep clean" on our newly remodeled bathroom.

Our renovation was extensive moving interior walls, relocating rooms, and completing a full designer kitchen remodel and the end result feels like it was always meant to be this way. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are exactly what we were hoping for. The coffered ceilings, custom wainscoting, and molding flow together beautifully, and the new spaces blend seamlessly with the rest of our home. From the very beginning, the team made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and even enjoyable. A significant amount of time was spent on thoughtful planning, and their guidance and patience made all the difference in helping us make confident decisions. After having poor experiences with contractors in the past, trust was incredibly important to us. Kingdom was transparent, stayed on budget, finished on time, and consistently did what they said they would do. We spoke with several past clients before choosing them, and now we fully understand why they spoke so highly of Kingdom. We are incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and craftsmanship they brought to our home and would wholeheartedly recommend Kingdom Construction to anyone considering a renovation

He made sure things were done the right way, never cut corners, and always followed up promptly. We're incredibly grateful for his support and professionalism throughout the entire process.

We had a unique situation, with a new construction home that had defects needing to be fixed. I found Greater Home Services through a Google search, and reached out to Gary not knowing what to expect. The first time I spoke to him, he was very interested and intrigued by the project, and he explained he's a Mike Holmes (TV personality on HGTV) type of guy that is going to fix it right. Before even coming out to our house, he wanted to do as much research as he could about our defects based on the information that I shared with him. Gary did not want to come out to our house unprepared while wasting our time. He worked with his resources until he had some ideas for what was wrong, and then came over to look for himself, and share his solutions. Gary walked through his quote and when we decided to proceed, I asked if he could give us a schedule of when things will happen, as we never had a schedule when our house was built. He pulled out a white board and put together a schedule that we would keep at our house. Knowing things could move based on what was found, we would see any changes right away. Gary did an excellent job of coordinating all of the work that needed to be done, and gave us a daily report at the end of each day explaining what was found. He was always willing to meet in person, or talk over the phone if there were any questions. Gary's tile guy did an excellent job and wanted to make sure everything was done perfectly (no shortcuts) with his 30+ years of experience. The rough carpenters he works with, made sure plastic sheeting was on all of furniture as well as use a negative air machine to keep dust to a minimum. Like the tile guy, no shortcuts. The project was finished on time and on budget. The quality of the work was excellent and the attention to detail was evident in all aspects of the job. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering remodeling and we will most definitely consider him on any future projects.

They just completed a total master bath handicap access remodel in my condominium. I am delighted beyond my expectations. I not only wanted a safe and highly functional bathroom, but I wanted it to be lovely also and I feel that is exactly what I received. I obtained more than one bid for this remodel and accepted owner, Gary Grabowski's (CR, UDCR), proposal, knowing "you get what you pay for." Gary was very professional and highly knowledgeable about equipment and installation methods that would make my home-life much easier for me while keeping in mind my personal current and potential future needs. He was always concerned about and respectful of my budget. Once the plans were agreed upon, I had to wait a short while for my project's turn. What I liked was that once his crew began my project it was as though I was his only client until completion. All projects have small "hitches" which are insignificant when looking at the scope of the entire project. Gary and all of his workers were so highly skilled, hard-working, trustworthy, and always pleasant and courteous. They were careful as they went in and out of my home, kept things as orderly and neat as possible with a major construction job and even seemed to enjoy my dog! As Gary became familiar with my abilities and needs, he made other suggestions for other areas of my condo. They are continuing to do some smaller projects inside and outside and I will continue to use this company to do a few larger projects in the near future.
