General contractor serving Hazel Park

A city of post-war bungalows

Most of Hazel Park's housing stock went up after World War II: small, single-story bungalows on tight lots, built fast for returning veterans and young families and never meant to be showpieces. That's not a knock. It means the projects we take on here are usually about function, not square footage: a bathroom that finally works for a family instead of one person at a time, a kitchen that stops fighting you every time you open the oven door, a basement that adds real living space without adding a second story.

Honest budgets, not upsells

We're not going to quote a Hazel Park kitchen remodel the same way we'd quote one in Troy, and we're not going to pad the scope with finishes nobody asked for just to hit a bigger number. A lot of our Hazel Park clients are working with a defined budget, and our job is to tell you honestly what that budget buys: full replacement versus refresh, new cabinets versus refaced ones, and where the money actually changes how the room functions versus where it's just cosmetic.

What the inspection background catches on a smaller, older house

Post-war Hazel Park bungalows are old enough that plumbing, wiring, and roofing are frequently original or close to it, same as in Royal Oak, just on a smaller footprint. Mike checks all of it before pricing the job, because on a tighter budget, an unplanned electrical or plumbing surprise mid-project isn't just an inconvenience. It can be the difference between finishing the job as planned and having to cut scope halfway through.

What we won't talk you into

We're not going to recommend a full second-story addition on a street of single-story bungalows, or a kitchen finish package that costs more than the house is worth on the block. That's not us being cautious, it's us being honest about what actually makes sense for a Hazel Park property. When a bigger project does make sense, like a family that's outgrown a two-bedroom bungalow, we'll say so. When a smaller, well-executed remodel is the better call, we'll say that instead, even if it's a smaller job for us.

A single full bathroom is common in these houses too, same as in a lot of Royal Oak's older stock, and it's one of the more frequent calls we get here: a family that's added kids or aging parents to the household and needs a second bathroom, not a bigger kitchen. Where that fits usually depends on whether there's a basement to build into or a closet and hallway combination upstairs worth reclaiming, and we walk that with you honestly before pricing either direction. Whatever direction you go, you'll get one crew and one point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final punch list, not a rotating cast of subcontractors you're meeting for the first time on demo day.
