New Home Construction Companies in Dearborn

“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.”

“Rufino worked with us to design a whole house renovation and additions on a midcentury modern gem that essentially hadn’t been updated since being built in 1952, besides a kitchen refresh in the 1980s. From the start, he was easy to communicate with and work with. He walked through our current house so we could talk through design/function that we liked or didn’t like about our current living situation, asked us for our design inspiration with likes/dislikes, and then designed a home that is even better than we had imagined. Importantly, he thought about function, not just appearance, and how we would really use spaces based on how we live our life as a family. The 3D renderings were very helpful in visualizing the spaces, and they also gave us things to be excited about during the process. He always responded quickly and professionally, and he really took our ideas into account. Living in our house now is like a dream. We feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful (and functional) space. Rufino is a true artist. We don’t plan on leaving this house anytime soon, but if we had the opportunity to design another home, we would 100% reach out to Rufino again.”

“Mike and his team built our custom home. He worked with us on everything from the overall design to the little details that made our home work for us. The communication, problem-solving and really listening to our wants/needs is what made the entire building process awesome for us. We are absolutely in love with our home and so thankful!”
