Custom Home Builders in Detroit

“When our family had the privilege to build our dream home, we were driven by two core values: environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. We were immediately drawn to Architectural Resource who are recognized as award winning architects and genuine thought leaders on how to build responsibly, creatively, and cost effectively to harness the natural benefits of the earth and to be responsible to our shared planet and natural resources. From solar power generation, to geothermal cooling, to bird safe glass, every step of the process was guided by their expertise in environmental sustainability. The team at AR also took our family on an amazing learning adventure from the importance of “aging in place” design to the importance of new wall structures and interior/exterior insulation technologies to maximize cooling in summer and heating in winter, while also maximizing our financial investment over the long term. From the founding principal, to the entire professional team and interns, that culture of thought leadership and educational collaboration with their clients shines through in every interaction. They are simply brilliant, patient, and kind people to work with and I would highly recommend Architectural Resource as a true partner in any project, whether smaller scale renovations to bring out the true potential of your existing home or pursuing your dream to build from the ground up to reach the sky and fill your soul in new and inspiring ways.

“We hired Main Street Design Build inin 2019 and all the had a full home completion in early 2021 (thanks, pandemic)! Main Street planned our remodel (kitchen, basement, mudroom, bedrooms, and more) into 3 phases in order to allow our family to live in the home through construction! MSDB took a whole day for each phase where they “prepped” the home with plastic protectors to ensure our living space was clean and safe from debris for our 4 kids and dogs. Not once in a year was a nail left out for my barefoot family. Truly, the attention to detail was top-notch. What could have easily been a horrible year was still an enjoyable process. MSDB communicated with us EVERY DAY so we knew who would be in our home and when. For a larger project, we were assigned project manager Dwain, and we saw him at our home every day to ensure everything was going as planned. We even had daily task notifications along with pictures daily via their communication software. This communication software was one of their selling points for us. Steve, Christine, and their team’s combined experience has lead them to be so knowledgable and have a great network of other expert professionals in the area. Lastly and importantly, MSDB was concsious of our budget throughout and providing the right rom the beginning of the project all the way to picking out finishing touches. If you are looking for a one-stop company to help oversee any size project (our home is nearly 8000 square feet with basement) look no further. The combination of professionalism, experience, creativity, and trustworthiness is unmatched. If we ever have any future work needed to be done, we plan to continue working with our new Main Street family!”

“My husband and I are building a custom home in Oxford Township, MI. We own the lot, we found a great builder, but we were having trouble with the floor plans. Our builder recommended a draftsman, who was a nice man, but he was very difficult to communicate with. We left that initial meeting with the impression that the draftsman was going to draw the house that he and the builder wanted - not the house we wanted. Luckily, I found Robert Kozloski & Associates on Houzz. I told Robert that he has been the easiest person to work with during this process, and that is 100% true. After our first meeting with Robert, my husband and I felt assured he was going to help us create our dream home. Robert is always open to questions and ideas. If our idea would not work, he would explain why and come up with suggestions on how to fix the problem. He was even kind enough to sketch-out ideas so that we could understand what it would look like before adding it to the blueprints. It is clear that Robert takes a lot of pride in his work, and his years of experience in both construction and architecture are a true asset to his clients. When my builder would say “No, you can’t do that,” I could always rely on Robert to come up with a solution based on his experience. Building a home is stressful, but thanks to Robert, and his willingness to always offer a quick reply by phone or email, he has helped us design a beautiful and classic home.”
