Home Remodelers Near Farmington Hills

“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.

“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.”

“My first project with Father and Son was completed in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The professionalism was stellar. From the beginning of the project to the final closeout, Father and Son went above and beyond! I am starting my second project and would not go to any other construction company to do work on my home. I highly recommend Father and Son Construction; you won't regret it.”
