I am writing this recommendation for Riemco with profound enthusiasm because they have shown us a better way. We have lived in our Riemco-built house for about a year, and absolutely love it! We chose Riemco over other firms that we looked at because we were so impressed with their the process that they showed us. It was detailed and well documented, and as an engineer who designs multi-million dollar infrastructure projects, I knew that such a process is critical to delivering quality on time and on budget. The process delivered throughout our project. The process began with Peter designing our house, and Lauren designing the interior details. Peter was wonderful to work with, did an incredible job translating our paper sketch into a buildable plan. Lauren was also amazing, and spent a great deal of time sitting down with my wife to nail down interior details to our exact liking. The vendors that they sent us to, to select our materials were also wonderful to work with, and provided a great deal of help. Big George's and Floor Traders deserve a special shout-out. As design wrapped up, we had a wonderful experience working with Ron during construction. This was where the process continued to payoff, as the we did not encounter any surprises. Ron was great about answering our questions and keeping things on track, as was Rob--who is an incredibly knowledgeable, hands-on owner. I was particularly impressed at the thought that he put into materials and techniques, and how he was constantly looking for ways to improve and deliver the best. The end result, however, is the ultimate argument in favor of both Riemco and its process. Our house is incredible. From the details of design that Peter and Lauren preformed so brilliantly, to the quality of construction that Ron oversaw, the house is amazing. There are so many wonderful things about--from the reduced demand on HVAC due to its solid thermal design, to the lack of wear that a typical house would experience, to the beautiful interiors that Lauren and Peter helped design, it is truly our dream home. We highly recommend Riemco for any new home construction, expansion, or restoration. The approach they showed us delivered quality beyond our wildest expectations. Understand that when one hires Riemco, they will not deliver a typical McMansion. Riemco delivers a truly solid, beautiful home built to the exact liking of the individual customer.

There…read morewas a lot of upfront planning (i.e., repeat measurements, clarifying expectations, selecting materials, etc.), but their approach works in order to anticipate and plan for potential hiccups. Ken even had other subcontractors come out to ensure that we had the best estimate for the work. They kept us in the loop, cleaned up at the end of the day, and always demonstrated a high level of professionalism (i.e., early/on time, respectful, reliable, etc.), which made them stand out compared to all the other contractors we contacted. The only downside was the cost relative to other contractors. However, as newbie homeowners we've learned that the contractor fees tend to be higher in Ann Arbor. Although, we feel that the fee was well worth it in the end because of their stellar work. The bathroom previously was a room to avoid, and a space that we didn't use. They truly transformed our space. Looking forward to ADB helping us with our next project!!

I needed full demo of the back part of my home, a rat wall on the exterior wall, waterproofing, regrading, and reconstruction (insulation, drywall, paint, floors, etc.). I reached out and gathered estimates from more than 15 places in the area. Every other contractor didn't seem to grasp the complexities of the work I was trying to get quoted, but I could tell James completely understood and listened to me. His price was also very fair. He made the whole process straightforward. When a couple unexpected problems came up, he explained the situation to me and provided me with fair options. I am extremely happy with the level of quality and craftsmanship that Morpho Carpentry provided. I will absolutely work with James for my future home projects.

I've attempted to get a hold of Aaron 3 times to finish the work as he promised but no response. Notice most of the good reviews are old from when Aaron had a partner. Here are some pictures of his work. The negative review below called him snarky and I didn't understand it at first but now I do. He'll never own up to anything. It's never his fault no matter how poor of a job he does. Charged me $75/hr for flooring only to show up and see his painter doing the flooring. Unbelievably squeaky floors. I can hear them from downstairs. When I told him the floors are squeaky, he told me the house was old. I wish I could upload a video that shows the noise.

A2 Painters were great! Our home was due for a repaint (and we wanted to change up the colors), so…read morewe had a few different painting contractors come out for a quote. Aaron at A2 walked around the house and told us about their thorough process, and followed up with a very reasonable and very competitive quote. It took a little while to actually get the process going, but solely due to (very) hot weather and rain. We were 100% OK with this, because we wouldn't want to be painting outside in 90+ degree weather either! Soon enough though his crew showed up and got to work. They worked quickly and efficiently, and in just ~4 business days they were all done. For reference, we had A2 paint: entire house body (ranch, ~1100 sqft), foundation, all trim and all gutters from black to white, and entire garage (almost 4 car) and trim. The painters were also very knowledgeable in regards to what will look good and what won't. We were surprised that there were a few details we just never thought of (for example, the trim on our newer windows poked out from the house, and the painters strongly recommended that we paint the sides of the trim to match the house), and the painters had the experience to say "we think you should paint this piece body color, and this other piece trim color" - and it worked perfectly! When the painters were finished on the last day, they walked us around and did a thorough review of the house, which was really nice. We did find one or two very minor issues, which they promptly apologized for and fixed. Then they cleaned up and left the place as clean as it was when they arrived. Overall we are very happy with our new house colors, and the entire process with A2 Painters! Next time we need painting, we will be sure to go back to Aaron and A2.

They also repaired a damaged wall on the exterior side, and when it came to tile, they went to the store and handpick pieces that would match. They helped us find cost-saving alternatives which we really appreciated. They welcomed working with new materials. We wanted porcelain countertop and they were willing to install it.
