General Contractors Near Royal Oak

“Hire Nightingale. This is the company you want to do your home renovation and can trust with your investment. We could tell the difference from the initial consultation and walkthrough. We bought a 1950’s mid-century home, but we needed to bring a lot of the home up to the times, so we worked with Nightingale to do a whole-house renovation. Our desire to maintain the original character of the house and emphasize some of its original beauty was embraced and supported by Nightingale. Everyone in the company is thoughtful and considerate. Alan Kraus is perfect at his job – he was detailed, patient, and thorough in helping us get on-boarded to Nightingale’s process and throughout the procurement process. He helped us feel confident in starting the process out by answering our questions, we had so many questions, and being available for any and every question/discussion point during the entire renovation. Claire Rowland is the only person in the world who you want doing your CAD drawings and laying out the specifications of your renovations. And she was so sweet to work with. Our confidence in the company remained through demolition, framing, drywall, flooring and tile, millwork, paint, countertops, and punch list. The whole process. And this was in large part due to the work and relationship we built with our project manager, Jourdan Robles. She’s a no-nonsense, get things done worker. She was clear in her communication, rapid with her responses, doesn’t shy away from having an actual phone or in-person conversation, nor in communicating un-expected items that arose on the job, which were always accompanied by a few options for resolution for us to consider. Nightingale always showed up, consistently, working hard and attentive always. The organization of all the details project and coordination of the many, many subcontracts was run seamlessly, which was all work that Jourdan did behind the scenes. We’d be remiss to not also call out the talent of Dustin Zentz and Joe Mullas in their millwork in our home – they built us the most beautiful, floor-to-ceiling, walnut wall with flawless hidden doors. Everyone on their team goes above and beyond your expectations – people showed up, people worked and completed their jobs, people communicated, and more – people did small things that made ALL the difference. Whereas some general contractors might say “oh, no one will notice this little xzy detail that isn’t perfect”.. Nightingale re-did work to ensure it was done with the highest quality. A couple examples – our very large, and very heavy kitchen island was placed a couple inches off from the drawings; we didn’t find out until it had already been moved to the correct place. A couple inches! Our freshly re-finished hardwood floors had small spots of stripper dropped on it and instead of leaving the small, barely noticeable spots (which would be covered by our kitchen table), the floors were re-done to perfection. We kept our original sub-zero refrigerator, despite the slightly finicky freezer door, to come to see the kitchen progress one day and learn that Joe fixed our freezer door for us. So, long story short, feel free to get quotes from other general contractors, but hire Nightingale to take care of your home.”

“Steve and Ron were fantastic to work with. They transformed our very dark and outdated kitchen to something we love and helped us make changes throughout our place. They listened to what we wanted and gave us advice when we were not sure what to do. They are incredibly talented and very patient when I changed my mind multiple times! We loved working with them, and they will be the only team we call going forward. Kori”

“Outstanding! Excellent! Five starts +++. I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. Every aspect of their operation is professional and effective. THEY ACTUALLY RETURN YOUR CALLS, SHOW UP FOR APPOINTMENTS AND DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL DO!!! The project was completed on time, on cost and we were delighted with the results. Quality was above and beyond what we expected. It was not a huge project but needed some attention to detail. The estimate was accurate and the sales person was professional and knowledgable. The project manager did an outstanding job. He was available and responded in a timely manner every time we had a question or concern. He was present on the project and intervened with the subcontractor on, at least, two occasions to improve the quality of the work. I believe Father and Son mean what they said when they told us they would not want any work done in a customer's home that they would not have done in their own home. We are very pleased with the results but I think the best part of the experience with Father and Son was the excellent customer service and the way we were treated throughout the project with concern, respect and a sense of professional responsibility for the job. I would recommended Father and Son most highly and plan to use them again on other projects in the future. It's great when you find professionals you can really trust. A+++++”
