Carport Installation Services in Mulliken, MI

“We used Lavish Builders to build our new house on The Looking Glass River. Lavish Builders did an exceptional job on our house. We are so happy with the way it turned out. Lavish Builders were professional and very helpful. You always hear stories about how hard it is to build a house. Lavish Builders made this process very easy and we were able to really enjoy watching our house become our home. We highly recommend using Lavish Builders. It will be the best choice you will ever make!”

“We had all of our windows replaced and a new garage built. Derek replaced all of our windows and wrapped the outside of the windows, they look wonderful. Amber Valley also built a new garage for us, it was a good experience. If we had any questions or concerns it was addressed right away. After each day he followed up with us to see if we had any questions. Great job.”

“Brian is a real craftsman. He did a beautiful job installing our vintage front door and all the moldings. His services are not cheap, but quality costs money. Thank you, Brian”

“Becker & Sanders is nothing but professional, timely, communicative and extremely experienced in their field. I've worked with them multiple times over the years and I will continue to work with them because they have shown true interest in my projects and work with me to provide the best outcome for us both. They have exceeded expectations in any project I bring to the table, whether that be in my home or business.”

“Keith is the brother or father you wish you had in the construction business! His initial estimates are reasonable ones, so he won't be coming back through the project asking for extra money he should have anticipated. The quality of his thinking and pre-planning the details for our projects was better than other contractors who charged more and eventually delivered poorer results. He's very responsive to owner's concerns & he spotted any details not up to his standards before we could open our mouths to point them out. The workers he brought to our house were good ones that did not make us feel concerned for our safety or anything else. Although he has sifted the suppliers he deals with over time to the most responsible ones, he is also willing to pursue items or suppliers the homeowner wants to see which is a better choice. As a small company, it is not always possible for him to be the fastest on every project despite rain or delivery delays, but the end result was always worth any wait. In 2006 (our first project together) we hired Keith from 3 "moderately-priced contractors" recommended by the architect: Keith tore off the top of our 1950s detached garage, raised the walls to match house height, created great storage space under a roof pitched to match the house's and a connecting roof between buildings, re-sided the garage & sunny half of house with Hardie® board & battens to match original, adding insulation too, along with matching copper gutters & matching aluminum-clad overhand trellis work properly topped with copper for a seamless look. The long driveway & turnaround were completely rebuilt with proper slope away from garage & house, which required re-doing the adjacent front lawn & flagstone path and a November search for large white limestone blocks (for stairs where there had already been a too-steep path) to match the original stone porch & steps from a now-closed quarry. More recently, he repaired an original shower stall built by Italian craftsmen (without damaging tiles of shore birds hand-painted by the original owner Genevieve Gillette, ASLA the first woman landscape architect in Michigan and first inductee in the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame for her life's work in discovering, obtaining, and raising funds for local, state, & federal parks; and without destroying the irreplaceable original mosaic shower floor that matches the room's floor); installed a shower venting fan & repaired plaster ceiling; installed a granite countertop & light fixture that made the small space function better & look great, and touched up paint dinged in the work process. His work saved us an historic loss at less than 1/3 of replacement costs. Keith also went above & beyond his duty restoring the clear finish on original white oak window trim & large overmantle in living room that had been corrupted by some undiscoverable substance which caused it to repel several rounds of sanding and varnishing. In 2011 following our ideas, he completely remodeled our pass-through laundry/mechanical room for $17k. This included grinding & leveling the concrete floor damaged by a previous owner's remodeling; repairing an exterior wall surface, creating cupboards to match the existing original 1950s one to enclose all the mechanical devices while maintaining easy access, plus additional pantry storage; correcting decades of convoluted plumbing (and restoring a disappeared outdoor faucet with one having hot & cold water) & wiring (while adding a whole-house surge protector), adding functional lighting, outlets, & switches, spray painting the open ceiling to maintain accessibility for the final few remodeling projects, substituting a double stainless steel laundry sink for the non-original single fiberglass one (installing it perfectly centered on window), new laundry appliances, stainless counter tops designed to move for access to plumbing, hanging an expensive but slightly out-of-square mirrored rack so it looks right, etc. The most memorable moment of this project came on the initial half-day of demolition: While Keith & his brother were packing up to leave, we all noticed that the window well was filling with water & starting to cascade into the room under the 1950s Pella® casement window. First we all jumped to turn off water valves; next the men were outside in the window well trying to unclog its drain to avoid the window glass shattering. Another company quickly snaked the entire perimeter drain system. Neither Keith nor his brother would leave me alone until everything was put right indoors and plans to correct the problem the very next workday were in place. [FYI: As with all "accidents", this one required the coming together of several factors: Screen over window well's drain dislodged recently by some small animal allowing pipe to fill with debris; drain pipe for water softener not installed to code by previous owner but dumping into a window well; several days of Spring rain; the water softener's scheduled "refresh" discharge at 2 a.m. that day, further saturating the soil; and--finally--the "refresh" button bumped during the morning's demolition adding another tankful to the situation.] In 2012 Keith repaired some structural and fascia wood rotting on the original portion of deck and some cedar decking pieces rotting because that contractor had not allowed for cedar to shrink less than treated pine. When there's another project here, we'll wait for Keith Gipfert to be available to work with us.”

“I hired the BC crew to build a platform deck at my front door. I provided design ideas and they followed them and improved the project. The job was completed within a reasonable time frame and the clean up was well done. The next year I hired BC to put a metal roof on my house and garage. I also wanted gutter guards put on. This was a big project which Todd and his partner completed well within budget. The work was again way above average and the clean up was complete. This is a fine company to have just about any project completed for you.”
